What is dba.dk?

Back in the late 1970s, someone had the bright idea of publishing a paper with nothing but classified ads. It was called Den Blå Avis, and Denmark loved it. Fast-forward to 1995, when the Internet was just beginning to take off. Den Blå Avis boldly launched a classifieds site (www.dba.dk) that soon became wildly popular.

In 2008, we joined eBay. Today, dba.dk is still the number one classifieds site in Denmark. Our simple format makes it incredibly easy to buy or sell just about anything — or find a job, a babysitter or a new flat.

Denmark is a rather small country with only 5.5 million inhabitants. Therefore you’ll enjoy the personal rewards of connecting with interested buyers and sellers in your own neighborhood.

Team Spotlight

  • Erik
    Sales Manager, Online
    I am always seeking new challenges. Working abroad has also crossed my mind.
    It was really great when we enhanced the MC dealer’s growth online. Also, after eBay bought dba.dk, it was and still is very cool to be a part of the shaping of the new dba.dk.
    The biggest surprise was that there was such a great and informal environment and a lot of focus on socializing with colleagues.
    First and foremost when eBay bought dba.dk. That was a great day. But on a more personal level, I would say when I got promoted to Sales Manager.
    I can sell my stuff free at dba.dk and of course the fabulous lunch each day.
    It seemed like a good company for career opportunities. I thought dba.dk was the place to develop my skills as a salesman and later on as a manager.
    It turned out that dba.dk really had some great career opportunities and I always like challenges, It has really fulfilled my expectations.
  • Morten
    Print Manager
    To make a profit out of the print part of dba.dk. One of my more personal goals is to try and work abroad for awhile.
    The evaluation and clean-up of the print part was amazing. Just by focusing on the product, we found between DKK 3 and 4 million in savings.
    There is so much positive focus on the social aspects in our workplace. We have a great employee social club and everyone looks out for each other.
    Seeing the print edition of dba.dk having success means a lot to me. We did it against all odds.
    That you have so much personal freedom as long as you show integrity and responsibility.
    I applied for a job at dba.dk because of the interesting job description. I didn’t get the job at first but after the interview with the HR manager, she kept in contact with me and after 8 months, the job was mine.
    Freedom to act, a lot of fantastic colleagues and opportunities you will not find anywhere else.
  • Soeren
    Business Development
    I would like to obtain expert knowledge within certain areas of running a site like this. Also the economy behind the site interests me.
    Optimizing the search, the “bump up” and the optimizing of the top ads.
    The time and effort that is required to run and optimize a site like dba.dk.
    The launching of the “bump up” option – it seems to be a success.
    The canteen.
    I have always wanted to work for a major website. You can really make a difference at dba.dk considering the many users.
    You get a lot of responsibility and opportunity to make a difference.
  • Pia
    Project coordinator
    To continue my development and maybe even achieve more responsibility.
    I have just recently received the responsibility of the legal documents in connection to sales. I like to learn complicated stuff and make it understandable for others.
    When eBay bought dba.dk. It came as a big but very positive surprise.
    I have had so many – but the most fun was when I joined a screen advertisement for our Swedish department. I had to swing back and forth hanging upside down.
    Definitely the trips to the cinema with my colleagues! We have some really nice social events including sports and parties.
    I started working here part time while I studied and I became so fond of it, I stayed on after I finished my studies. The job functions have luckily changed a lot but I am still as pleased to work here as I was in the beginning.
    I learn something new every day and get a lot of responsibility. To me, dba.dk is like a big playground that I look forward to play on every day.
