8:30 am: Technical problems overnight
We had a technical issue on the site which delayed auctions closing properly after 10:20 pm last night. Bidding and the final prices of auctions were not affected.
End-of-auction emails and saved search emails were also delayed.
The problem has now been fixed, and we expect the backlog to clear shortly. We apologise for any inconvenience or confusion this caused.
Stuff added to Trade Me Nav Bar
Today we have changed our top navigation bar to include a link through to Fairfax’s news site, Stuff.
New Car Prices Page
Today we have added 'new car' price information to the Motors section. This allows you to check the price of any new car in New Zealand.

People online
Our "People online" counter skyrocketed today due to a recently released desktop tool. It was not built by Trade Me and we advise members not to use any third party tools as they may interfere with the site and result in the suspension of your membership.
The "People online" counter has been temporarily removed until we can be confident it is accurate.
