ZippyTrader.com was born in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia to provide free online classifieds that are family-friendly, secure, and maintain a sense of community. Like traditional community shopper publications, ZippyTrader.com classifieds are free, made possible by support from your neighborhood businesses through our affordable display ads. Launched in February of 2002 (as Valleyho.com) ZippyTrader.com has evolved and grown to cover every city in the USA. The name change reflects our ability to target any ZIP code in the USA. Yet, we remain dedicated to supporting each and every community at the local level. We achieve this through Community Partners who are responsible for local business advertising and day-to-day operation of your community ZippyTrader pages.
Other classified sites have been in the news for everything from scams to questionable "adult" activity. To assure a family friendly environment we have no chat rooms, message forums, or adult oriented categories. And while no system is perfect, we think we have the safest classifieds around. To maintain a high level of security, every ad is analyzed by over a dozen fraud filters to automatically stop ads before they make it into the system. To date, ZippyTrader.com has been 100% scam free.
