New promotional packages for car listings
For a limited time, we’ve selected the best promotional extras for car listings and packaged them together at a reduced price:
These new packages are an opportunity to combine promotional extras to showcase your listing in the best possible way. 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...
Redesigned listing page
We’re excited to announce that today we begin rolling out a new listing page in all General Items categories to more members. Up until now, the new page has only been visible to a small group of members, but over the next week or so we plan to roll it out to everyone.
What’s changed?
We’ve redesigned the listing detail page to make the browsing and buying experience better across Trade Me’s desktop site. There’s a fresh new look with tabbed sections for quick access to the Description and Questions & answers. More...
Scheduled Maintenance
We may have recently said we’re open 24/7/365, but every now and then we take the site down to perform important maintenance.
Just a heads up that Trade Me is going to be unavailable between 2:00am and 5:00am tomorrow morning for scheduled maintenance and upgrades. All auctions that are due to close between 2am and 6am will be extended by four hours.
We apologise in advance for any inconvenience this may cause. More...

Join Trade Me’s staffers as they take you behind the scenes of the 24/7/365 operation at Trade Me.
