Small outage this morning
We experienced technical difficulties this morning for about 40 minutes starting at about 9:40am.
Pages may have been slow to load and you may have received errors trying to access certain areas of the site. Our technicians have located and fixed the cause of this problem. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Latest virus - spam emails
A new version of the sober worm virus is in circulation. This virus targets your address book and spams your contacts list. As many people have "@trademe.co.nz" in their address books, some of these emails may look like they are from Trade Me - beware, they are not.
All correspondence from Trade Me will come from mailer@trademe.co.nz or noreply@trademe.co.nz and we don't send attachments. Don't open any attachments from addresses you are not familiar with, and delete any suspicious emails immediately.
Please refer to sites like (http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.sober.i@mm.html) for more information.
Light commercial vehicles category
Today Light commercial vehicles were removed from Trade Me Motors.
Now when listing your light commercial vehicle, you will be able to select the correct body type, such as "Vans" or "Utes".
If you have any feedback please use the "contact us" link.
Scheduled outage on 18th November
Trade Me will be down for a scheduled outage on Thursday 6.30am for approximately half an hour.
All auctions that have a finish time between 6.30am and 7.30am will be extended by an hour. So auctions due to close at 7am will close now at 8am. We apologise for any inconvenience.
