Kupatana.co.ug is the latest C2C marketplace in the Ugandan e-commerce sector. The site has six categories that include Real estate, Vehichle, Electronics, Hobbies and Life. As of this post, the marketplace claims it has 17, 680 listing on its platform already from users posting from the central, east, west and northern regions of Uganda.

We are impressed by the design of the site. It totally looks great and easy to use. The platform also has a mobile App on the Google Playstore that should make it even more convenient for users to post their Ads.

Kupatana seems to have a regional ambition since we can spot links to other marketplaces in Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda. The new kid on the block has OLX, Vendito, Eyetrade, Kaymu, MoboFree to go against among the most notable classifieds platforms in the country.
