KupujemProdajem Explained: How to Use Serbia's Biggest Classifieds Site
KupujemProdajem is Serbia's biggest classifieds site, but it is entirely in Serbian. Here is how to buy and sell there without speaking the language: search words, registration, delivery, and the pitfalls.
What Is KupujemProdajem
KupujemProdajem (kupujemprodajem.com, known as KP) is Serbia's answer to classifieds sites like Craigslist or Gumtree, and by far the country's most visited one. The name literally means "I buy, I sell." You will find everything here: furniture, electronics, clothing, spare parts, services. If it is sold in Serbia, chances are it is listed on KP.
Registration
You sign up with an email address; for active use, the platform will ask you to verify a phone number — a Serbian number makes life much easier here and later when messaging sellers. The interface exists only in Serbian; the browser's auto-translate helps, but it breaks down on forms and in chat.
How to Search: A Mini-Dictionary
- polovno / polovan — used/second-hand (the key word: "polovan telefon", "polovan namestaj");
- namestaj — furniture, bela tehnika — major appliances;
- odeca — clothing, decije stvari — kids' items;
- besplatno / poklon — free, hitno — urgent, novo — new;
- ocuvano — "in good condition", kao novo — "like new".
Search using Serbian Latin script and always filter by city: delivery between cities exists, but inspecting the item before buying is the norm in Serbia.
Buying and Delivery
The usual scenario: message the seller in KP's internal chat, arrange a meeting, and pay cash on inspection. For sending items to another city, KP has integrated courier delivery with cash on delivery — a workable option if the seller agrees to it. Sellers reply in Serbian; short messages run through a translator are usually fine, but longer negotiations get painful.
Selling: What You Need to Know
- You will need to write your listing in Serbian — listings in other languages are largely ignored by both the audience and KP's algorithms;
- basic listings are free, but popular categories have limits and paid promotion options;
- buyers expect fast replies in Serbian — keep a translator handy.
When KP Is Not the Right Fit
KP works great if you read Serbian or do not mind living inside a translator. If not, every purchase turns into a quest. Ovdix solves exactly this problem: listings and chat are translated automatically — you write in your own language, and the Serbian buyer sees the text in theirs. For a look at other platforms, see our articles on Serbia's Avito alternative and comparing classifieds sites. If your issue is the listing fees rather than the language, see the KupujemProdajem alternatives overview.
Frequently asked questions
Does KupujemProdajem have an English or Russian version?
No — the interface exists only in Serbian. Browser page translation helps when reading listings but breaks on forms and in chat, and listings written in other languages are effectively ignored by both KP’s audience and its ranking, so the text still has to be in Serbian.
Which Serbian words do I need to search KP for second-hand?
The key word is polovno / polovan ("used"): polovan telefon, polovan namestaj. Then: namestaj — furniture, bela tehnika — large appliances, odeca — clothes, decije stvari — kids’ things, besplatno and poklon — free, hitno — urgent, novo — new, ocuvano — "in good condition", kao novo — "like new". Search in Serbian Latin script.
Do I need a Serbian phone number to register?
The account is created with an email, but for active use the site will ask you to confirm a phone number. A Serbian number makes life much easier both here and later with sellers — many of them prefer a call to a chat thread.
Does KupujemProdajem offer delivery?
Yes, KP has integrated courier delivery with cash on delivery — a workable option for another city, if the seller agrees to it. But inspecting before buying remains the norm in Serbia, so filter by city: the usual flow is to message in the built-in chat, meet up and pay cash.
