We’re refreshing our emails
From today you may notice that some of the emails we send you have been refreshed.
What’s changing?
We want to ensure the emails we send are more relevant to you, helpful, and a lot easier on the eye. We’re using a third party tool to help us with this. More...
A clarification to our terms and conditions
What’s changing?
From today, we’re tweaking section 4.2(u) of our terms and conditions to clarify that we’ll be periodically searching the publicly available Motor Vehicle Trader Register (MVTR) to check and maintain dealers’ Registered Motor Vehicle Trader (RMVT) status.
As some current RMVTs will be aware, we already check the MVTR occasionally, as outlined in section 15(h) of our privacy policy, where we state “[w]e may also collect publicly available information about you, such as for fraud prevention purposes.” More...
Police change the process of purchasing firearms
The online sale of firearms has become a hot topic this week and as a result Police have made a change to how they manage remote firearms sales.
This means if you’re buying a firearm that you don’t intend to pick up (i.e. it will be delivered), you will need to provide further information in order for Police to verify your firearms licence and allow you to complete the trade.
Buyers will need to have specific information from sellers that they must provide to Police. Police will fill out their form and then email it to the seller themselves to say they’ve sighted the buyer’s licence. More...

A tweak to our privacy policy
We’re making a couple of tweaks to our privacy policy in light of some awesome new services Trade Me is offering.
Shipping:
Starting this month, some of our sellers will be able to book a courier on Trade Me when they have sold an item. This means a courier will be able to pick up your sold item from your preferred location and deliver it to the buyer. This will be available on the desktop site only, from ‘Sold items’ on your My Trade Me page. We’ll roll this out to all sellers in early November. We’ll also be making subsequent releases on our iPhone and Android apps as well as My Products. More...
