UK-based Classifieds Website

By Darren On January 4, 2010 Under Review

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Treidr.com. All opinions are 100% mine.

When I think of Classified sites, the first that comes to mind is CraigsList.  When looking for a classifieds site in the UK, there are not that many that I can name.  A London-based start-up called Classified Media Corporation Ltd have recently launched treidr.com.  At first, I found the name of the website hard to remember, but it is much like the word ‘trader’ and once I had remembered this, I found it easier to type out the name again.

TreidrWith treidr, UK residents can post free classified adverts to a huge number of categories and, for an extra level of exposure, users can upgrade their listings with optional paid extras.  Each advertisement added to the website can be tracked by the poster and statistics such as number of ad views and hits can be seen within the control panel.

As with any free-to-list website, there will always be people who try and use the service for criminal or immoral reasons.  In order to combat fraud and abuse of the website, treidr has a page dedicated to tips and advice for people when using the site.

Overall, I feel that treidr is a nice looking website that has the ability to become very popular.  At the time of writing this review, there are a total of twenty items currently listed in seven different categories – if the website is to survive, the userbase needs to grow quickly and the website be filled with listings for people to view.

Have you ever used an online classifieds website? What were your experiences?

I think online classified websites are the way to go today. Who looks anywhere esle for items? I only find things or sell things through the internet via classified websites e.g. trading post or otherwise auction sites like ebay. my experiences have always been positive.

Online for most things seems to be the way to go – advertising, selling, buying, accommodation, holidays – you name it you can find it!
