Updates to Trade Me Fashion
We’ve just made some changes to the Clothing & Fashion category that makes it easier for you to search for and find your fashion favourites.
You'll notice new department pages (Women, Men, Girls, Boys) and a super-charged sidebar on the left-hand side. This now includes a smarter category selector at the top and the location selector towards the bottom. It’s super easy to use and means that you’ll see more of the listings you want in the main body of the page. Once you’ve selected the category you want and all the relevant filters – size, style, colour, price, location, etc. – just hit the “Apply” button and your results will fill the page. More...
Category change: Mobile phones
We’ve just finished a couple of handy category updates in Mobile phones. You can check out the spreadsheet for a full rundown. The main things we’ve changed this time round include adding new subcategories into Samsung, Sony, Nokia, LG and HTC mobile phones.
As always, please drop us a line if you have any questions about these changes.
Scheduled Maintenance
We’d like to let you know that Trade Me will be offline for scheduled maintenance and upgrades tomorrow morning from 2am to 3am.
All auctions that are due to close between 2am and 3am will be extended by two hours.
We apologise in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.
Auctions not closing earlier tonight
Earlier tonight we experienced an issue on the site which resulted in some auctions taking longer than normal to close. We’re past the worst of it and auctions are now closing as expected with a small backlog to catch up on.
We’ll be nutting out the main cause of this during the night and we're sorry if this has caused frustration for any of you.
Trade Me for iPhone app update
Our clever team of mobile developers have been hard at work creating all kinds of handheld awesomeness, and today we’re excited to unveil our new-look Trade Me app for iPhone.
This update introduces a fresh look and feel, and the following new features:
Notifications
These are a great way to help you stay up to date with your buying and selling activity. For example, if you’re outbid, asked a question, or receive a fixed priced offer, a notification will appear under the new Notifications tab. Over time we plan to add more personalised information to this feature. More...
