Listia: Get & Give Away Free Stuff Online

Listia is an auction site for free stuff, which makes it really easy for people to give away items they don’t use and get things they need. The site has its own currency “credits” which can be accumulated by listing items, referring friends or be bought for real cash (10 credits for $1). Every user gets 500 free credits at sign up.

Here is a short explanation on how Listia works:

  1. Lister lists item the wants to give away.
  2. Other users bid their credits on it.
  3. The highest bidder gets the item.
  4. The credits are automatically transferred to the lister’s account.
  5. Lister can use the earned credits to get stuff he needs form other users.
  6. Users may also donate earned creadits to the charity of their choice.

Ok, after I listed an item, my balance jumped up to 500 credits. So, they give the rest 400 credits after you list an item on auction. :)
