Macrons (and other accents) on your name

Written by The Trade Me team in General at 11:30am, Thu 5 Oct 2017

This week we added the ability for members to include macrons (and other accents) when entering their first and last names. You can update your name from the contact details section on your My Trade Me page.

Our end goal is to have Trade Me fully support unicode across all data we store and we’ll continue to work towards this.  More...

Issue with Hotmail emails

Written by The Trade Me team in General at 10:00am, Tue 3 Oct 2017

We're aware of an issue affecting some members who use a Hotmail email address. This may cause a delay in some emails being delivered and received.

We are currently working with Hotmail to resolve this. If you aren't receiving your Trade Me emails, we'd recommend using your My Trade Me page to stay on top of your trades, or setting up a temporary Gmail email address.

We'll update this announcement when we have an update.
