OLX

OLX is a global online marketplace and classifieds platform that enables users to buy and sell a wide range of goods and services. It operates through localized websites and mobile apps, allowing users to post free listings and contact sellers directly. OLX Group, the company behind the platform, is part of Prosus, the global technology investor majority-owned by Naspers, and operates in numerous markets around the world.

Founded in 2006, OLX expanded rapidly into Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America, becoming one of the leading online classifieds networks. The platform emphasizes peer-to-peer transactions, with categories including vehicles, real estate, electronics, fashion, home and garden, jobs, and services. In most regions the service is supported by user-generated content, basic search tools, and location-based filtering; revenue is generated through paid promotions, featured listings, and other value-added services.

In the United States, OLX Group integrated its Letgo brand with OfferUp in 2020, consolidating the US market under the OfferUp platform, while OLX continues to operate in other markets. OLX also markets OLX Autos in various regions, a dedicated car-trading service that provides vehicle listings, inspections, and valuations.

The company places emphasis on moderation, fraud prevention, and privacy protections, and it adapts its features to local regulations and consumer practices.
