Hello, hello, hello
Hello from Trade Me headquarters, down on the Wellington waterfront.
As you’ll have seen earlier on, we made some tweaks to our Site Announcements page today. Along with this new look, we’re also kicking off a bunch of posts about different issues, initiatives and ideas that we think might be of interest to Trade Me’s members (and visitors swinging by our site) as up until now we’ve never really had a place to put this stuff.
The hardcore announcements will still be made in a straight up manner – this won’t change. But what this new Site Announcements page gives us is the chance to share a little bit more of what is going on at Trade Me. So, look out for posts on things like: More...

We’ve also added images so you can see what we’ve changed. For example, this is what the old page looked like:

On The Job videos
Trade Me Jobs has a new video series called On The Job, which follows four Kiwis as they hunt for work with help from Trade Me Jobs and a team of experts. Give them your support, and pick up some job-hunting tips along the way!
8:55pm: Credit card payments problem
Our payment providers are experiencing technical difficulties which are causing some credit card transactions to fail. If your credit card is declined please try again shortly.
We apologise for the inconvenience.
Problems with Auctions Closing
We had a technical issue on the site this evening which delayed auctions closing properly between 8.15 and 9.45 pm. End-of-auction emails were also delayed. The problem has now been fixed, and we expect the backlog to clear over the next half hour. Bidding and the final prices of auctions were not affected. We apologise for any inconvenience or confusion this caused.
