A new policy for the sale of cats & dogs
Today we’re announcing the first in a range of measures to promote improved animal welfare when cats and dogs are listed on Trade Me. There are a few moving parts to this, but it will include a new Code of Animal Welfare, a listing cap for sellers which will come into effect on 23 July 2015 as well as some changes to the listing process which will be introduced over the coming weeks and months.
We’ve consulted widely on our policy changes over the past year and have already made some incremental changes along the way.
We have produced the Trade Me Code of Animal Welfare in close consultation with the New Zealand Veterinary Association, the Ministry for Primary Industries, and RNZSPCA. We would also like to acknowledge the input of the New Zealand Kennel Club, The New Zealand Cat Fancy, SAFE and Trade Me members into the policy. More...
It’s Fed Ex Day at Trade Me HQ
What cool stuff can our staff build in 24 hours? We're about to find out as Trade Me’s sixth ‘Fed Ex Day’ gets underway.
What is Fed Ex Day?
Fed Ex Day is Trade Me’s version of Atlassian’s ShipIt Day. It’s a 24-hour event where teams pull themselves together to dream up and complete a project, work furiously to bring their vision to life, and culminates in a no-holds-barred demo in front of the rest of the company.
We think it's a great way for our staff to work on some pretty interesting projects. One such project built during a past Fed Ex Day is our Spotify-based office music player, PlayMe, which is now used in our offices across the country. More...

Use the clues we release weekly on formeitwas.co.nz to find the house hidden on our site. When you find it, save it to your Watchlist and you're in the draw! Easy as pie. More...
