Build a Classifieds Site Like Sahibinden

Building a site like Sahibinden means building a classifieds site where people sell their home, car, phone and unused items by posting listings. On a site like Sahibinden the platform is usually not a party to the sale but the place that connects buyer and seller: a listing is published, the buyer calls or sends a message, and haggling and the sale mostly happen face to face. That is why building a site like Sahibinden is different from building an online store; what you measure is not orders but views and contacts per listing.

The first decision when you build a site like Sahibinden is category breadth. Sahibinden covers everything from real estate and vehicles to second-hand goods and heavy machinery, and each category asks its own questions: number of rooms and square meters for an apartment, year and mileage for a car, storage and color for a phone. Without category-specific fields search is useless and users can't find what they're looking for. Our advice for a new venture is to go deep in one category or region rather than opening everything at once.

The second decision is where payment happens. For high-value items bought after viewing, such as homes and vehicles, the sale is completed outside. For shippable items like phones, clothing or small goods, buyers want secure payment: the money waits in escrow on the platform and goes to the seller once the item is delivered and confirmed. An entrepreneur who builds a site like Sahibinden can offer both models on the same site.
