Understanding Trade Me connection and service problems
For Trade Me users in New Zealand, compare Trade Me auctions, listings and account messages with the public trademe.co.nz website. A response from that hostname does not verify every signed-in account or app operation.
The checker above requests trademe.co.nz from eight configured locations and shows the responses and measurement times. Compare those observations with the actual Trade Me action that failed. A homepage response alone cannot verify an account, app workflow or transaction.
Other checks in shopping & services: The Warehouse NZ status check, Kiwibank status check, Air New Zealand status check. Compare results separately; these links do not establish a shared outage.

Where to report problems with Trade Me
Open Trade Me help / reporting. Use the provider's customer-service or account-help route for the affected product. Sign-in may be required for private account questions.
Details to include in your report
Listing and buyer/seller role, transaction step, device and time; keep payment, identity and delivery details private.
Attach the checker’s downloaded JSON if it helps show the hostname, regional responses and original timestamps. Describe what happened in your browser or app as well. A report sent to WebsiteDown.org is not automatically forwarded to Trade Me.
What to check when Trade Me is not working
These are troubleshooting comparisons, not claims that Trade Me is currently experiencing a particular incident.
Start with the action that failed
Inspect the current bid or purchase before retrying; an ended auction or withdrawn listing is not necessarily a technical outage.
Narrow down the affected service
Identify the merchant and existing transaction before trying again. A seller response, stock change or removed offer is different from platform downtime.
Read the actual checker response
A 403 Forbidden or 429 Too Many Requests means the host answered but refused or limited that request. A timeout gives no HTTP response. Keep those outcomes separate and check the available-region count before treating the result as broad evidence.
How to check if Trade Me is down
- Compare the website response. Open trademe.co.nz in your browser and run the website check. Compare the time and error; a homepage response does not verify every feature.
- Test the feature that failed. Inspect the current bid or purchase before retrying; an ended auction or withdrawn listing is not necessarily a technical outage.
- Check for a different cause. Identify the merchant and existing transaction before trying again. A seller response, stock change or removed offer is different from platform downtime.
- Keep useful report details. Listing and buyer/seller role, transaction step, device and time; keep payment, identity and delivery details private.
A useful comparison for Trade Me
Repeat the same action in a second browser or on another available connection, keeping the item and account the same. Change one thing at a time so the result is comparable. Leave required workplace or school security controls in place.
Follow the website troubleshooting guide for connection checks. Preserve any unsent work before refreshing a form or changing a session.
