Noticed they've started running TV ads lately. Hopefully that'll get more and more people using this rather than ebay

Surely corsasport has a wide enough range of sills and talent to create a rival to eBay that is actually fair to use and doesn't rip you off at every turn and then freeze your cash if they so wish.

Free now but looks like they are gearing it towards charging in the not too distant future.

I sold all my unwanted house stuff on there & a few car bits. Totally awesome way to flog unwanted stuff, for free & no one fucks you about either.
