• Auction-Based Model: FleaBid operates on an auction-based model, where sellers can list items for auction and buyers can bid on those items during designated auction events. This dynamic bidding process adds excitement and engagement to the buying and selling experience, distinguishing FleaBid from platforms that primarily facilitate direct sales.

• Charitable Giving Integration: FleaBid incorporates a charitable component into its platform, allowing sellers to donate a portion or all of their sales proceeds to local NGOs. This philanthropic feature encourages users to give back to their community while decluttering their homes and monetizing unused items.

The platform provides guidance and support throughout the transaction process, minimizing risks and facilitating smooth transactions for both sellers and buyers.
