About Mercado Libre Classifieds
Mercado Libre Classifieds is where vehicles, property and services are listed rather than sold, and the commercial difference is what defines it: the company charges only a fee to place the listing, not a percentage of the final value as it does on the marketplace. It sits inside the same app and website as the marketplace, so a used car and a phone charger are found the same way, and its fees are reported within the group's commerce services revenue.
