Macrons (and other accents) on your name
This week we added the ability for members to include macrons (and other accents) when entering their first and last names. You can update your name from the contact details section on your My Trade Me page.
While it may seem like a tiny area of the site that we’ve updated, it was a large piece of work with wide-ranging impact to the code base. We wanted to update this and the member profile first, as a person’s name is an important part of their identity and they should be able to write it correctly.
Our end goal is to have Trade Me fully support unicode across all data we store and we’ll continue to work towards this. More...
Scheduled maintenance
Trade Me will be unavailable on Wednesday, 4 October between 2:00 am and 2:30 am for scheduled maintenance.
All auctions that are due to close between 2:00 am and 2:30 am will be extended by one hour.
We apologise in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.
Issue with Hotmail emails
We're aware of an issue affecting some members who use a Hotmail email address. This may cause a delay in some emails being delivered and received.
We are currently working with Hotmail to resolve this. If you aren't receiving your Trade Me emails, we'd recommend using your My Trade Me page to stay on top of your trades, or setting up a temporary Gmail email address.
We'll update this announcement when we have an update.
Some updates to our Privacy policy
