In 1990, the company made it first European publishing acquisition of La Centrale in France.

In 2005, Trader Media East was established comprising the Russian, Baltic, CIS and Eastern European operations of Trader Classified Media.[6]

In 2006, John MacBain began liquidation and selling of the company so he could focus on the McCall MacBain Foundation.[7]
