Europeans, what are the second hand / marketplaces platforms in your country?

In Germany, there's "Kleinanzeigen", which was "eBay Kleinanzeigen" until it was sold in 2023.
- eBay sold it off? :O
  
  Yeah, it's now owned by Adevinta who also owns many of the other sites listed in this post, like Le Bon Coin, Marktplaats etc.
- 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.
  
  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).

  so effectively just a modified version of lemmy lol

In the Netherlands we have Marktplaats.nl and Vinted is pretty big here as well.

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.
  
  It has gone global but not in branding. If you search some of the names mentioned in the comments here, you´ll find that many are owned by a single company.
- 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.
  
  Both LeBonCoin and Wallapop have shipping integrated into the platform. Of course some sellers turn it off which is annoying but you can do most things without meeting a human.
  
  Yes, I never used Backmarket due to that. For "corporate" second hand, there is CashConverters and WeBuy

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.

For Finland: tori.fi (I guess most popular nowadays) and then huuto.net, which is more ebay style I think.

Bazoš, sbazar, aukro these are the main ones but there are also specific ones like cyklobazar.

In Sweden, there are e.g. Tradera and Blocket.

In France it's Le Bon Coin, or Vinted for clothes mostly.

We have Marktplaats which was bought by EBay in 2004. I personally like Tweakers Vraag & Aanbod for electronics.

Skelbiu.lt (I publish, in context I sell) pretty good moderation actually reads reports and deletes them in hours offer postage have bought my 3d printer, wheel, oculus rift and etc.

Lithuanian here.
Eneba for gaming related stuff
Vinted for clothes and accessories
- Dar skelbiu pridėk
