UPDATE: The maintenance scheduled for 2am tomorrow will no longer be taking place. Trade Me will be available as normal. Sorry for the false alarm.
Trade Me is going to be unavailable between 2am and 5am tomorrow morning for scheduled maintenance and upgrades. All auctions that are due to close between 2am and 6am will be extended by four hours.
We apologise in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.Tweaks to the Trade Me T&Cs
We’ve updated our Terms and conditions relating to how we hold funds in Trade Me members’ accounts, in particular to state that we hold funds on trust for members. The tweaks are in clauses 5.2(b), 5.2(g) and 5.2(h).
A bunch of category changes
In light of recent feedback we’ve added some new categories to the site, including:
- new brand categories for Video cameras in Electronics & photography
- new brand categories for Dishwashers in Home & living
- some new sizing options in the Clothing categories, including girls’ Uniforms, boys’ Costumes and unisex Pyjamas
- some new Books categories in Children & babies (Educational and Activity & colouring) and Non-fiction (including Art, Photography & design, Business, finance & law, and Health & lifestyle)
We’re moving relevant listings into the new categories, so bear with us as we make that happen. In the meantime, feel free to post category suggestions on the message board.

We have also made a change to the “seller success fee top-up” and have added the Salvation Army’s Canterbury Earthquake Relief Appeal as an option for sellers, replacing our long-term partner Forest & Bird. More...
