  Shoplist - Facebook meets eBay

  Introducing shoplist.com.au, launched in December 2009; it is the first Australian social trading site to hit the online market space.

  The site was developed by 25 year old Melbourne boy and internet trading whiz kid, Dave Kasriel & provides a portal to trade online easily (like eBay), but has the added unique advantage of providing greater transparency between the trading community by allowing for personalised interaction between users (like Facebook). Best of all, it's FREE to join, there are no hidden fees or limits & loyal users are awarded points.

  Why not get on there and sell your uni books or something you've been meaning to get rid of for ages - what a great way to try it out!
