Did you know you can build not only a classifieds website or an auctions website – but a powerful classifieds & auctions combo site – using Ultimate Web Builder? Your members can sell items at fixed prices or put them up for auction, with either the highest or lowest bid winning. (Lowest bid works great for gigs or job postings, where the poster is looking to pay the bidder.)
Build your own Craigslist, Angie’s List, or even a more advanced marketplace with tons of flexible features:
