A phishing scam email is being sent around at the moment, targeting Trade Me members. The email is pretending to be a shopping cart purchase that tells the recipient they've purchased a BBQ. This is fake, and it hasn't been sent by us. The purpose of this email is to 'phish' or obtain your Trade Me login details as well as your credit card details. If you receive this email, please send it through to us at abuse@trademe.co.nz and then delete it.

Afterpay minimum spend threshold removed

Written by The Trade Me team in General at 3:00pm, Tue 12 Dec 2017

When we launched Afterpay on 6 September, Afterpay was available on items between $20 – $800. We have since removed the minimum spend threshold of $20.

This allows sellers to offer Afterpay on a wider selection of their products, and buyers of lower value items can take advantage of buying now and paying later.

For more information on Afterpay please check out our help pages.
