New message board spot for Top Sellers
We’ve added a new topic to the message board called Trade Me Top Sellers.
While you don’t have to be a Top Seller to post in there, we’re hoping it will be a central point for professional sellers to network and provide support, as well as discuss Trade Me features such as My Products and Pay Now.
The Top Seller team will pop in from time to time to offer advice and help. Happy chatting!
Payment delays at Christmas/New Year's
The banks shut up shop over the Christmas break, which means some payments to Trade Me accounts will be processed a little later than usual.
If you pay via phone or internet banking after 10pm on Friday, 24 December the payment will not be processed to your account until the morning of Thursday 30 December.
The same state of affairs will occur over the New Year's break. If you pay via phone or internet banking after 10pm on Friday 31 December then your payment will not be processed until the morning of Thursday 6 January. More...
Official Trade Me iPhone application out today
The first edition of Trade Me’s official iPhone application is out and about today. You can download it for free from Apple's App Store over here. We’ve released this app because we see this as an important platform to connect with, and something that will make Trade Me easier to use for a bunch of our members.
We know it has been a long time coming, but it's been a big job. We didn’t want to launch an app just because we could. We reckon building an app in itself is not particularly hard, but building a decent app certainly is. As well as all the QA work, beta testing, planning and coding, we've also been very keen to ensure the app feels like it is part of Trade Me.
It's great to have the iPhone app out hard on the heels of our API being released into the great wide open last month. It means we are starting to see a suite of applications interfacing with Trade Me and we think that’s a good thing. Of course, this is the first edition and it is not perfect. We'll be working hard to refine it for version 2 at some stage. More...

Reminder about free gallery listings
Last Thursday (4 November) we held a Free Gallery Day to celebrate a big milestone for Trade Me Jobs.
A lot of the freebie Gallery listings will be coming up for relist tomorrow (11 November). For anyone who took advantage of that offer, this is just a friendly reminder that when any items come up for relist, you will need to pay to keep the Gallery feature on. If you want Gallery removed from your listings, please remove the tick from the Gallery box on the Extras page.
We don’t want anyone to get surprised when they see this fee charged.
Payment delay for Labour Day
The banks shut up shop on Monday 25 October for Labour Day, which means some payments to Trade Me accounts will be processed a little later than usual.
If you pay via phone or internet banking after 10pm on Friday 22 October, the payment won’t be processed until the morning of Wednesday 27 October.
Sorry for any inconvenience caused, but that’s the nature of public holidays. Enjoy the long weekend!
