Are your children’s pyjamas up to scratch?
Winter is coming, so it’s time to think about the safety of the clothes that keep our kids toasty and snug during the colder months.
All children’s nightwear is required to have a fire hazard label sewn into the item to warn about the dangers of contact with fire. When we use heaters or light fires, we have to be extra vigilant about the safety and suitability of our children’s clothing.
Starting this April, we’ll be taking a tougher line in this space and where nightwear is identified as not having the correct labels, it will be removed from the site. More...
Heartbleed: No impact here at Trade Me
You may have seen reports about a major vulnerability known as Heartbleed in a popular piece of software called OpenSSL.
We've had some queries from members about the impact on Trade Me. In short, the news is that we are not affected by this bug as we don’t use the vulnerable OpenSSL library.
Note that you should change your password if it’s the same as one you use on a compromised site elsewhere. More...
BlinkMe - A new way to browse Trade Me...?
You may have spotted our recent announcement of BlinkMe, a "new and innovative way to browse Trade Me".

New: Trade Me Fashion
We've been strutting the runway to make Trade Me's most popular category even better. It's not just clothing, it's fashion - Trade Me Fashion!
This is just the start, and these changes are only available on the desktop site for now, but we think you'll like what you see in the new Fashion landing page, with trends and ideas to make your own.
Simple, sleek departments
We’ve reduced the departments in Clothing down to the big four - Women, Men, Girls, Boys - and created a new navigation bar just for Fashion. More...
Payment delays – Labour Day
It’s Labour Day on Monday, so we wanted to let you know there will be a delay with payments if you use phone or internet banking to top up your Trade Me account. This is because banks are closed on public holidays.
If your payment is made after 8:00pm on Friday 25 October, it will arrive in your Trade Me account on Tuesday 29 October.
We’re sorry if this causes you any inconvenience, and we hope you all have a safe and happy Labour Day.
