What is Firebid?

An alternative to eBay and Facebook Marketplace — sell without the fees, buy without the algorithms.

For Sellers

Firebid is an alternative to eBay and Facebook Marketplace, where you can sell without the fees and algorithms — a level playing field for all. If you're a seasoned eBay seller, it doesn't take a rocket surgeon to see that the online conglomerate has "evolved". It's no longer a level playing field — it's a battle of who's willing to make the least profit. Firebid puts the fun back into online trading.

  • A simple monthly membership. No listing fees (unless you want them), no final-value fees, no slice of postage, no processing fees. You take payment directly from your customer — we don't take a cut.
  • No payment data, no sensitive data, no contact info stored by us. How you transact is up to you: meet up, cash, PayPal, EFT — your call. We don't want to know about your finances.

For Buyers

  • No pesky ads for women's lingerie while you're looking for a VH SLE Commodore. You'll never see advertising in your search results. No Temu or AliExpress junk — just items listed by fellow Aussies.
  • Build a community of like-minded buyers and sellers. Ask trusted sources for advice, add allies to your Circle and unlock items only available to you. The possibilities are endless.
  • The onus is on you to use your most powerful God-given tool: gut instinct. If a deal feels too good to be true, it is. Use the same intellect you'd use on Marketplace — if you smell a rat, report them and stop communicating. Scams do happen. We connect you, we don't govern you. If you want your hand held, go to eBay.
