50 cent gallery listings
For a limited time, gallery listings will cost only 50 cents (usually 95 cents). Gallery listings make your items stick out in the category lists and increase the bidding on your auction.
Note: Trade Me will give sellers 24 hours notice of the end of this special. Notification will be made on the annoucements page on Trade Me.
Sell your car for $10
Until mid-day on Tuesday 28th of October you can list your car, boat or motorbike for just $10 (normally $19.95). You can also re-list your vehicle for free if it doesn't sell.
Wanted Ads
From 1 November, you will no longer be able to list Wanted Ads on Trade Me. Less than 0.5% of listings placed on Trade Me are Wanted Ads and we believe it is of greater value for us to focus our technology efforts on continued improvement to our Auctions and Buy Now listings.
Wanted Ads placed before November 1 will expire once they have seen out their listing time. You will not be able to re-list Wanted Ads after 1 November.
We recommend traders wanting to buy items subscribe to the relevant category within Trade Me. This will ensure you are sent regular emails of new category listings.
Mail delays for Xtra users
Xtra continues to have problems receiving mail. If you use Xtra then be advised that there will be delays in receiving mail notifications. See XTRA:Help
Site improvements
You can now choose the time and day that your auction closes. When listing your auction you will now have the option to select the time and day you want your auction to close - this feature costs 95 cents. Note that the maximum listing length will still be 10 days.
We have also made some changes to the relist feature. At the end of your auction you can now select to "relist the same item" or to "list a completely new item". This will avoid confusion if selling more than 1 identical item.
