Update to the listing process

Written by The Trade Me team in General at 5:30pm, Thu 10 Dec 2015

From today, members will be expected to pay for listing fees upfront during the listing process, rather than letting their account go into debt. We will be rolling this out to different categories across the site in stages.

Top Sellers and members with auto-billing can continue to create listings and have their account go into debt.

A new way to browse: Car parts, Car stereos & more

Written by The Trade Me team in General at 12:00pm, Wed 9 Dec 2015

We’ve just made a change to the way search results are displayed in the Car parts & accessories, Car stereos, Motorbikes > Parts for sale, and Motorbikes > Helmets, clothing & footwear categories.

Starting today, when you’re in these categories you’ll see a new visual page layout when searching and browsing. The appearance of each listing depends on an improved range of promotional products.

Check out the new look by heading over to the Car parts & accessories, Car stereos, Motorbikes > Parts for sale, and Motorbikes > Helmets, clothing & footwear categories. More...

What’s changed?

Shipping trial under way

Written by The Trade Me team in General at 5:00pm, Tue 8 Dec 2015

We’ve kicked off our trial of a new shipping service for a selection of sellers on Trade Me. It’s part of an exciting but complex initiative to make shipping on Trade Me easier and faster, with great prices. As a first step, working with the smart folks at Temando, we’ve built the ability for sellers to get courier quotes from two reputable companies with good coverage across New Zealand: Courier Post and Fastway.

Selected sellers can book a courier from within ‘Sold items’ on their My Trade Me page and the courier will collect their items.

We’re just getting started but it’s great to have something out in the wild – we’re looking forward to the feedback, getting more sellers involved and expanding the functionality. The aim is for the new shipping option to be available to all Trade Me sellers over the next few months. More...
