Christchurch woman Kathy told RNZ she became worried when people started sending items she won through Trade Me that were clearly not essential. Trade Me head of marketplace Ivan Fuyala said although members could use TradeMe as normal, they had to ensure they followed the current alert level rules. 'If we were to find out that any of our members were blatantly disregarding the government's alert level guidelines, we would take appropriate action," he said in a statement.
