Is Listia Dead? I used to enjoy Listia. Then they changed from credits to something called XNK. I have no idea what that means or how to use it, so I left Listia when it changed. I decided to revisit today, but there is no information on the site as to how to convert credits to XNS, or how to use XNS (which is, enigmatically, called "ink"?). There's nothing relevant in the FAQs, there is no "contact" option, and their Facebook page (which hasn't had a new post in 5 months) doesn't even offer Messaging, nor does there seem to be a monitor or anyone to answer questions. I don't know why they had to go and ruin a good thing!

Give and Get Free Stuff Listia helps you give away things you don't need, earn credits and get stuff you want for free.

Listia has a large selection of items Listia has a large selection of items, the prices are all over the place. You have to pay close attention to the economy. For example Listia sells credits for 27,500 per $1 but to buy gift cards on the site you would be paying around 100,000 per $1. The site has a lot of inflation, too many people with too many credits only buying and not selling which caused all prices to raise over the past years. Used to be 100 credits to a $1, then 10,000 credits to a $1, 40,000 credits to a $1, then finally fixed to 27,500 credits to a dollar by Listia itself. I'll keep using Listia but I only list when I need credits and spend credits quickly so I dont get hit with inflation. Its an okay mix with the other sites I use on a day to day basis like eBay, SwapCaps, and Amazon.

I think it's how you understand and play the game I have always had terrific response from Customer Service, I am sorry for those who have not. Yes, there are those who state they have sent my won auctions but I don't receive the item. I just choose to remember who they are and don't bid on their stuff in the future. I then go to Customer Service just to communicate this quietly. Other times I have gotten exactly what was won. Sometimes it takes a while to receive it but I can't expect everyone with busy lives to drop everything and send it that afternoon. Some sellers state they mail only certain days of the week and we appreciate that. This requires patience in an era when we want everything instantly. I don't understand why I receive some things and not others, unless a sender doesn't write the correct address on the package and it gets lost in the mail or returned to them without the effort to contact me and re-send it. Details, details -- some persons just aren't good at that; I choose to not take it too seriously.

My experience was average My experience was average. Some cases easy to bid on things in some other cases denied to post things that I don't understand the reason why not. Other times people complaining about their shipping material when arrived something that I don't have control when leave my hands. Later Listia gave them the credit and I lost my things. Anyone can say it is my fault to trust them. I am not to fan of Listia.
