While everyone knows about Gumtree and Facebook Marketplace, you might not know about these local classified ads websites that are very popular!
Seeing that many of our Wise Move deliveries come from online purchases off classified ads and with the recent closure of OLX, we thought you might be curious about alternatives.
Whether you’re shopping for a car, vintage furniture, pianos or bicycles… Let Wise Move help you get it home.

If you’re into photography, then you need to check out COutdoorphoto classifieds. This classified ads website is dedicated to buying and selling photography equipment. You’ll find everything from camera lenses to accessories.
The largest classified ads website in South Africa is Gumtree. Since the closure of OLX, Gumtree is the most popular choice. This website has been running since 2005 and is a great place to buy and sell just about anything.
You can advertise your products for free on websites like Gumtree, and Facebook Marketplace. OLX used to be a popular choice but was recently closed in South Africa.
Naspers closed the South African online classifieds website OLX in 2022. The reason was to focus on their property and motor vehicle platforms, Autotrader and Property24.com.
Nothing has replaced the classified website OLX, but there are existing classifieds like Gumtree and Facebook Marketplace that are easy options. Alternatively, try smaller local classifieds to sell and buy online.
When making transactions on classified ads websites, it is important to be aware of scams. Be sure to check the seller’s feedback rating and only deal with sellers who have a good reputation. It is also a good idea to meet the seller to inspect the item before making a purchase. Remember, on Facebook Marketplace there are many scams. A seller can automatically mark items as sold, so the only way to check their validity is through their rating.
There are many great classified ads websites in South Africa that you can use to buy and sell products and services. We love these local niche classifieds because they are a great way to find good deals on specific items.
