Just a heads up that Trade Me is going to be unavailable between 2:00am and 6:00am tomorrow morning for scheduled maintenance and upgrades. All auctions that are due to close between 2am and 7am will be extended by five hours.
We apologise in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.
Brand new in Fashion
We’ve just added the much-anticipated brand selector to the sidebar in the Clothing & Fashion category, so you can search by your favourite fashion brands.

You can now hone in on that favourite item with laser-like precision by using all the attributes that are important to you, including colour, size, style, brand, price and keyword. More...

Check out the spreadsheet for more sweet-smelling details on what we've done.
Safety ratings on Trade Me Motors
At Trade Me Motors we’re constantly working to provide more information to help with buying and selling vehicles.

There are two types of safety ratings in NZ that you will now see on vehicle listings on Trade Me Motors – the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) and the Used Car Safety Rating (UCSR). Both of these rating systems use five stars to tell you how safe a vehicle is. The more stars, the safer the vehicle. More...
Category change: iPads on the move
A quick update from us this morning - we've just moved a range of iPad sub-categories with the goal of making them easier to find.
iPads and their related accessories (cases, components, docks, pens and more!) now all sit with the rest of the Tablets & E-book readers.
Check out the spreadsheet for more detail on what we've done.
