I was just wondering if there was something like ebay but free (and canadian), would very much like help, no real hurry though

None that I know of.

If it was free, then how would they stay in business?

well alot of people make stuff and put it up for free.... and they could make money off of ads

If they charged for your ad... then it wouldn't be free.
I don't understand where you're going with this.

I meant like ads on the sides, like how you have the banner for different places at the top of the forums...

anyways if there are none thats fine, would it be against the rules to say "I have X, now post a bid"? and would that go in the relevent trading section or auction links? (leaning towards sections)

Don't call it a "bid." Call it an "offer."
Bids are for auctions, and we have a specific forum for auctions.

If you're accepting offers, then it can go in the relevant forum. For posterity, you might also want to specify that all offers should be made in the thread. That way, nobody can accuse you of fraudulently inflating the price of the item.
