There's no single "best" Irish marketplace. The right one depends on what you're selling, who you're selling to, and how much you're willing to pay in fees. This guide compares eight platforms Irish sellers use — DoneDeal, Adverts.ie, Vinted, Depop, Facebook Marketplace, SalesHub.ie, iSold.ie, and Sellinn — honestly, with their real strengths and weaknesses.
| DoneDeal | Adverts.ie | Vinted | Depop | Facebook Marketplace | SalesHub.ie | iSold.ie | Sellinn | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seller fees | €0 for most listings (paid premium options) | Free to list; small success fee on higher-value sales | €0 (buyers pay instead) | 10% in Ireland | €0 | €0 — points-based rewards for renewals/bumps | €0 for private sellers; some paid placement for business categories | €0 — sellers keep 100% |
| Buyer fees | €0 | €0 | €0.70 + 5% buyer protection | €0 | €0 | €0 | €0 | €0 — no buyer charge |
| Categories | Everything (cars, farming, all goods) | Everything (consumer goods focus) | Fashion-focused | Gen Z streetwear & vintage fashion | Everything (local-first) | Everything (electronics, furniture, baby, clothes & more) | Everything (cars, property, electronics & more) | Everything (32 counties) |
| Audience size | Ireland's largest classifieds site | ~850,000+ live ads | 29M+ monthly EU users | ~30M global users | Massive (Meta's user base) | Newer, growing — has a native Android app | Newer, growing | Newer, growing Irish community |

| Owner | Schibsted (Norway) | Distilled Media (Irish, Dublin) | Vinted UAB (Lithuania) | Etsy (United States) | Meta (United States) | Not publicly disclosed | Not publicly disclosed | Irish, independent |
| Best for | Cars, farming, larger items | Established Irish community, varied categories | Trendy fashion volume | Vintage / Gen Z streetwear | Local pickup, items hard to ship | Sellers who want a rewards/points system and an app | Wide category spread, including property | Anything, zero fees, Irish-owned |
If you're not sure which to pick, here's the honest shortcut:
DoneDeal is Ireland's largest online marketplace and the default starting point for cars, farming equipment, property, and larger goods. Founded by Fred and Geraldine Karlsson in Wexford in 2005, it was acquired by Schibsted, a Norwegian media group, in 2011. Most listings are free, with paid premium options for visibility.
Adverts.ie has been a fixture of the Irish online marketplace scene for nearly 20 years. Launched by Boards.ie in 2006 and now operated by Distilled Media (also Irish-owned), it covers virtually every consumer category. Listing and selling is free for regular sellers; only shop/business accounts pay a small per-listing fee.
Vinted is a Lithuanian fashion-focused marketplace that arrived in Ireland in late 2024 and has rapidly become the default for Irish second-hand clothing. Over 29 million monthly active users across the EU. Sellers keep 100% of the sale price; buyers pay a service fee (€0.70 + 5% of item price).
Depop is the Gen Z streetwear and vintage fashion marketplace, owned by Etsy since 2021. Especially strong for one-of-a-kind, branded, and Y2K-era clothing. Important note for Irish sellers: while Depop removed the 10% seller fee for US and UK users in 2024, that change did not extend to Ireland — Irish sellers still pay the 10% commission plus payment processing.
The biggest local-first marketplace by far, thanks to Meta's user base. Best for items you can hand over locally — furniture, white goods, larger objects that are awkward to ship. No fees, but also no platform mediation: scams are common, and there's no formal buyer protection. Use cash on collection and never ship to a buyer who refuses to meet.
SalesHub.ie is a newer Irish classifieds platform covering all 32 counties, free to list with no seller commission. Its standout feature is a rewards/points system: users earn points for creating an account, posting listings, giving and receiving reviews, and referring friends, then spend those points renewing or bumping listings to the top. It also has a native Android app on Google Play, and runs its own set of "where to sell" guides similar to this one.
iSold.ie is a general Irish marketplace covering a wide category spread — cars, property, electronics, furniture, antiques, books, and more — free for private sellers to list, with some paid placement for certain business categories. It also runs a "Deals" section with daily discounts alongside the classifieds listings.
Sellinn is the platform publishing this article, so take this section with appropriate scepticism. We launched in April 2026 as an Irish-owned alternative to the foreign-owned platforms that dominate the market. Zero fees on both sides — no listing fee, no commission, no buyer service charge. All 32 counties, all categories. We're the smallest of the eight platforms in this guide — we don't pretend otherwise.
Most active Irish sellers use more than one platform — and multiplying your reach is the single biggest driver of faster sales. Cars on DoneDeal, fashion on Vinted, furniture on Facebook Marketplace, mixed items on Adverts.ie or Sellinn. Cross-listing the same item across two or three platforms genuinely doubles or triples the eyes on it.
One Sellinn-specific advantage worth knowing: paste the link to a live Vinted, eBay or Depop listing into Sellinn's Sell form and the title, description, price and photos fill in automatically — no retyping, no re-photographing. That makes cross-listing onto Sellinn the lowest-friction option of the six.
Sign up in 30 seconds. List your first item in 60. Zero seller fees, zero buyer fees, all 32 counties. Irish-owned and growing.
