Changes to our Cats and Dogs categories
We recently released our new Code of Animal Welfare for Cats and Dogs. When we announced the code we gave Trade Me members a heads up about some changes coming to listing cats and dogs in order to promote greater animal welfare when they’re listed with us.
The first of those changes comes into effect today. We have now split the Cat and Dog categories into 'to buy’ and ‘to adopt’. This allows sellers to clearly state whether they are selling a dog or cat, or if they’re simply trying to rehome an animal they can no longer care for.
All current listings are in the process of being migrated to the new categories so sellers don’t need to make any changes to their listings. More...
Privacy Policy change coming into effect today
Two weeks ago we gave you a heads up about a minor change to our privacy policy. We’ve previously used the Google Display Network for remarketing, which is when we display Trade Me ads to you after you leave our site. Going forward we’ll also be using another service called DoubleClick. We’ve tweaked our policy at section 12.g to reflect this, so make sure you have a read of our updated policy as this change comes into effect today.
When you do things like browse around Trade Me, make purchases, create listings or add things to your Watchlist, we'll continue to place a cookie on your browser so that we can serve you with ads when you’re browsing other websites later. Section 12 of our policy sets out information on how we use cookies.
As always, if you have any questions don’t hesitate to drop us a line.
A tweak to our privacy policy
We wanted to let you know we’re making a minor change to our privacy policy to update the provider we use for remarketing, which is when we display Trade Me ads to you after you leave our site. When you do things like browse around Trade Me, make purchases, create listings or add things to your Watchlist, we place a cookie on your browser so that we can serve you with ads when you’re browsing other websites later.
We’ve previously used the Google Display Network to do this, but we’re keen to start using another service called DoubleClick instead. We’ll be tweaking our policy at section 12.g to reflect this. Section 12 of our policy sets out information on how we use cookies.
These changes come into effect on 7 July 2015. As always, if you have any questions don’t hesitate to drop us a line.
New makes and models for Trade Me Motors
We’re always looking for ways to make it easier for sellers to list vehicles on Trade Me, and for buyers to find the vehicle they are looking for.
A listing that is described accurately is important to buyers and sellers alike, so today we’ve updated our Used car category by adding three car makes: McLaren, Morgan and Tesla, along with nearly 300 car models. We’ve also updated Motorbikes with the addition of 29 bike makes.
We hope you find these new categories useful. More...
