Australian motor vehicle statutory write-offs
Today we’re announcing that we’re including an addition to our banned and restricted list, and rolling out a new policy for listing Australian imported motor vehicles, which have been statutorily written off in Australia. The new policy is that Motor Vehicle Traders must disclose in the listing body if a motor vehicle was statutorily written off in Australia.
Trade Me is concerned that there are vehicles in the New Zealand fleet that have been through the statutory write-off process in Australia and then on-sold without the buyers being aware of the history of the vehicle.
Find out more about the reasons for this change on our Trust and Safety blog and check out our new Help page on how traders can comply. More...
Some tweaks to our privacy policy

Updated wine selling policy
We’ve just updated our policy for selling wine on Trade Me. These changes make it clearer that sellers need to display their off-licence information on their listings. This has always been the case under NZ law, but we were keen to clarify. We’ve also highlighted that sometimes we might need info that shows a seller’s licence remains in force.
Our wine seller application form has also had a revamp.
These updates come into effect immediately for all future wine sellers.
Introducing: Book a courier
Today we’ve rolled out a new courier booking service for all Trade Me members. Now you can book a courier for items you've sold and have it picked up from home.
It’s super cheap, simple and you can use any old packaging.

Toot toot! List your car on the iOS app
Gone are the days of taking photos and emailing them to yourself to upload via the desktop site. Now you can list your car on the Trade Me iOS app and upload up to 20 images at once while you're standing in front of your ride.
You can list your car as either a classified or an auction, and you can also list in ‘Car stereos’ and ‘Car parts & accessories’ now too. While you can't edit your Trade Me Motors listings from the app just yet, this will be coming in an update soon.
