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.

Publish this as your safety page and link it from every listing and message screen; add your own payment and reporting details.

BUY AND SELL SAFELY ON [SITE NAME] Most people on [Site name] are genuine. These simple habits protect you from the few who are not. MEETING IN PERSON: - Meet in a busy public place in daylight, such as a shopping centre or outside a police station. [Add local safe-trade spots if you have them.] - Tell a friend where you are going, or bring someone with you. - For large items at a home, do not go alone, and keep valuables out of sight when buyers visit yours. - Check the item fully before you pay. Test electronics, and check that serial numbers match any paperwork. - For vehicles, see the registration documents and check the item is not reported stolen or under finance where your country allows. PAYING AND GETTING PAID: - Best for in-person deals: pay or get paid on the spot, once you have seen the item. - [If your site has payments:] Pay through [Site name]'s checkout. Your money is held until you confirm you received the item. Payments made outside the site are not covered. - Never pay in advance by gift cards, wire transfer, money transfer services or crypto to someone you have not met. - Sellers: do not hand over an item until the money is in your account. A screenshot or an email "confirming payment" is not proof. - Be careful with cash for large amounts; consider a bank transfer you can see arrive before handing over. SIGNS OF A SCAM: - A price far below what the item usually sells for. - The other person cannot meet, is "abroad" or wants to use a courier you have never heard of. - They send you to a payment link or website that is not [Site name]. - They overpay and ask you to send back the difference. - They ask for codes sent to your phone, your passwords or ID photos. - They push you to decide quickly or move the chat off the site. PROTECT YOUR DETAILS: - Keep chats inside [Site name] messages until you are ready to meet. - Never share your account password or verification codes. [Site name] will never ask for them. IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG: - Stop contact and do not send more money. - Report the listing or user with the "Report" link, or write to [contact email]. - If you lost money or feel unsafe, contact your bank and the local police.
