Afterpay has landed
We announced in May that we've teamed up with Afterpay to offer a buy now, pay later payment option on Trade Me. We're pleased that as of today Trade Me members can now use Afterpay on over 1.3 million items across 230 categories.
Buyers who use Afterpay get their items immediately but pay it off in four fortnightly interest-free payments. For instance, if a buyer bought a pair of pants for $100 using Afterpay, they receive them straight away but pay them off in fortnightly payments of $25.
For more information check out the Afterpay help pages.

From 13 September, we'll begin to ask for the name and number on a firearms licence before allowing a Trade Me member to bid, ask questions, click ‘Buy Now’ or continue with the purchase of a firearms listing. We will use this information to verify that the buyer or seller has a legitimate and current firearms licence, and that those details match their Trade Me membership. More...
