Have you:
• Checked your internet connection?
• Checked the web address? www.traderads.com.au or www.traderads.co.nz
• Cleared all your cookies and cache?
• Restarted your computer?

• Check that Caps Lock is not on
My booking is ‘locked’ and I need to edit it.
• Has the deadline passed? If so, amendments can only be made BEFORE deadline.
• Please call 1300 362 355 for assistance.
Why isn’t my inventory showing all my items?
Your inventory may not be showing all your items for two reasons:
1) The search fields along the top must be empty and not contain any words or numbers.(proceed to clearing all fields and select search)
2) TraderAds shows 10 items per page – this is a default setting. To view more items on the one page of your inventory you can select “Items per Page” drop down box and change it to either 10, 20, 50 or 100 per page.
What happens if I can’t find something in my inventory but it comes up when I search the stock number/TA reference code?
• When this occurs, it means the inventory item has been deleted. You will need to add this item to the inventory with a NEW stock number.
Why isn’t my magazine booking showing up?
• Please call client services on 1300 362 355.
