CourierPost Trackpaks prices reduced
We have reduced the prices for the CourierPost Trackpaks. Your order of Trackpaks will be delivered by CourierPost within 2 business days.
You have to be Address Verified and have a Feedback rating of more than 50 to purchase the Trackpaks. The “Buy Trackpaks” button can be found on your MyTradeMe page.
Last logged in date now available for all members
You can now see the last day that a member logged into Trade Me on their feedback page. The “Last logged in” date is available on the top right-hand of the page.
The change will help other members, in the event of communication problems, to see when you are away from Trade Me for an extended period.
Changes to auction close emails for sellers
We have updated the auction close emails sent to sellers.
Emails sent for successful auctions now include the shipping details from the “Payment / shipping” field.
For unsuccessful listings, we now also provide you with the number of bidders/watchers on your auction at the time of closing.
Category changes
Today a variety of new subcategories have been added to the site.
If your item was listed in any of the categories that have been changed, you will be prompted to reselect a category from the new breakdown when re-listing. All of the other auction details will be carried over as per normal, including your photo.
Also today the following categories have been removed from the site: Services category, from Business & industry, and the Jobs category, from Lifestyle. We have removed these categories because of the low volume of listings and the high number of commercial listings in these categories. We will be refunding all listing fees for any affected listings.
