If you want to use Leboncoin to sell or buy used goods or services, you must create an account. A simple and free operation that will allow you to take advantage of all the functions of the platform.
Since its creation in 2006, Leboncoin has established itself as an essential classifieds site in France. Open to both individuals and professionals, the platform has evolved a lot over the years by expanding its services and functions. And if it remains a preferred way to sell or buy second-hand goods (vehicles, real estate, furniture, fashion or sporting goods, tools, household appliances, electronic and computer devices, musical instruments, etc.), it also allows to find and offer services (holiday rental, work, courses, etc.) and even jobs.
As before, you can still freely consult the ads published on Leboncoin – there are tens of millions, classified by category. But it is now essential to create an account to get in touch with a seller. And the creation of an account is obviously mandatory to place an ad. This operation, completely free, offers many advantages, for both sellers and buyers. It not only allows you to follow ads but also to save searches, to access the platform’s messaging system, which secures exchanges between buyer and seller, and to receive alerts. There is no reason to deprive yourself, especially since creating an account on Leboncoin is quick and easy, on both computer and mobile. Attention: in all cases, it is essential to have an email address but also a mobile phone number!
