What Is Listia?

Listia is a new kind of auction site where you bid on other people's stuff using credits instead of real money. We make it easy for users to get rid of stuff they don't need anymore and find stuff they want for free. Listia is a marketplace where people enjoy giving and getting items for free.

Every user gets 100 free credits after signing up and listing an item. The more popular your listing is, the more credits your auction will go for. You bid credits for things you want. So each thing goes to the person who wants it most! Getting more credits is easy, fun and most importantly, costs nothing!
How It Works

1
A user lists something they don't want anymore. (like an old TV)
2
Other users bid on the TV using credits they received for signing up, referring friends, or selling their own stuff.
3
When the auction ends, the user who bid the highest amount of credits wins!
4
The buyer gets the TV, and the seller gets credits to use for something else on Listia...
