Back to the future for Daily Deals
We hate delaying any new initiative, but sadly we won’t be kicking off the 1-day powered Daily Deals on 1 November as planned.
Delivering a strong consumer-centric mix for Daily Deals is critical and we’re not quite there yet. As a result we will continue with the existing form of Daily Deals, and hold fire on the relaunch until next year. Apologies for any inconvenience.
Meanwhile if you’ve got some quality products in good numbers that you can offer to our members at a great price we’d love to hear from you. Just flick us a note through the Daily Deals contact page.
Trade Me Jobs Bounty Hunter
We’ve just launched a new section on Trade Me Jobs called Bounty Hunter which should help job advertisers find the people they’re after.
Through Bounty Hunter, you can forward Bounty Hunter job listings to friends who are suited to the positions. If your friend gets the job and they mention you referred the job to them, you could receive $1,000.

We’ve updated 5.2b of our Terms and conditions to read:
Payments to your Trade Me account of an amount less than $10 may incur a $2 handling fee payable to Trade Me unless the payments are made with a credit or debit card, in which case you may make a top-up of between $5 and $10, as may be required to return your balance to $0, without incurring a fee.
This update reflects changes we’ve made to payments into Trade Me accounts.

A change to Daily Deals from 1 November
We have good news for members who like a great deal - as of Tuesday 1 November, the Daily Deals on our homepage will be powered by the team at 1-day, New Zealand's largest daily deals site.
There will still be three deals every day running from 10am for 24 hours, or until sold out. The deals offered by 1-day on the Trade Me homepage will be totally different from the deals appearing on 1-day, and will be sourced with our members in mind.
1-day will be responsible for sourcing the deals, customer service, and delivery of all products available through the Trade Me Daily Deals channel. More...
Limited time promotion - Gallery Plus
Gallery Plus is a limited time promotion we’re running where you get the benefits of Gallery the first time you list an item, plus free Gallery for the next two relists if the item doesn’t sell. All for 65c.
Even though an item is almost three times as likely to sell when it is listed with Gallery, sometimes you don’t find that perfect buyer the first time round. Why not increase your chances of getting the price you want by using Gallery Plus?
Now, when you sell an item, you get to choose your Gallery option:
- Gallery Plus, 65c (or 30c for books and CDs) for Gallery on the initial listing and your next 2 relists, if your item doesn’t sell or
