(luckdragon11) When I stumbled upon Listia over a year ago, I looking for a way to get rid of my items to sell and make ends meet as I had just lost my job. I found it very interesting that I didn’t need money to set up my auctions and I could choose to have buyers pay postage directly to PayPal. As I started listing, I was getting enough credits to start bidding on gift cards for Walmart that helped me get groceries. Then the whole whirlwind began! Christmas was coming and with no funds, I started cleaning out the garage, grabbing the grandkids clothes they grew out of and on and on. With as much effort as I wanted to put into it, I not only helped to make ends meet but also made a wonderful Christmas for my family! Along with being able to do all of this, I began making friends as well as doing something fun! Some of the people I have met through here I believe will be lifelong friends from here on out. (As my husband is disabled from cancer, I have bonded with two very special people through Listia who have tragically been in my position). I feel a camaraderie with many on Listia. Thank you for coming up with this wonderful site!

 (pamhawkins9461) I don’t remember much about how Listia entered into my life, but I can remember this: it has changed my life forever. I joined Listia in 2013 and my life hasn’t been the same since. Being a female, two of my favorite things are jewelry and makeup (naturally).  Since I’m a disabled widow on a very strict budget, I can’t afford to pay retail prices. I haven’t won an auction yet I haven’t loved.  And the people I’ve had the great pleasure of working with are amazing.  I’ve made many new friendships with people from all around the world.  Thank you Listia for becoming a very exciting part of my life.

 (goodgirl1975) I have been on Listia since 2012 and I love everything about it. Thanks to all the cool people I have met and all the helpful hints that I get. Thanks also to the ones who made this site possible. I’m addicted to it and always will be. I have gotten so much stuff it’s crazy. I don’t know what I would do without it.

(YashuaSaves) I became a member since December 2013 but I hadn’t been on much until November 2014. I had decided to give it a chance for Christmas.  Christmas is going to be beautiful and exciting, knowing that my family will open up presents. Listia eased the burden; so did the Listia members. I have met a lot of nice people with precious hearts and even Listia moderators as well.  I am writing this (tears are raining down on my face) with complete and utter thankfulness. Thank you all for being here… for all of us members. I am truly blessed!

(leannabrosh) I stumbled across Listia about a year ago. I am disabled and was unable to get everyday needs and had a house full of stuff. Not only do I get what I need delivered right to my door, but I also have gotten rid of a bunch of items I no longer need. The most amazing part is the friendships I have made along the way. Also the Listia team has made using this site super easy! It has been a true blessing all around. This has been an amazing experience!! 🙂

(So_Quick_Trading) I always have a very low Christmas budget, and this year wouldn’t have been much different.  Thanks to Listia, we had a truly wonderful Christmas for the first time in many years.  The best part was a stuffed box auction, which made it so I was able to absolutely shower my wife, mom and sister with all kinds of jewelries: rings, necklaces, earrings and watches.  They were practically in shock… it was just awesome. Many thanks to Listia, and all the wonderful members (both buyers & sellers) who really helped to make this happen.  And I’m really looking forward to how much more happiness and joy Listia will bring in the coming new year.  I’ll bet my family’s birthdays of 2015 are all going to be amazing as well.
