Redesigned listing page
We’re excited to announce that today we begin rolling out a new listing page in all General Items categories to more members. Up until now, the new page has only been visible to a small group of members, but over the next week or so we plan to roll it out to everyone.
What’s changed?
We’ve redesigned the listing detail page to make the browsing and buying experience better across Trade Me’s desktop site. There’s a fresh new look with tabbed sections for quick access to the Description and Questions & answers. More...
Video: 24 Hours at Trade Me
Whether you’re browsing during your lunch break, thumbing through your watchlist while on the throne, or finding yourself in a 3am shopping trance, Trade Me is open around the clock and there’s always somebody here to make sure the ship keeps sailing. Join Trade Me’s staffers as they take you behind the scenes of the 24/7/365 operation at Trade Me.
(p.s. What is a ‘nightwalker’? Our nightwalker team are our overnight customer support team, and they make sure our late-night customers can get in touch with us for a yarn.) More...
New: Recommended for You
We’ve recently added a new Trade Me homepage stripe called ‘Recommended for You’.
Recommended for You is a tool that makes recommendations for things you may be interested in based on your activity on Trade Me. We think it’s a cool way to help you discover listings in categories you have an interest in.
At the moment, the new stripe will only suggest listings from our general items categories and won’t include suggestions for Property, Motors, Jobs, Services, Flatmates wanted and Businesses for sale listings. More...
Trade Me Property pricing has changed
As we announced two weeks ago, we’ve made some changes to listing fees and promotional fees for private sellers listing property for sale, for rent or car parks on Trade Me Property.
To find out what fees have changed, please check out the tables in our original announcement, or on our fees page.
Please note: in our announcement two weeks ago, we made a mistake saying that properties for rent under $450 per week will have a listing fee of $99. This should have said properties for rent under $400 will have a listing fee of $99. Properties for rent between $400-$799 have a new fee of $139. More...
Trade Me Jobs pricing has changed
As we announced two weeks ago, today we’ve made some changes to casual and job pack listings on Trade Me Jobs.
Casual listings
The price to purchase a casual job listing has increased from $146.96 + GST ($169 incl. GST) to $154.78 + GST ($178 incl. GST).
We’ve also given casual listers the ability to increase their brand’s exposure by adding their logo, banner images and a short description to their listings. More...
