Trade Me Purchases Tradevine

We’re delighted to announce that Trade Me has entered into an agreement to purchase Tradevine. This will see the Tradevine team join the Trade Me team within the next few weeks, but it won’t spell the end of the Tradevine brand as it will continue to operate under the Trade Me banner.

Most importantly, the heart of the Tradevine operation will not change. We will remain in Christchurch and it is business as usual for us. You will continue to deal with the same team who will provide the same great Tradevine service you enjoy today. Apart from a change in email addresses over the next few weeks, you shouldn’t notice any changes.

We’re excited about the future, and we think the ability to strengthen the integration between Tradevine and Trade Me will be fantastic for our clients.

Auctionitis Migration

Today, Auctionitis released the news that they will cease supporting Auctionitis and Tradar effective 1st July.  We have agreed to help Auctionitis customers with a migration to Tradevine should they choose to accept our offer outlined below.

 If you are a customer of Auctionitis, we will honour all current subscription agreements and offer Tradevine free of charge until your next renewal period.  We are working very closely with the team at Auctionitis and we’ll all be doing our utmost to make the migration process as smooth as possible.

If you have any questions, feel free to email us at support@tradevine.co.nz

100 000 Trade Me listings and $2 million of sales processed by Tradevine!

Over the weekend, Tradevine achieved 2 significant milestones on behalf of our users:

  • the 100 000th Trade Me listing
  • $2 million worth of sales orders

We are really pleased with this continuing validation of our service and it is great progress considering we only released the Tradevine application a few months ago.

We’d like to really thank our Users for their valuable contributions and feedback to date. It’s great working with you all and we’ll continue to roll out new features and enhancements based on your requirements.

Xero Maintenance Sunday 13th May @ 4am

On Sunday 13th May Xero will be performing system maintenance.  It is scheduled to start at 4am and last up to 2 hours.  You can read more  on the Xero site here.

If your Tradevine account is linked to Xero this may mean that there are delays in processing invoices during this time.  Once the Xero update is complete Tradevine will automatically process the delayed invoices.

Starship – Staff CharityMob

We all have community responsibility such as preserving the environment and supporting community causes.

So we, the staff at Tradevine have got together and raised $500 for Starship Children’s Health. We wanted to help ensure that Starship remains a world class medical facility for all of New Zealand’s children by supporting their current initiatives.

Starship is a fabulous cause so we approached our CEO to see if our company would match our donation. Our company has agreed to not only match our staff contribution but to potentially double it!

Here is where you come in… 

To help us raise another $1000 for Starship simply ‘like’ our facebook page and for every like we get (up to 500) our company has agreed to donate $2.00.

With a simple click below you can help us raise another $1000 for Starship! Spread the word!
