Changes to Trade Me Motors
- You can now browse cars by price range, as you could before our redesign last week.
- You can subscribe to the entire car category, as well as individual makes
- We have improved the cars search engine
Site stable once more
We seem to have resolved the problems that affected the site last week. Thanks for your patience.
Scheduled Outage
Trade Me will be down for a scheduled outage Tuesday at 2pm for 30 minutes. All auctions that have a finish time between 1:45pm and 2:45pm will be extended by 60 mins. So auctions due to close at 2:15pm will close at 3:15pm. We are doing a routine system upgrade.
Server problems
We have been experiencing some problems with users being logged out regularly. The problem has our full attention and is being worked on. We will let you know any updates on the announcement board. Please bear with us.
Major re-launch
We have released our new categories and sell process. There are a lot of new features, the highlights include:
General enhancements
- Multi level categories to allow more scope for growth
- You can load up 3 photos per auction
- Enlarged photos on auction page, photos brought to the top of the page
- Higher quality photos (less compression)
- Quick bid section on auctions, allows bid without scrolling
- 'You lead' will show at top of auction for the winning bidder
- Auctions are 'saved' during the sell process. You can start the process, and complete it the following day
- Your payment preferences are stored and don't need to be entered every time you list an auction
- You can make a payment during the sell process
- Homepage featured auctions, promote yourself!
- 10 day auctions, gather more bids
- Search for a seller from the search box on the left of the site
- Search Trade Me help
- Sell your car on Trade Me by auction or classified
- Free relists for cars, no auction success fees
- Search for cars by year, price and make
We hope you like the new changes! Please give us your feedback in the message board
