Is ebay now the only option now the classifieds are gone from here?

I looked at the new classified section & the newest post is from 5 days ago...

Keep scrolling down past the blue highlighted "boosted" ads and you should see some newer ads.

Pinkbike is supposedly good, though I've never used it.

Aaah- I just browsed the first few on latest ads, I didn't realise there were boosted ads confusing the timeline. Will scroll further.

Pinkbike is(was?) full of 12 yr olds looking to swap an x-box for the latest full DH bike.

If you use the search it might find what you're after, the 'problem' is the new site displays paid for adverts at the top of the list, so what you're seeing is 5 day old paid for stuff ahead of fresh free adverts.

I can see the appeal for ST, there was a story that back when there used to be a voluntary "press here to donate to the forum" button they only ever had 2 donations. So a whole page of paid for advertising is an improvement on that!

Only really a problem as a seller, and its easy enough to ignore.

Some egghead could write a browser extension that hides anything with a blue background surely? 😀

Pink bike is pretty good. I’ve bought and sold on there a few times with zero issues.

Another fan of pink bike, much easier to host pictures too than it is on here and easy to navigate.

Pink bike has always been better than the classifieds on here.

Now they're all 27 year olds looking to swap x-boxes?
