New Jobs listing page design
We’re always looking for ways to make the job hunting experience better. Right now we’re refreshing the design of the Jobs listing page and over the next couple of days we will release the new design to 50% of our members who are chosen at random. Over the coming weeks we’ll be tweaking the design based on the feedback we receive.
What’s changed?
There aren’t any functional changes with the new design so if you have a job listed, you don’t need to make any changes to your listing.
We’ve refreshed the design to ensure the important information is visible in the right places where we think users need it. More...
Changes to Cat and Dog categories
We recently released our new Code of Animal Welfare to promote greater animal welfare for cats or dogs that are listed with us. We’ve been making a number of changes progressively to these categories to help sellers comply with the code. The next round of changes will be released at the end of August.
What's changing?
Cats and dogs sellers listing a litter will have to select either a single animal or a litter when they create the listing. They’ll also need to specify how many animals are in the litter (a maximum of eight is allowed), along with some other information like the animals’ DOB. To comply with the code dog sellers will need to enter the mother's microchip number if they're selling puppies less than 90 days old. This field isn't compulsory for dogs over 90 days, and is not available for cats.
These changes are all working towards promoting a higher standard of welfare for cats and dogs that are sold or rehomed on Trade Me. More...
Redesigning the listing page
We’re excited to announce we've rolled out the new listing page to all members browsing in the Monitors, iPhone and Clothing & Fashion categories – previously this was only visible by people with even member numbers.
Eventually we’ll be showing the new design in all General Items categories, but the next step is showing the new page to 5% of members across all General Items categories. If you’re part of the 5%, you could be seeing the new design from as early as today.

Super Feature for non-car sellers
From today, Super Feature will be available in Tractors and other heavy machinery categories.
As a seller, Super Feature is a great way to promote your vehicle. As the saying goes ‘first in, best dressed’, and with 73% of buyers looking at Featured listings first*, you are putting your best foot forward.
Listings with Super Feature are added to members’ Watchlists four times more than those listings without.* It boosts vehicles to the top of Motors search results in a large, prominent carousel with two additional images. Super Feature lasts for seven days. More...
Do you comply with our Code of Animal Welfare?
We recently released our new Code of Animal Welfare to promote greater animal welfare when cats or dogs are listed with us.
From today, sellers listing a cat or dog can now indicate on their listing if they comply with the Code by selecting a tick box when they create their listing, or by editing their current listing. You’ll notice that cat and dog listings now display one of the following options:
“Animal welfare: The seller has indicated this animal has been bred and cared for in accordance with Trade Me’s Code of Animal Welfare." More...
