Describing itself as an online classified ads page, fans of pre-loved or secondhand stuff have their own online store. Carousell’s main objective is to sell items easily with just a simple post. Started by three Singaporeans in 2012, the big online store has now over 250 million listings and counting.

Like we said, most sellers on Carousell are reboxing — meaning most of the items are secondhand. Their listings include everything from properties to cars, and used smartphones. This is because of their recent merger with OLX Philippines, an online marketplace founded in 2006.

Carousell has a “community-centric marketplace” which means buyers can chat sellers and negotiate on items, for an easier and personal experience. Bank transfer, mailing/courier, cash on delivery and meet-ups are some of the payment and delivery options this company offers.

They also recently integrated Caroupay which lets buyers pay directly within the app using DBS PayLah!, credit or debit cards.
