Our marketplaces help everyone and everything find new purpose. We believe every house can be home, every person has a role to play, and every object can live a second (or third, or fourth!) life – they only have to find their matching need. Our marketplaces create these matches, supporting local communities and building a sustainable future.

Just as our brands are founded on connections between people, we are a people-first organization. We create networks of talent who have matching needs across geographies and disciplines, working together toward our common purpose.

We serve people where they live, acknowledging what’s special about every culture and every place. That’s why we develop leading local brands which form an integral part of life for our users, with an average of 1.5 billion visits to our sites every month. And, thanks to the “second hand effect” of buying and selling used goods, our marketplaces promote sustainability and protect the environment by reducing greenhouse emissions.
