If you've ever tried to sell a used phone on Facebook Marketplace, you already know how it goes: 47 people message you asking "lowest price?", half of them don't even read the description, and the ones who seem serious disappear the next day. MercadoLibre charges commissions that sometimes don't make sense for a $200,000 product. And OLX... well, OLX doesn't exist in Colombia anymore.

The reality is that buying and selling electronics in Colombia has always been a headache. Facebook groups are full of spam, posts get lost in minutes, and you never know if you're talking to someone serious or a bot. That's why we created an alternative.

Colombia Move: Your New Place for Electronics

On colombiamove.com you can post any electronic device for free — no commissions, no hidden fees, nothing. The platform is designed specifically for Colombia, it's bilingual (Spanish and English), and has a clean design that doesn't bombard you with ads.

It's not just for electronics — there are also sections for housing, vehicles, and furniture — but today I want to focus on the tech part because that's where a decent platform is needed most.

What Can You Post?

The electronics categories cover practically everything you need:

  • 📱 Cell Phones — iPhone, Samsung, Xiaomi, whatever you have
  • 💻 Computers — laptops, desktop PCs, MacBooks
  • 🎮 Consoles — PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch
  • 🔊 Audio and Video — speakers, headphones, TVs, monitors
  • 🏠 Appliances — fridges, washing machines, air conditioners
  • 📷 Cameras — DSLR, mirrorless, drones, GoPro
  • 🔌 Tech Accessories — chargers, cables, cases, keyboards

How to Post in 3 Steps

Step 1: The Details

Go to colombiamove.com/publicar and select "Sale" as the type. Choose the category that best applies — if it's a cell phone, select Cell Phones. If it's something unusual like a vintage projector, use "Other Electronics".

Write a clear title. "iPhone 14 Pro Max 256GB" works much better than "phone for sale". Add an honest description — mention if it has scratches, if the battery is at 85%, if it includes the box. People appreciate transparency and will contact you faster.

Step 2: Price, Photos, and Contact

You can set the price in Colombian pesos, dollars, or even crypto (Bitcoin, USDC, USDT). Upload up to 10 photos — and heads up, good photos sell. Take photos with good lighting, show the product from several angles, and if it has any defects, include them. That builds trust.

For contact, you can add WhatsApp, email, phone, Telegram, or Messenger. But here comes the best part...

The New Messaging System

One of the most common complaints when you post something online is having to give your WhatsApp number to any stranger. Some use it for spam, others for scams, and nobody likes receiving random messages at 11 at night.

That's why we just launched a direct messaging system within the platform. Here's how it works:

  • An interested buyer sends you a message directly from your listing
  • You receive a notification by email (or WhatsApp if you set it up)
  • You respond from the platform — without giving your personal number
  • If someone bothers you, you block them with one click
  • Messages are automatically deleted after 30 days

It's completely optional — if you prefer to be contacted via WhatsApp directly, you can keep doing that. But if you value your privacy or are simply tired of spam, the internal chat is your best option.

Step 3: Review and Publish

Before publishing, you review everything in a summary. You click "Publish" and that's it — your listing is online immediately. We automatically create an account for you with your email, so you can edit, renew, or delete your listing whenever you want from "My Listings".

The whole process takes less than 3 minutes. I tested it with a pair of Sony headphones I had lying around and in 2 days three people had already contacted me.

Other Features Worth Checking Out

Besides posting and buying, the platform has a couple of things that make it different:

  • Search Alerts — Set up an alert for "MacBook" in Medellín and we'll let you know when someone posts one
  • Favorites — Save listings you're interested in to view later
  • Dark Mode — Because sometimes you browse at 2am looking for deals
  • Bilingual — Everything in Spanish and English, useful if you sell to foreigners
  • No Commissions — Posting is free, selling is free, everything is free

What's Coming

The platform is new and we're actively building it. Some things we want to add soon:

  • Review system for sellers (so you know who you're dealing with)
  • Landing pages by city (electronics in Bogotá, in Medellín, etc.)
  • More categories based on demand

But most importantly: we want to hear from you. If there's something you need, something that doesn't work well, or an idea you have — tell us on the contact page. We seriously read it all.

Frequently Asked Questions

❓ Is it really free to post?

Yes, 100%. There are no sales commissions, no posting fees, no hidden premium plans. Posting and selling is completely free.

❓ Do I need to create an account?

You don't need to register beforehand — when you post your first listing, your account is automatically created with your email. You can also register from the login page if you just want to save favorites or use the chat.

❓ How do I protect myself from scams?

Use the internal messaging system so you don't give out your personal number. Always do transactions in public places. If a price seems too good to be true, it probably is. And if someone asks you for a deposit before seeing the product, that's a giant red flag.

❓ Can I post in dollars or crypto?

Yes. When posting you can select COP, USD, Bitcoin, USDC, USDT, or PayPal USD as currency. Useful if you sell to foreigners or in crypto communities.

❓ How long does my listing last?

Listings last 3 weeks. Before it expires, we send you a reminder so you can renew it if it's still available. Renewing is just one click.

Do you have an electronic device you no longer use? Post it on colombiamove.com and give it a second life. And if you're looking for something specific, set up an alert — we'll let you know when it appears.
