00:04 If you're someone who buys or sells online, you're probably familiar with

00:07 Craigslist, one of the trend-setting online classified sites.

00:10 But there are some alternatives out there.

00:13 It should be no surprise that Facebook lands on the list,

00:16 since it's one of the online giants.

00:17 But its marketplace feature is becoming more widely used.

00:21 Digital Trends says that you'll need to have a Facebook profile first, and

00:24 you can set up your search filters for up to 100 miles away from your location.

00:28 Whether it's through the site or an app, the feature is free and

00:31 lets you put a face to the name, unlike Craigslist.

00:33 Another popular site also has a classified section, and that's eBay.

00:37 Famous for its auctions, Money Talks News says the site does have a classified

00:41 section that caters to selling items locally, with filters to search within

00:45 your zip code and finding free local pickup options.

00:48 However, the site does say that eBay isn't free for

00:51 sellers, with a listing usually costing $9.95 for 30 days.

00:55 Letgo gets praise from Digital Trends for

00:57 being user-friendly with its photo-heavy display.

01:00 It is free to buy and sell, but while you do have to sign up for an account,

01:03 it does mean that you can communicate without having to give your phone number

01:06 to a stranger.

01:07 And there are platforms out there that are more specialized,

01:10 with one of them being Poshmark.

01:11 Money Talks News says this marketplace site is focused on fashion.

01:15 But if you're looking to make some cash on clothes or

01:17 shoes buried in your closet, it's not free.

01:20 The site says Poshmark charges a flat fee of $2.95 for sales under $15.

01:24 And anything over that takes 20%.
