9. eBay
eBay is one of the online shopping apps in India that resembles OLX (discussed later on. It gives you a two-in-one app that lets you not only buy things at a lower price than most but also provides you a platform to sell.
Undoubtedly the app is listed among other leading retailers that houses things related to home, electronics, cars, furniture, and many more and is like having a personal genie but with no restriction on wishes as it seems that they almost have everything.
If you could not find trustworthy second-hand cars then you can check out the automobiles present on eBay with quite a low price, at that. There are no criteria as to what should not be uploaded to sell so eBay is free territory for sellers as well as buyers.
The app interface is pretty simple and finding things are a lot easier with the filtered search option. Even though everything seems alright there are some people who are not happy with the app therefore it can be better than it is now.
All in all, this app does seem to attract users in but it can become a big hit if they work on customer experiences and broaden their marketing plans. If you can overlook this caveat then give eBay a thought.
10. AliExpress
If you are willing to take a chance then Ali Express is the right decision as the app has mixed criticism from customers. Although the number of downloads makes everyone believe that the placed order rarely comes bad.
The app needs quite a change as it does not have positive reviews from its Indian customers and the app’s interface is hard to get used to. Apart from this, the app has some good quality products at rates that can challenge other online shopping apps’ budgets in India.
Many customers put up with the app as the prices and the offers that they are getting are too good to let go of.

11. OLX: Buy & Sell near you
OLX is the shopping app that comes under online shopping apps in India that has both selling and buying features. It is a place where the rates are bargainous.
It is a spot where all types of second-hand products can be bought as well as sold. The process of buying from OLX is straightforward as you have to directly call the seller to know more about the product and confirm the deal.
To sell something on OLX, users simply have to put up a decent pic of the product and then whoever will be interested in the product will DM you via Chat First app. The app ensures that you are not getting scammed or receiving fraud calls.
You can sell anything on OLX as there is no restriction on what to sell. But keep in mind that having no restrictions does not mean you can put up crappy things for sales and also there is no assurance that it would be purchased or sold out.
But, you have to put up with a somewhat complicated interface to buy and sell on OLX, therefore, developers can work on making OLX a better online shopping app in India.
