TradeMe unveiled their new feedback rating system: http://newsroom.trademe.co.nz/articles/shaking-up-feedback/

and the first time you went to Grabaseat this morning it showed a 'new website' where you could grab a literal seat, before going to their usual deals (which are pretty good today, though there's mostly international ones left): https://grabaseat.co.nz/
