Frankly I’ve never ever used eBay, not even visited it. Most of the websites mentioned in this list I’ve never used, this list is by The Guardian.

“Clap” i saw the wonderfull commnets posted by Amoura ilzinikh… but at Nassar i am happy (being) not a founder nor a co-founder is better than to be a co-founder, coz u wont feel guilty to leave yuour baby…
Go & kill your self and make sure to get a psychological therapy so (u) can easily forget Maktoob & SOUQ
i left SOUQ, but i still love it and believe in the project
