Listia Auctions For Free Stuff
Listia is an auction website where you bid on prizes with “credits”. See below how you can get credits.
The idea behind the website is pretty cool, but there are a few flaws. For example.. there are way too many junk items, and not a good interface to find the things you really want. So in the end you end up browsing through several pages to find something good. All items are bought with credits, but shipping and handling it’s not. You need to pay for that. Which makes sense since you can’t go to the post office and say “do you take Listia Credits”? The only other problem I could find with it is that the website can get pretty slow during certain times.
If you buy everything with credits, than when you sell something you get paid with credits, so that you can buy more things with those credits.. it’s a vicious cycle. How do you make money with Listia? You really don’t. It’s just a website where you can trade your junk, the more junk you sell, the more junk you buy and vice-verse. So if your junk doesn’t get many bids, than you won’t be able to buy better junk. It’s a fair trading system.
See how you can get credits below:
1. Sign Up (50 credits)

If your lucky…ile sign up
Listia is by far the best auction site I have seen!!!! You will find so many things on there from baby clothes to gaming systems. I can actually say that this is my favorite site. The more auctions you list and complete with a winner, the more credits you can start racking up. I would love to meet the person who created this site

I have been a daily user/visitor of Listia for over 2 months and love it!! I buy everything with free shipping and pay it forward by selling w/ free shipping. I have won some really awesome stuff!
