Changes to our banned & restricted items list
Pea straw and pea seed in the Wairarapa region
From today we’re preventing the sale of pea straw or pea seed that originated from anywhere in the Wairarapa region, including south of Pahiatua.
This change is to help eradicate and prevent the spread of the pea weevil in the controlled area MPI has set up in the Wairarapa region. It’s expected this ban will last for two years. More...
A new way to communicate with buyers and sellers
We’ve developed a new messaging system to make it easier for Trade Me buyers and sellers to communicate once a trade has happened. Now you can send a message about a trade from within Trade Me, without having to jump into your emails.
This is currently available to 50% of members and will soon be available for everyone to use.
When you have access, you can use it once you’ve bought or sold something. Wherever you see the ‘Email buyer’ or ‘Email seller’ links or buttons on Trade Me, you’ll be able to send a message. More...
Introducing car news and reviews
We’re stoked to launch a new section for car news and reviews on Trade Me Motors. These are all written by Kiwis, for Kiwis.
As well as a massive archive of car reviews (thanks to our partners at Auto Media Group), there’ll be new content added every day. This should make it even easier to research vehicles and make informed decisions when you’re buying a car.
Keep an eye out over the next few months for even more features. More...
2016 Transparency Report

The report details the number of information enquiries we got from government agencies in the year from 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2016 as well as a whole lot of other detail we think you should know about. More...
On sale pricing available for all Trade Me Stores
From today, all professional sellers with a Trade Me Store can use was/now pricing and have listings included in the ‘on sale’ filtered search results.
We’ve also updated the Trade Me Stores terms and conditions to remind sellers they need to advertise prices accurately and show they are ‘in trade’.
