A new policy for the sale of cats & dogs
Today we’re announcing the first in a range of measures to promote improved animal welfare when cats and dogs are listed on Trade Me. There are a few moving parts to this, but it will include a new Code of Animal Welfare, a listing cap for sellers which will come into effect on 23 July 2015 as well as some changes to the listing process which will be introduced over the coming weeks and months.
We’ve consulted widely on our policy changes over the past year and have already made some incremental changes along the way.
We have produced the Trade Me Code of Animal Welfare in close consultation with the New Zealand Veterinary Association, the Ministry for Primary Industries, and RNZSPCA. We would also like to acknowledge the input of the New Zealand Kennel Club, The New Zealand Cat Fancy, SAFE and Trade Me members into the policy. More...
It’s Fed Ex Day at Trade Me HQ

What is Fed Ex Day?
Fed Ex Day is Trade Me’s version of Atlassian’s ShipIt Day. It’s a 24-hour event where teams pull themselves together to dream up and complete a project, work furiously to bring their vision to life, and culminates in a no-holds-barred demo in front of the rest of the company.
We think it's a great way for our staff to work on some pretty interesting projects. One such project built during a past Fed Ex Day is our Spotify-based office music player, PlayMe, which is now used in our offices across the country. More...
Site Issue - Resolved
Earlier today we experienced an issue that caused Trade Me to be slow and photos to be unavailable for some members.
We’ve now resolved this issue and the site is running normally. Apologies for the inconvenience.
