Free Stuff on Listia

[Saving_spree]

I have been getting a bunch of free stuff on Listia.com for the last month or so, and didn’t see anything on CouponWorld about it. It’s basically an auction site, but no cash is involved, only credits and everyone gives away their stuff for free. You get 100 credits when join, and another 100 if you link you facebook & twitter account. Those credits can be used to get anything on the site you want, for free.

The idea of the site is to get rid of the things you don’t want anymore and get new things that you do want… without using cash. The first 200 credits you start with can be used for quite a few things.

Since I joined, these are the auctions I won by using my first 200 credits, it cost me nothing:
$5 Gift Card to Bath & Body Works – 55 Credits
DVD of Shrek (free shipping) – 35 Credits
New iphone Case – 60 credits
Wii Video Game – 50 credits

I have seen a few other forums mention it, anyone else been using Listia.com? I find it pretty addicting, but fun

Is there any way to get more credits after the initial 200? I saw another post about a similar site but didn't quite understand how it works. And do you have to link a credit card/Paypal account to join even if it's not being charged? Sounds great to me I'd love more info TIA

Yes please tell us more about it. It sounds like fun.

i went to the site and it looks like you get credits for listing auctions of your own for stuff you want to get rid of. lol How Do I Get Credits? - Listia.com

Lots of ways to get credits, besides just listing stuff you don't want anymore. Here is a list:

I joined, am hoping to list some goods soon. Seems user friendly, as long as the seller sends the goods.

That's the nice thing about Listia, and why it's better than a craigslist set up, the admin oversees it, so if you don't get your item, you'll get your credits back and the other person will get negative feedback.

Thanks! Can’t wait to give it a shot- since I have seen my Craigslist selling FALL HARD.

Just for the fun of it, I am going to join. Should I give someone the referral, or do you lose your 50 points pop up that come up when you're not a member
and it tells you to join and get more points?
