¡Hi there! This time we will talk about Mexico and the top classified sites you can find there.
According to tradition, Mexico's name comes from three voices of the Nahuatl language: metztli which means moon, xictli which means center, and co which means place, both literally and metaphorically, it means “In the center of the Moon”.
We have listed the top classified sites, in Mexico. Feel free to comment if there is any site you feel we should list.

How Mexico's classifieds market has changed (2026 update)
Several sites in this list have been sold, closed or redirected since we first wrote it. Here is what we found when we checked each one in October 2026.
- SegundaMano has closed. Adevinta sold SegundaMano and Vivanuncios to Navent Group, the owner of Inmuebles24, in September 2022 (Adevinta). SegundaMano went online in 2012 after decades in print, and it shut down on 31 March 2023. It said visits had fallen 31% and contacts generated 40% (Forbes México).
- Vivanuncios is now mainly a property portal. Similarweb's September 2026 data ranks it #4 in Mexico's real estate category, with about 934,000 recorded visits. Its sister site Inmuebles24 is #1 in that category and the 135th most visited website in Mexico (Similarweb: Vivanuncios, Similarweb: Inmuebles24).
- Several car and job sites are gone. Soloautos.mx now only shows a closure notice. Auto-plaza.com.mx redirects to Mercado Libre's vehicles section, and lalamexico.com no longer loads. Universia's job site redirects to an unrelated sports site, and EmpleoMX shows a suspension notice.
- Mercado Libre is now the default marketplace. Similarweb ranks mercadolibre.com.mx #1 in Mexico's marketplace category (Similarweb, September 2026). In its 2025 results, Mercado Libre reported that its Mexican gross merchandise volume grew 35% year on year. In the fourth quarter, it sold 45% more items than a year earlier (Marketing4eCommerce, February 2026).
In short, Mexico's market has split in two. Mercado Libre and Facebook Marketplace handle everyday buying and selling, while property, cars and jobs have moved to specialist portals. Free general classifieds sites have mostly lost out.
Staying safe when you buy from classifieds in Mexico
Fraud has grown along with these marketplaces. The Consejo Ciudadano para la Seguridad y la Justicia logged 1,219 fraud reports tied to Facebook Marketplace in 2024, up 17% from 1,041 in 2023. Electronics and appliances made up 35% of cases and vehicles 11%. Victims aged 18 to 30 accounted for 45.3% (El Universal, January 2025).
In March 2025, CONDUSEF warned about fake ads for discounted cars or art that pose as real companies. The fraudster asks for an SPEI transfer to a CLABE account that appears to be in the company's name. SPEI checks the CLABE number, not the account holder's name, so the money goes to the fraudster (Proceso).
- Don't send a deposit by SPEI before you have seen the item or vehicle in person.
- If a "company" is selling, find its phone number yourself and confirm its bank details directly. Ask whether you can pay at a physical branch, and get formal purchase paperwork before you transfer anything (CONDUSEF's advice).
- For shipped items, pay through the platform's own checkout rather than by direct transfer. For local deals, meet in a public place and pay when you receive the item.
