Upcoming update to terms to include Afterpay

Written by The Trade Me team in General at 4:30pm, Mon 31 Jul 2017

The Afterpay terms for Trade Me sellers will come into effect on 28 August 2017 and we’ll launch Afterpay to buyers shortly afterwards. If you’re a seller and interested in offering Afterpay on your listings, please take a look at the terms.

We’ll also be making some Afterpay-related changes to our standard terms and conditions, privacy policy and the Buyer Protection policy which will come into effect on 28 August 2017.

SafeTrader has closed

Written by The Trade Me team in General at 10:30am, Mon 3 Jul 2017

Today we switched off our escrow payment service SafeTrader.

Very few members still use this service and we want to focus our efforts on developing better products for our members. Buyer Protection, Ping and Pay Now are just some of the newer products we have that provide safety for all members when buying or selling items on Trade Me.

If you're still using SafeTrader to complete a trade then please get in touch with us, so we can help you finalise this.
