It’s mostly clothes so it’s got a reputation that it’s for women but there’s some other stuff there too. You can find old crap that people get rid of when cleaning out „the garage” - old Nintendo handhelds etc.

What’s nice is that it’s very well integrated with various European shipping services. The process is so easy that I know grannies trading their wardrobes. Mixed feelings about that but I guess regular pensions always required you to be thrifty where I live so at least being thrifty is a bit easier now.

There's also flohmarkt, a federated self-hostable eBay/Craigslist alternative, with active instances in the UK and Germany.
