Trade Me Property is turning 10

Written by The Trade Me team in General at 11:30am, Mon 25 May 2015

Trade Me Property turns 10 in June. To celebrate hitting double digits, we’re giving away $60,000 cash over the next six weeks to spend on the home you love – that’s $10,000 a week.

We’ve taken a stroll down memory lane and found six cool houses that have been listed on Trade Me Property over the past 10 years. We’ll be relisting one each week from 24 May through to 4 July. Use the clues we release weekly on formeitwas.co.nz to find the house hidden on our site. When you find it, save it to your Watchlist and you're in the draw! Easy as pie. More...

You may have noticed our mascot Kevin the Kiwi sporting a nicely tailored pink shirt today – he’s acknowledging Pink Shirt Day. This cool initiative in New Zealand and around the world is aimed at raising awareness about the power to prevent bullying. Its goal is to reduce bullying by celebrating diversity and promoting the development of positive social relationships.

Privacy Policy changes come into effect today

Written by The Trade Me team in General at 10:00am, Tue 5 May 2015

We wanted to let you know that we've made some changes to our privacy policy to better explain how we handle information about you that we collect, store and use.

Here’s a summary of the areas we’ve changed.

Listing content
We’ve added a section that clarifies the way Trade Me handles different types of information that you upload. When we collect personally identifiable information, such as your name, date of birth or contact details, we protect this information very carefully. However, when you write listing content and upload images, or receive feedback from other members, we publish this for you on the site. As the content is then publicly available, it may appear elsewhere on the internet, or be accessed by developers who have access to our API. Occasionally Trade Me will use this listing content to enrich our other services, such as using vehicle images to enhance MotorWeb’s vehicle information reports, or displaying your listings to members in other advertising. You can check these changes out at clause 2 of our policy. More...
