We've switched messaging off

Written by The Trade Me team in General at 9:30am, Thu 11 Aug 2016

Over the past few months we've slowly been releasing a new messaging system. You might have used the new system yourself, or received emails from members who had access to it.

Since releasing the messaging system, we’ve received a heap of valuable feedback from members. As a result of some of this feedback, we’ve decided to switch it off and have another think about how messaging could work best on Trade Me. We've turned it off on the desktop site this morning, and will be doing the same on the Android app soon too.

If you've got any email conversations underway that started via the new messaging system, you can still reply to these as normal.
