OLX is a digital marketplace app designed to help individuals buy and sell goods with other people. It is free to use, and it seeks to give people an alternative to other costly apps/websites for selling and buying just about anything. OLX is essentially a digital service for posting classified ads, and with the help of its intuitive interface, it's incredibly easy for buyers to find your items for sale and for buyers to locate things they want.

Free Marketplace for All

OLX is available on multiple platforms, but its Android variant seems to be the most useful and bug-free release. The app allows you to post ads based on geographic location, and those who have used other similar marketplace services offered on social media will be familiar with this feature. Ads can have photos, pricing, and a description attached, and a location can be specified in order to only display the listing to relevant shoppers. Upon first using OLX, you'll find that there are listings for just about anything you can imagine, ranging widely from things like children's clothing to collectible trading cards and antiques.

There are a lot of categories and sub-categories available in OLX to really help narrow down where your listing belongs in the database. Listings can also be managed straight from your account section in the app, which is also accompanied by a mailbox feature and favorited items. After using OLX for even a moment, it's easy to see that it was designed with the user in mind.

Great Alternative to Pricy Auction Services

If fees and annoyances from using other services have got you down, look no further than OLX for a refreshing alternative that won't try to sink its hooks into your wallet. The community is still somewhat small, but its features and usability will ensure it keeps growing over time. Best of all, it's completely free to use.
