The Movember Foundation challenges Kiwi men to grow moustaches to spark conversation and raise funds for the Cancer Society, Mental Health Foundation and Movember's Global Action Plan.

Keep an eye out for Movember-inspired listings onsite, or donate to the Trade Me crew doing their bit for this hairy cause.  More...

Redesigning the listing page

Written by The Trade Me team in General at 5:00pm, Thu 13 Nov 2014

We’re always looking for ways to make the browsing, buying and selling experience better. A couple of recent examples include the recent introduction of the Shopping cart, redesigned Clothing & fashion category, and the revamped My Products.

We've also set our sights on refreshing the listing details page. It’s been a while since this page was designed, and it’s time it had a facelift. The feedback stars have also been redesigned. It’s important we meet current web design standards, both to be hip but more importantly to make sure we're giving users a great experience.
