AyosDito.ph

AyosDito.ph is a fairly new online service that lets anybody who has access to the Internet buy and sell stuff. There are a number of other similar sites, but AyosDito.ph is unique in that it’s very straightforward and it’s not built on top of a bulletin board.

Their no-frills interface immediately makes online buyers aware of what’s important: “what’s available?” No more need for user registration or lengthy sign-up processes — although, this might pose a problem in the future… but I’m sure the people behind AyosDito.ph have already considered the implications.

Items for sale — even job openings, land for lease, services, etc. — are conveniently organized by Philippine region. If you’re in Davao City, just click on the Region XI area on the map and you’re good to go! On that next screen, you’ll be presented with a list of new items.

Searching for stuff is also quite simple. Looking for shoes & accessories? Their powerful on-site search engine is your best bet to find them and more!

The entry of AyosDito.ph — “It’s great here” — is a breath of fresh air in the otherwise crowded and often confusing online buy-and-sell space. It’s not yet a full-fledged e-commerce Web site, however, because actual transactions take place offline. I suppose their objective at this juncture is to provide a hassle-free venue for buyers and sellers to find each other. Hopefully, in the near future, AyosDito.ph will evolve into a robust e-commerce hub for Filipinos.
