We are aware of issues with the site. Auctions are not closing at the moment and anything that tries to access older data will be failing. Our technical team are working on the issue and we'll post any updates here.

Small update to our listing policies

Written by The Trade Me team in General at 9:30am, Mon 28 Jan 2019

From 11 February, we'll be making an update to our listing policies.

This change will mean that sellers listing in the ‘Sports’ category may only have one listing per identical item.

Small category changes

Written by The Trade Me team in General at 10:00am, Mon 14 Jan 2019

Today we've added a 'New Zealand artist' category under 'Art', and made '3D Printers & supplies' a new category under 'Home > Computers'.

Over the next few weeks we'll also be making the following changes to a few categories:

• 'Smart watches' will become a new category under 'Jewellery & watches'
• 'Electric bikes' will become a new category under 'Sports > Cycling'
• The two categories 'Heart rate monitors' and 'Pedometers' will be merged and renamed 'Fitness trackers', under 'Home > Sports > Exercise equipment & weights'
• 'Home > Crafts > Knitting & Weaving > Wool' will be renamed to 'Home > Crafts > Knitting & Weaving > Yarn'
