The company established its Philippines office in November 2008 and launched its online classifieds website, AyosDito.ph (Tagalog for "Ok Here") in March 2009. And like its Malaysian sister website, AyosDito.ph has very quickly gained a loyal following and is well on its way to become the preferred buy and sell website in the Philippines.
In Malaysia, Shylendra A.S. Nathan is the General Manager of the Malaysia mudah.my operations. In mudah.my once the advertisements published they are conveniently organized into Location (i.e. states, regions and/or provinces), For Sale or Wanted and a variety of product categories. For a quick locate an advertisement, there are basic wide card search and advanced category dependent search criteria. Once the Advertisement is found, it can be added to Favorites for future quick reference. All advertisers' contact details are hidden on request and they block unwanted spam where possible.
For me, Mudah.my is like Malaysia online flea market. You just need to beware that there is conman, fraudster, scammer and cheater among thousands of genuine seller. The list of fraud case rise every year. Some of the coin and currency on sale in mudah is selling at a ridiculous price or make no sense at all. 1 ringgit 1971 coin sale for RM5K? Or even an old square coin(malaya & british borneo one cent coin) on sale for 900 ringgit. To anyone who do collecting will be laughing at the advertisement. But the owner should implemented some method where the seller is rated, to make sure only reputable seller keep on doing sale in their website. I try to find information about Mudah.my in Wikipedia but I cannot found any.
