AOL launches classifieds website

AOL is launching a new classifieds website that will allow consumers to search through millions of local classifieds listings for every postcode in the UK.

AOL Classifieds has been developed in partnership with Oodle, which operates the largest network of classifieds services in the US.

Sellers are able to promote their listings by leveraging the reach of Oodle’s network of more than 250 partner sites. Posting ads on AOL Classifieds is free.

Chris Spanos, general manager, AOL local and specialty verticals, said: “With the current economic climate, providing consumers with an easy way to buy and sell merchandise and services, or make local connections through classifieds is becoming even more important.

“AOL Classifieds is a trusted outlet that gives sellers an extensive marketplace to reach their audience and gives buyers access to millions of listings.”
