Free accommodation website for Cantabrians is live
Back on 6 May we started building a free website to help Cantabrians find Auckland accommodation for Rugby World Cup 2011.

Change in banking details
Trade Me's bank account details for member payments are changing on 1 June. For the vast majority of members there will be no impact and the account number will automatically update when you credit your account as per the usual payment options.

We experienced some issues with credit card payments tonight which resulted in members being unable to credit their accounts between 6:30pm – 7:01pm. These issues were NZ wide and affected all credit card and eftpos transactions. Our payment providers worked hard to resolve the issues and all members should now be able to credit their accounts.
