GST heads north on Friday
Unless you've had your head buried in the sand somewhere, you'll know that GST is set to increase from 12.5% to 15% on Friday, 1 October.
The good news is that our GST-inclusive fees won't be going up with the GST rise. They will not change.
We will be tweaking the receipts we issue to members to reflect the GST change (and to ensure GST-registered sellers can claim GST at 15%). More...
Reminder: Daylight savings on Sunday morning
Daylight savings kicks in at 2am this Sunday morning, and you'll need to put your clock forward one hour.
So nobody gets inconvenienced by the time change, all auctions due to close between 2am and 4am on Sunday morning (about 1000) will be extended by two hours.
Daylight saving will be with us right through until Sunday 3 April 2011. More...
Home & Living: iPad winners
Last month, anyone who spent $25 or more in the Home & Living category was in with a chance of winning a brand spanking new iPad.
The good news is there are five winners, hailing from Hamilton (x2), Wellington, Auckland and Arrowtown. The bad news is that if we haven't been in touch with you, then you're not one of the lucky five.
Thanks to everyone who entered. And if you're gutted that you didn't win, you can find yourself an iPad over here right now.
Free volunteer listings in Canterbury
At Trade Me Jobs, we're keen to do our little bit to help Canterbury out as the region begins to pick up the pieces after the devastating earthquake.
For the rest of the month, casual listings for all voluntary roles listed in the Canterbury region will be free. These roles will remain on Trade Me Jobs for 30 days (unless removed earlier by the advertiser).
You'll see a little line of red text letting you know about this when you list a job too. More...
Waterfront wi-fi on the way for Wellington
Visitors to the Wellington waterfront are set to enjoy fast and free wireless internet access in time for Christmas, thanks to a joint effort by Trade Me and Wellington City Council.
The free wi-fi network will mean visitors to the waterfront will be able to surf the internet via a wireless network from Queens Wharf, across to the NZX Centre, and down to Te Papa. We reckon the network will be all up and running in early December 2010.
We're doing it because it seems like a good thing to do - there are no commercial or revenue objectives in the mix. We're an online business and we love being part of Wellington, and we hope that lots of locals, tourists, travelling business people and community groups get amongst it. More...
