Hi,
Trade Me has a scheduled site outage between 1am-6am NZST tomorrow 22/05/2024. Trade Me listings that are set to close in this period will be extended.
During this time, Tradevine will display a “Down for maintenance” page. Once the outage has completed, the Tradevine website will be re-enabled and will catch up with Trade Me processing in the background.
Regards,
The Tradevine Team
The team has been working on some wider Trade Me initiatives to improve the shipping experience for buyers on the Trade Me website. This uses the detailed shipping information you provide in Tradevine and helps drive purchases.
Here is May’s roundup:
Shopify integration support in Tradevine ends on 30 June 2023. If you want to keep using Shopify with Tradevine, you will need to create your own Shopify custom app. Shopify changed their app store policies and the types of applications they support – affecting Tradevine and third-party systems. This change means we can’t continue to support this integration.
If you want to keep using Tradevine with Shopify, you will need to create your own custom application by 30 June 2023.
For Tradevine Sellers who are currently using this feature please check your email for more information. We also have an FAQ you can read.
If you are looking to update your DYMO software for Windows then you may find it quicker to download from here.
Tradevine will be unavailable from 11:00pm tonight until 1:00am tomorrow for scheduled maintenance.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause you.
Having issues with your Dymo printer?
Google updated Chrome and it caused a small problem with it talking to your Dymo printer.
To fix this follow the steps below…
* With version 42 of Chrome, Google now disables NPAPI which is required to run the Dymo plugin. However, you can manually enable it by typing the following into the Chrome address bar and adjusting the setting:
chrome://flags/#enable-npapi
Click enable, then relaunch now (at the bottom of the page).
* Enabling NPAPI may not be enough. In some instances, you may have to uninstall and re-install the DLS software for the plugin to appear in the plugin list: chrome://plugins/
You can read more at the Dymo page.
In the last week a security flaw known as Heartbleed has become news across the Internet.
The Heartbleed Bug is a serious vulnerability in the popular OpenSSL cryptographic software library. This weakness allows stealing the information protected, under normal conditions, by the SSL/TLS encryption used to secure the Internet. SSL/TLS provides communication security and privacy over the Internet for applications such as web, email, instant messaging (IM) and some virtual private networks (VPNs).
The Heartbleed bug allows anyone on the Internet to read the memory of the systems protected by the vulnerable versions of the OpenSSL software. This compromises the secret keys used to identify the service providers and to encrypt the traffic, the names and passwords of the users and the actual content. This allows attackers to eavesdrop on communications, steal data directly from the services and users and to impersonate services and users. [Heartbleed.com]
Although the security flaw effected a large portion of internet services (estimated at two-thirds of all websites), Tradevine does not use OpenSSL and was therefor not affected.
However, a number of the services Tradevine partners with were potentially at risk.
Each partner has since patched the security flaw, and Tradevine have taken steps (such as updating passwords) to insure Tradevine, and our customers data are completely secure.
For more information on the Heartbleed security flaw, visit the Heartbleed.com website.
Trade Me have just announced a free Gallery and Gallery+ promotion for the Jeans, Pants and Shorts category in Womenswear – see this recent posting for more details.
The good news for Tradevine users is that this has been implemented automatically – you need do nothing to take advantage of this promotion – except perhaps list more jeans and shorts:-)
Our offices will be closed between the 25th December 2012 to the 6 January 2013. During this period the best way to contact us is via email using support@tradevine.co.nz. This address will be constantly monitored and we will get back to you just as fast as we can. As always our support is free and we are happy to assist, so please do contact us.

The Tradevine Team
Tradevine has just made its 1,000,000 listing on Trade Me.
We are all really excited on reaching such an epic milestone since coming out of beta 10 months ago.
The auction in question is a classic(!) 1993 movie ‘National Lampoon’s Loaded Weapon‘. Check it out.
