Aroha for Christchurch
Today we’ve launched Aroha for Christchurch – a range of practical and financial ways you can support our community.

We’re matching every dollar spent via the Aroha Store and our donation tool. More...
Site paused for four minutes today

Changes we’re trialling on Trade Me Motors
We want to make it easier for you to sell with Trade Me by simplifying the way you list and promote cars, including the removal of auction success and withdrawal fees.

• a new listing process
• different fees
• longer listing duration of 90 days (promotional features also last for 90 days)
• a new reduced listing fee if you need to continue your listing after 90 days. More...

Clearly New Zealand has indicated, since the horrific attacks on Friday, that it wants change and we support that. More...
Halting the sale of semi-automatic weapons
We are halting the sale of semi-automatic weapons while we wait for more clarity from the Government.
We have listened to public sentiment following Friday’s terrorist attack in Christchurch and decided to remove all semi-automatic firearms sales and parts associated with those weapons today.
We’re obviously still reeling, like all New Zealanders, and our hearts go out to the victims and their families and friends. More...
