bolha.com
Bolha.com is Slovenia’s largest online classifieds marketplace, with more than 1.1 million active listings covering everything from used electronics and cars to property, services, collectibles, and business equipment.
What is bolha.com and who operates it?
Bolha.com is a Slovenian classifieds platform where individuals and businesses can advertise new and used products, property, vehicles, services, and many other types of offers. It has been operating since 1999, making it one of Slovenia’s longest-established online marketplaces.
The site is run by Styria digital marketplaces, d.o.o., based in Ljubljana. Bolha.com’s current imprint lists the company as its owner and operator, while the company’s LinkedIn profile says it is wholly owned by Styria Media Group AG. That puts bolha.com within a broader Central European digital-media and marketplace business rather than making it a standalone local classifieds site.
Anyone can browse listings without creating an account. Posting ads, managing listings, contacting sellers through certain features, and using other marketplace tools generally requires registration. Bolha.com also separates private sellers from professional businesses, which can operate through dedicated bolha.com Stores.
How large is bolha.com in 2026?
Bolha.com’s own help pages give the clearest current picture of its size. The company says the marketplace has more than 1.1 million active ads, with thousands of new listings added each day.
It also reports an average of 1,274,408 monthly active recipients in the European Union. That figure is calculated over the previous six months and published as part of bolha.com’s disclosure obligations under the EU Digital Services Act.
Independent traffic estimates suggest the site continues to attract a large Slovenian audience. Semrush estimated that bolha.com received about 2.09 million visits in August 2026, around 1.6 percent more than in July. It estimated that 85.9 percent of traffic came from Slovenia, followed by much smaller shares from Croatia, Germany, Serbia, and the United States. Semrush also ranked bolha.com 24th among websites in Slovenia that month.
These numbers measure different things. Bolha.com’s DSA figure covers average monthly recipients, while Semrush estimates website visits. Even so, both point to the same broader conclusion: bolha.com remains a major part of Slovenia’s online second-hand and classifieds market.
What can people buy and sell on bolha.com?
The site covers far more than second-hand household goods. Current categories include real estate, cars, motorcycles, smartphones, computers, photography equipment, audio and video products, fashion, sports gear, home items, construction materials, agricultural equipment, books, collectibles, animals, tickets, tourism offers, and professional equipment.
Buyers can narrow results by category, price, location, distance, photos, and other listing-specific details. The mobile app provides many of the same functions, including browsing, posting ads, uploading photos, saving searches, following interesting listings, contacting sellers, and managing existing ads.
Bolha.com has also added app features designed to make creating listings faster, including tools that can recognize information from text and photos.
Businesses have a separate option through bolha.com Stores. These accounts are intended for professional sellers that need recurring listings and additional promotional features. Bolha.com’s terms make an important distinction, however: the platform acts as an intermediary and does not itself enter into distance-sale contracts between Stores and buyers.
How does the BREZ SKRBI service work?
BREZ SKRBI is bolha.com’s protected transaction service for eligible listings. Instead of sending money directly to a seller, a buyer makes or accepts an offer and pays by card through the platform. The payment is then held while the item is shipped.
Delivery is handled through GLS, including supported parcel-locker options. After receiving the item, the buyer has 48 hours to confirm that everything is satisfactory or report a problem.
If a dispute is opened, the buyer and seller have 10 days to try to reach an agreement. Bolha.com can become involved if they cannot resolve the issue themselves. Once delivery is completed and the transaction is confirmed, the seller receives the money.
Current buyer-protection fees depend on the transaction value. Bolha.com lists a fee of €1.96 for transactions up to €49, 4 percent for purchases between €49.01 and €999.99, and €40 for transactions from €1,000 to €4,645. The current maximum BREZ SKRBI offer shown in its help material is €4,645.
Bolha.com currently advertises delivery as free during a promotional period, so users should check the latest terms before assuming that shipping will remain free.
Is it free to post an ad?
Most categories allow private users to post ads for free, according to bolha.com’s current help information. Some sections charge listing fees, however, and sellers can also pay extra to give an ad more visibility.
The September 2026 price list for individual users, for example, shows a €3.19 fee for a 30-day smartphone listing. Certain categories involving animals, marine products, machinery, and professional equipment use different prices and listing periods.
Paid promotion is available separately. Sellers can purchase highlighted placements, “Super” visibility, and other promotional options intended to make their listings stand out.
Because fees depend on the category and may change over time, checking bolha.com’s current price list before posting is safer than relying on older articles or cached information.
How safe is bolha.com?
Bolha.com provides several security measures, but users still need to be cautious because marketplace scams often rely on social engineering rather than weaknesses in the website itself.
Its safety guidance says the company verifies users, moderates listings, investigates reports, performs additional checks on some accounts registered outside Slovenia, and uses two-factor authentication that sends login codes by email.
One warning is especially important. Bolha.com says it never contacts users through WhatsApp or Viber. It advises users not to open payment links sent through those services and says there is no official “Bolha courier” service. For BREZ SKRBI transactions, GLS is the delivery partner.
Buyers and sellers are safer when they keep communication and payments inside bolha.com, avoid giving card numbers, expiry dates, or CVV codes to other users, and treat unusually cheap offers with caution. For in-person purchases, bolha.com recommends meeting in a public place and checking the item before handing over money.
What information about bolha.com is often outdated elsewhere?
Listing volume is one area where older descriptions can be misleading. Some third-party company profiles still describe bolha.com as having more than 550,000 products and services.
Bolha.com’s current help pages now report more than 1.1 million active ads. That is a substantial difference and shows how quickly marketplace statistics can become outdated.
The same issue applies to fees, payment limits, delivery rules, and security procedures. For operational details that can change, bolha.com’s own current help pages are usually more useful than older company profiles or general summaries.
Who is bolha.com most useful for?
Bolha.com is particularly useful for people buying or selling within Slovenia who want access to a large local marketplace rather than a general international platform. Its category depth makes it suitable for everyday items as well as cars, property, equipment, collectibles, and specialist goods.
It can also be useful for price research. Sellers can compare similar listings before setting an asking price, while buyers can get a sense of what used products are currently being offered for in Slovenia.
The main limitation is the same one found on most classifieds platforms: bolha.com connects buyers and sellers, but it cannot eliminate the risks that come with dealing with individual users. Buyers still need to judge listings carefully, and sellers need to watch for phishing attempts or fake payment messages.
For users who follow the platform’s safety guidance, bolha.com combines a large Slovenian audience with practical search tools, business listings, and optional payment and delivery protection.
