Category change: Boats

Written by The 'Category Change' team in General at 4:40pm, Thu 30 May 2013

Hi ho sailor, we’re back with more changes to the way we categorise items on Trade Me. There’s a plethora of items on the site at any one time, so it’s important that we have them sorted correctly.

Next week we’ll be making a number of changes to the Boats & marine category, to more accurately reflect the range of marine-related products available. We’ve added a number of new categories and have taken the opportunity to update some of the old category labels as well. We'll automatically move any listings in all categories that are affected into the most logical categories.

We’re aiming to make these changes next Thursday 6 June.  More...

Just a heads up that Trade Me is going to be unavailable between 2:30am and 3:30am tomorrow morning for scheduled maintenance and upgrades. All auctions that are due to close between 2:30am and 4:30am will be extended by two hours.

We apologise in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.

We’re always looking for ways to improve how items are categorised on Trade Me, to better connect buyers and sellers in our marketplace.

As part of that work, we have made a number of changes to the Farming category to better reflect the range of products available. We’ve added a number of new categories and have taken the opportunity to update some of the category labels. In particular, we’ve brought in new categories for:

- Dairy and milking equipment
- Fertilising & pest control
- Hay making
- Livestock health & management
- Pasture & lawn maintenance
- Planting
- Soil cultivation
- Trailers & transportation More...
