Item 8.01.                            Other Events.

On May 11, 2009, MercadoLibre, Inc. (the "Company") disclosed in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q that the Company received notice that the Consumer Protection Agency in Venezuela (“Instituto para la Defensa de las Personas en el Acceso a los Bienes y Servicios” or “INDEPABIS”) had temporarily suspended new car listings on the Company's tucarro.com.ve website due to an investigation by INDEPABIS over car dealers’ listings on the website.
 
On May 26, 2009, the Company received notice that the suspension had been lifted. The Company immediately restored full functionality to the website and tucarro.com.ve is once again allowing users to add new car listing on to the site.
 
There is no further administrative proceeding pending against the Company with respect to this matter at this time, however we cannot assure that proceedings will not be initiated in the future.
