About leboncoin
leboncoin is a French classifieds marketplace where individuals and businesses post ads to sell or rent almost anything locally: furniture, clothes, electronics and other second-hand goods, cars and motorbikes, property for sale or rent, holiday rentals, and job offers. Buyers search by category and location, contact sellers through built-in messaging, and either meet in person or, for many items, pay through the site's secure payment and have the item shipped. Posting a standard ad is free for individuals; sellers can pay for options that give an ad more visibility, and professionals such as estate agents and car dealers pay for business accounts. It runs on the web and in apps for iPhone and Android. Launched in 2006, it is one of the most visited websites in France and only serves France, so it is mainly useful to people living there. For clothes specifically, many French users also use Vinted, and eBay suits cross-border selling.
Best for: People in France buying or selling second-hand items, cars or property locally.
