In Germany, there's "Kleinanzeigen", which was "eBay Kleinanzeigen" until it was sold in 2023.
And there's also ebay.de.
And it completely useless
Just a bunch of junk that’s been used for years priced €5 below retail.
There's a fediverse project called Flohmarkt, german for flea market.
fedi.markets is a european instance.
And here's an article about it on wedistribute.org.
Opened it. Title of the page is "None". Interesting choice.
Is payment secure over None?
Currently, there is no 3rd-party payment system involved. We let you decide how to organize payment and shipping / transport.
Oof...
so effectively just a modified version of lemmy lol
Tbh this actually seems like the only viable choice to me.
Without dedicated support staff and fraud prevention like commercial solutions might be able to offer, I don't think online sales are possible in any safe way without simply trusting the other person.
So the platform is best used just for local in person sales (like on a flea market).
I've used forums for this purpose and never had an issue with 3d party payment, however it also had a reputation system, which this seemingly doesn't have. There are also only 17 items up at total in "All", a decent part of which are not real items (like the EU flag up for sale for 8000 billion euro) and services (company selling logo's for 30k with an AI generated image as example).

In the Netherlands we have Marktplaats.nl and Vinted is pretty big here as well.
Facebook marketplace is also fairly active. I go there when for a chance to buy something for way less than it's worth.
People on huuto.net know what a used playstation is worth.
People on facebook, don't.
In Sweden, there are e.g. Tradera and Blocket.
In France it's Le Bon Coin, or Vinted for clothes mostly.
Denmark has dba, den blå avis (used to be a news paper of sorts where you could trade). Owned by ebay. We also have a bunch of other services like Reshopper for everything baby related and gul og gratis which paradoxically is neither gul (yellow) nor gratis.
I know LeBonCoin in France and Wallapop in Spain/Portugal, curious to see what are the others
In Romania, Poland and a few other territories there's OLX.
It's weird that this is the one corporate, monetized online thing that hasn't gone global. Even for car rides Uber is in most markets even if there's a side alternative.
I guess eBay is that, but it's just residual in most places, you mostly get hits from anglophone countries.
There is backmarket for thoses afraid of meeting fellow humans in order to do a transaction.
There is also a big markup on the price.
Bazoš, sbazar, aukro these are the main ones but there are also specific ones like cyklobazar.
Lot of stuff is also going through FB marketplace, sadly.
PS: I have insider info that there will be reworked version of sbazar coming this year.
Dar skelbiu pridėk
There is second hand shops and facebook marketplace is pretty common. In warmer season, we have "brocante" and "vide-grenier" something like a mix btw a garage sale and a local market. I usually put the things I want to give in a box and call my friend to check on it. For close I send a bag to a friend or neighbour, I know they will pick what they want and give the bag to someone else.
In Italy I guess the big one is Subito.it
We have Marktplaats which was bought by EBay in 2004. I personally like Tweakers Vraag & Aanbod for electronics.
