I've been searching around for resources to add to my list of thrifting or freecycling resources online.

I've seen these two:

I have questions regarding each site:

  • Is it frequently used for free items/freecycling?
  • Is it moderated or unmoderated?
  • It seem to be free to post ads for both, but is there a catch?

Are there more sites like this in Germany?

I know that https://de.freecycle.org/ is also available and somewhat active. I've also gotten tips about https://mundraub.org/ (thank you @00@kbin.social) that I've added to the list.

Thank you in advance.

Kleinanzeigen was formerly owned by Ebay. The difference is there is no auction function on Kleinanzeigen, just straight sell/buy/give. Kind of similar to Craigslist. It is moderated (ads need to be approved but there is some automation to this I believe). It is huge so it has lots of things that are free but afaik no special category for it. It is possible to filter and search though. It is completely free to use the site and app. It is mainly for private use but companies can register there as well. Kleinanzeigen has their own payment system which is not mandatory but if you use it (with increased safety - payout after receival) Kleinanzeigen takes a small fee plus a percentage of the price.

I have never used any other site.
