Online Classifieds are More Locally Focused with iSell
Websites that serve as an online marketplace for consumer-to-consumer goods are extremely prevalent and only increasing in popularity, with sites like Craigslist in the forefront. These personal classified sites allow anyone, anywhere in the country to sell anything they like or search for any item of any kind while avoiding retail prices. iSell is a similar site, but there are a few key differences between how it works and the way a website such as Craigslist functions. Like others, it maintains a stringent focus on decentralization, which in its case simply means not having any one central location, company affiliation, specific product, or the like. Also like similar online classified ad platforms, it is free to post an ad, though there is a paid option that adds some perks for users.
While iSell is a website accessible from any Internet-connected computer, it features tech support for both Android and iOS-enabled smartphones or tablets. Some of the differences in its function are as basic as how you can view the front page. iSell gives you the choice to view and sort ads as a list, a “grid” of photographs with descriptions that you can click to see the full ad, or a map view of where you can locate the items for sale. Also built into the site is a search field that allows you to filter results very specifically even for “items” such as houses for sale. You can set a minimum and maximum price range to filter as well as defining desires parameters for square footage and number of bedrooms. Of course, everything from children’s toys to automotive supplies or cars to antiques to pets and pet supplies is also available on the site. All categories are labeled, divided, and sub-divided in a menu on the front page and include services, jobs, and announcements as well as items for sale.
Just as with Craigslist or other sites where you may end up meeting someone in person, taking the necessary Internet security precautions is important when using iSell. This includes taking great care with what personal information you give out and what kinds of details you reveal about yourself. One other major difference between iSell and sites like it is that it focuses on being as local as possible in a way that others do not. On Craigslist, for instance, a user can search a specific city in which he or she lives as well as clicking on any number of other cities that it services. Conversely, iSell begins within a precise range of your particular location that you can narrow or expand so that you are searching very specifically from where you are located, so you can avoid the disappointment of clicking on an ad only to find that an item is actually in a city that, while nearby, is out of your range. For those who truly want the full benefits of a large community of online buyers and sellers close to home, iSell provides the means.
