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

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.

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.

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!

With effect from today Trade Me have changed the Pay Now commission rate for Top Sellers.

Previously the amount was 0.95%, the revised rate is 1.65%.

If you use Tradevine and Xero It is important to change the setting in Tradevine to reflect the new amount.

Go to ‘Settings -> Selling Channels’ and select your Trade Me selling channel.  Then open the ‘Payment and Shipping’ section and adjust the Pay Now commission field.

If you have any questions then please contact service@tradevine.co.nz

This is surely the Retail event of 2012 and Tradevine will be there! Retail Australasia is being held at the Aotea Convention Centre on the 23rd and 24th May and we’ve taken an exhibition stand with Brightstar.  What a fantastic opportunity to meet and hear from New Zealand’s leading retailers!
