Online shoppers frustrated by American sanctions that prevent them using eBay now have a local alternative.
Dubizzle, the UAE’s largest free classifieds and community website, is now available in Syria.
It provides users with a portal to buy, sell, or find anything and contains an extensive classifieds section, property for rent/sale, job opportunities, a wide range of automotive listings and a variety of other useful and interactive pages. Dubizzle is free for the end user and employs rigorous processes to help protect users from fraud.
Launched in August 2005, Dubizzle has become the UAE’s leading online classifieds and community portal. Today there are over a million unique visitors and more than 45 million page views monthly. Dubizzle is available in Arabic, English and French, giving each listing three times more viewing opportunity within the Syrian community.
“We’re very proud of the way Dubizzle has grown in the last few years and Syria is a great new market for us. It is a country with a lot of opportunities and we will be reaching out to the Syrian community through our site,” explained Sim Whatley, co-founder of Dubizzle.
