Trade Me Colouring-In Competition - The Winners!
It was really (really!) hard to choose our top picks for the Trade Me Colouring-In Competition, but we are stoked to present the winners as chosen by our in-house design team, including the talented illustrator who created the original.
You can see the winning entry below, and the runners-up and honourable mentions over on our Facebook page.
Daylight Saving kicks in this Sunday
It's that time of year again - Daylight Saving kicks in at 2:00am this Sunday, so you'll need to put your clock forward one hour.
To make sure everything ticks over smoothly, auctions due to close between 2:00am and 4:00am will be extended by two hours.
Daylight Saving will stick around until Sunday, 5 April 2016, so there's plenty of time to soak up the summer sunshine. More...
Property pricing changes on the way
On 6 October we’re making some changes to the listing fees and promotional fees for private sellers listing property for sale and for rent. This also includes car parks for rent.
The new pricing is set out in the tables below:
Improved search results
We’ve been making some tweaks to search results when you do a keyword search from the homepage. At this stage we’re running it as a trial and 50% of members who are logged in will be seeing the changes.
The aim of these tweaks is to try and serve up the most relevant set of search results for you. Without getting into the technical guff, some clever cookies here at Trade Me have been working on an algorithm that ticks away in the background to deliver these results. The nature of this means we might not get it right 100% of the time, but hopefully the results you do see will be pretty close to the mark.
We’ll be monitoring how the trial goes for members and if things are looking good, it’s likely we’ll roll this out to all members in the future. Watch this space! More...

Casual listings
The price to purchase a casual job listing will increase from $146.96 + GST ($169 incl. GST) to $154.78 + GST ($178 incl. GST).

To add branding to your casual listing, log in to your Trade Me account and tick the branding option at stage 4 of the listing process. Branding costs $30 + GST ($34.50 incl. GST per job). More...
