Scheduled Maintenance
We’d like to let you know that Trade Me will be offline for scheduled maintenance and upgrades tomorrow morning from 2am to 3am.
All auctions that are due to close between 2am and 3am will be extended by two hours.

We’ll be nutting out the main cause of this during the night and we're sorry if this has caused frustration for any of you.

If you’re a professional seller and selling items in trade, the law requires you to disclose this to members when you’re selling items on Trade Me. And if you don’t, the Commerce Commission can fine you. More...
