Hello Yclas friends,
This week we will be looking at Italy, to which the word comes from "Italia" meaning “calf land” due to tribes in the South using the bull as a symbol. Italy is also the largest producer of wine.
There is a legend in Rome that it was founded by twin brothers Remus and Romulus, after being raised by a she-wolf as they were abandoned in the area of Rome. Romulus became the ruler of Rome, after murdering his brother.
Below are the top classified websites in Italy. Please state in your comments and sites that you feel should be listed.

Italy's Classifieds Market in 2026: What Changed
Since this list was first published, buying and selling secondhand in Italy has grown, and several job boards on it have closed. Here is what you need to know in 2026.
A €27 billion secondhand market, increasingly online
According to the Osservatorio Second Hand Economy (Ipsos Doxa for Subito), as reported by Sky TG24 on May 12, 2026:
- Italy's secondhand market was worth €27.2 billion in 2025, about 1.2% of GDP.
- 65% of Italians (about 28.2 million people) bought or sold something used in 2025, up 2 points from 2024.
- 71% of them use online platforms, and online trade was worth €14.7 billion, 54% of the market's value.
- Clothing and accessories are the items most often bought (39%) and sold (49%), followed by books and magazines and home furnishings.
Subito, the general marketplace in our list, turned 18 in February 2026 and reports 26 million monthly unique users (TGCom24). For most private sellers it remains the first place to post an ad.
Job boards: three of our picks are gone
- InfoJobs Italia closed for good on December 31, 2025, and user data was deleted (Alanews, October 27, 2025).
- Monster closed its European operations, including Italy, in summer 2025, after Monster + CareerBuilder filed for Chapter 11 in the US on June 24, 2025 (Eurofound).
- Kelly Services sold its European staffing business to the Italian staffing group Gi Group on January 3, 2024 (Kelly Services), and the old Italian job board link no longer loads.
Selling often? Know the DAC7 rule
Since tax year 2023, the EU's DAC7 directive has required marketplaces that handle payments to report sellers to the tax authority (in Italy, the Agenzia delle Entrate) once they reach 30 sales or more than €2,000 in a year. Being reported doesn't mean you owe tax. It means the tax office can check whether occasional sales have become a business that should be registered (LegaleFiscale). If you sell regularly on platforms with built-in payments, keep records of what you paid for items and what you sold them for.
