Scheduled outage on 2nd November
Written by Trade Me staff at 10:33pm, Mon 1 Nov 2004
Trade Me will be down for a scheduled outage on Tuesday from 5am for approximately two hours.
All auctions that have a finish time between 5:00am and 8:00am will be extended by 3 hours. So auctions due to close at 7am will close now at 10am. We apologise for any inconvenience.
New “Buy Now” limit to protect sellers
Written by Trade Me staff at 4:39pm, Mon 1 Nov 2004
Today we have introduced a limit on the number of auctions each member can place a “Buy Now” on. Members are now limited to 20 “Buy Now” transactions in a day.
This has been introduced to stop scammers (or automated software) bidding on large numbers of auctions where there is no intent to purchase.
