Labour Day Payment Delays
Due to the Labour Day holiday there will be a delay in processing payments to your Trade Me account made by phone or internet banking.
If you pay by these methods please be aware that payments made after 10pm Friday 24 Oct will not be processed until Tuesday 28 Oct.
Enjoy the long weekend!
Security update: Poodle
You may have heard some talk about a security vulnerability named Poodle (“Padding Oracle On Downloaded Legacy Encryption”) which affects browsers relying on an outdated Internet security protocol called SSL 3.0 or SSLV3. Because of the vulnerability we will no longer be supporting this old protocol.
The good news is that very few Trade Me members will be affected. We know the vast majority of members are using new versions of browsers which include newer and more secure security protocols. You do not need to update your browser if you are using Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer 7 or a later version, or Opera 5 or a later version.
A small number of members using older browsers may experience issues visiting secure Trade Me pages and will need to update their browser. We know this might be a bit of a hassle for these members, but it’s an important change and part of providing our members with a safe and trusted marketplace.
Scheduled Maintenance
Trade Me is going to be unavailable between 2:00am and 3:00am tomorrow morning for scheduled maintenance. All auctions that are due to close between 2am and 3am will be extended by two hours.
We apologise in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.
New: Category Updates in Trade Me Jobs
We’re excited today to launch a new top-level category in Trade Me Jobs: Automotive. A top-level category is a major industry or category that then expands into further specialised areas (or sub-categories).
The sub-categories in Automotive are:
- Automotive technician
- Diesel mechanic
- Management
- Panel & paint
- Sales, operations & parts
- Other
We’re adding this category because lots of roles are being listed on Trade Me Jobs in the Automotive industry, and they outgrew their old home. More...
