I've gotten a lot of great things from Listia. Things I would have probably paid a lot of money for on ebay, so in that respect, I love the site. It gets expensive giving out free shipping when listing your own auctions, but I think the costs I've paid for shipping are kind of an exchange for the cool stuff I've received. Now, there IS a ghetto section of Listia that makes me cringe. Almost everything in the 'Digital Delivery' section is ridiculous. They should only allow gift cards. Period. I've seen what looks like 16 year old girls listing 'PICS OF ME' and crappy wallpapers and recipes you could get from google in three seconds. It's really creepy and makes me ashamed to share the site with others.

Hello Lauren E.,
Thank you for comments and feedback. We are always focusing on improving our community and positively grow our site. The majority of the auctions on Listia are great items, but there are times when certain auctions may not add great value to our site and its users. We have always strived to maintain a quality site and will continue to do so. As announced on November 3, our rules on Digital Delivery items have changed. You can read all about it here:
http://blog.listia.com/2014/11/03/rule-changes-for-digital-items-2/
In short, digital items that are are no longer allowed are:
- E-books and PDFs, including instructions, recipes, how-to guides, etc
- All other types of digital media (photos, music, text, etc) regardless of copyright ownership or resale rights
With this rule change, you should no longer see the “PICS OF ME”, wallpapers and recipes that you referred to. If you do, you can always flag the auction and someone will take care of it.
Thank you again for the feedback and for being an active member. We hope that your experience on Listia will continue to be a good one!
Sincerely,
Tom
