I am a collector of certain goods and I ocassionally check 2nd hand sites in countries across Europe.
I know Netherlands has Marktplaats
A lot of countries are starting to use Vinted now within Europe
Germany has Kleinanzeigen
Scandinavian countries have Tradera
Finland has Tori
Spain/Portugal/Italy = Wallapop
France has leboncoin
Belgium/ france has 2de hands.
Am I missing some?

In Ireland, there is Adverts.ie and Done Deal. A lot of people use Facebook marketplace as well, and for second hand clothes there is Vinted and Depop
I would say subito.it is the most popular in Italy, although I think Vinted is taking over for non-clothing items as well
Austria – willhaben.at
Hungary – jofogas.hu, vatera.hu
And of course Facebook Marketplace.
I would say here in Portugal the most used is definitely not wallapop, but most likely OLX and Facebook marketplace
I’m in Spain and have found milanuncios to be more useful than wallapop.
I don’t think there’s anything ‘local’ for the UK anymore, really.
Depop or Vinted for clothes.
Facebook Marketplace or eBay for everything else.
Auto Trader or PistonHeads for cars.
In the Uk the Ebay probably has most marketshare…we need a decent Euro wide replacement for that.
I have used Gumtree a couple of times in the past.
For Bosnia and Herzegovina most definitely OLX (mainly still colloquially called pik.ba or pik in conversation bc olx acquired them some years back).
It is the one platform for buying and selling literally anything – clothes, cars, houses, your grandma’s old sewing machine, animals…you name it really :D.
Ricardo.ch
But honestly Facebook Marketplace is more effective.
Just to point out Scandinavia has Tradera but in Denmark DBA has to be the most used one.
Norway has Finn
it’s not just for secondhand stuff though – it’s much bigger than that
Equinor and Finn basically make up the entirety of the Norwegian economy
Poland: OLX, and to a point Allegro although Allegro is more for new stuff
ss.lv in Latvia for sure used to be the number 1 place, still is, but FB Marketplace has gained popularity.
Blocket is probably the largest one in Sweden. Tradera is more specifically for auctions.
In croatia njuskalo is the second hand marketplace for everything from cars to clothes and old coins. For clothing specifically, there are several pages that rise occasionally and then fizzle down after some time. Right now, vinted is up and coming
For Russia it’s Avito, which used to be owned by OLX before the war.
For purely second hand stuff, OLX
But Allegro is a lot bigger, and is also sorta like Amazon, with a lot of businesses selling through it too
Facrebook, Gumtree for local, eBay and Vinted for post
bazos.cz and aukro.cz
Denmark:
Austria has WillHaben (lit. WantToHave).
It’s used for everything – toys, tech, clothes, …, cars, apartments, jobs.
Freakin OLX is everywhere. Romania, too.
Before, okazii.ro used to be the default, but it’s mostly forgotten about now. Still good for old books and antiques, tho.
For France I’d say Le bon coin and Vinted. Vinted used to be only for clothes but now that they are expanding you can find pretty much everything on it. However as the system is based on delivery, if you’re looking for furniture or bigger items, Le bon coin is is the right place (lots of pick up at location without delivery option).
There are some smaller sites as well, but the only really relevant online marketplace for used (and a lot of new) products in Norway is finn.no.
That’s where everybody sells everything, like houses, cars, pets, furniture, clothes, cutlery, books, dvds etc. etc.
bazos.sk in Slovakia
I think OLX is quite popular in Romania and Bosnia.
2ememain.be in Belgium
leboncoin.fr in France
njuskalo.hr in Croatia
ricardo.ch and anibis.ch in Switzerland (don´t know which is more popular maybe it depends on the item)
Is what I can think of from other countries.
Vinted for sure 🇱🇹 and its a lithuanian business too which is really cool. 🙂

Huuto.net is the 2nd biggest one in Finland but much better than tori.
Denmark has DBA and guloggratis. But they both seem to decline. They are old, clunky, so many old “posts” that haven’t been pulled, and pretty much secondhand sale newspapers what went online.
I am still on Facebook mainly for Marketplace. Seems to have the biggest amount of stuff, broadest selection, and old posts get pulled.
In Denmark, the most popular is DBA, which stands for “Den blå avis” (The Blue Newspaper). It started out as an actual newspaper, but instead of news it contained endless advertisements for consumer goods, later the physical newspaper itself became expensive and DBA.dk became a reality and has since faced competition from, among others, “Gul og gratis” and FB marketplace. But all exist with great success today, with DBA.Dk being the most well-known and popular.
