French term or phrase: sites d’achats et de vente entre particuliers
"En raison de la crise, 72% des internautes déclarent utiliser davantage les comparateurs de prix, 38% fréquentent davantage les sites d’achats et de vente entre particuliers"

Does anybody know if there are specific marketing terms for these types of websites? Or can you just translate them descriptively.

Many thanks:)

  -> I wasn't including ebay, since it has so much trade stuff on it; the French ebay now also has a separate "petites annonces" section which is how I see this. But you may be right, and ebay is also included ...
