Is everything really free?

Yes. Listia charges no fees nor does it cost anything to participate. All items listed by Listia, such as Reward Store auctions, also include free shipping. It costs nothing to list a new item or add photos. We encourage everyone who signs up to get involved by giving away items they no longer need, before receiving items for free from other users. However, no giving is required and no purchase is necessary. There is no charge for bidding either! Listia is very proud of the fact that it costs absolutely no money to participate, while providing an exciting new way for people to give and get free stuff.
