Never pay to make your ad "urgent", it only lasts for 12 hours and you have low visibility again. Sell on Amazon and it will work out much better for you.

I have been using kijij for more than 5 years. This is my review - THEY ARE GOING TO DIE SOON. Look for alternatives.

Such a waste (PS: I might have spent close to $2000 bucks in 5 years, it was good initially)

People Suck
September 2, 2020

Over 5 years on kijiji I have dealt with over 500 people and maybe sold to 10 of them. There is a 1 in 50 chance you will talk to someone decent. It took me 5 years to realize it is a waste of time.

Disgraceful scam site
December 21, 2018

Kijiji is now tracking both buyer and seller and it should be obvious their changes were not about safety or security but control. They started years ago with masking, then withholding other sellers ads, then blocking numbers, then forcing selling accounts and now even buying accounts. Each time they waited about one year to not totally turn everyone away and make the next negative change. Today kijiji is the disgrace of the internet, as soon you hit the page there is third party tracking all over and the choices to buy are no longer there, since they don't attract anyone but low class business or service spammers. The worst of it is the CUSTOMER suffered drastically, I am now seeing 10 year old junk at 2x the price it was last year and things that are up to 50% less on craigslist, because there is nobody listing but people who accept their controlling terms they've created a rip off only market under full tracking. Works great for kijiji as they sell the data, and sellers doubled their prices on a lot of things. I would never sign up to them and as a result will never buy anything. Best place now is craigslist. Kijiji are nothing but liars and cheaters and they don't even belong in Canada. Its a US company with foreign employees.

Extremely unprofessional and poor customer service! Useless and rude agents! Your service is just a shame! Agent called Hassan is useless and very unprofessional! Train and teach your staff how to deal with the customers and to listen what they are asking instead of saying lies to them and terminating the chat! I am trying to place an add in my account where i have two adds to reactivate the second free one and it keeps disappearing. I contacted customer service to check the issue and they are telling me i have another account where i have the same adds which is COMPLETE LIE! I have never had any other account on kijiji and never placed any add in other account! When i asked to show me which is the second account or check the details he just said i see it and good buy and terminated the chat! SO DISGUSTING! I WANT TO REACH YOUR MANAGEMENT TEAM AND REPORT ABOUT THIS AGENT! WHO IS SHAME AND YOU MUST CHECK HOW YOUR AGENTS WORK AND WHAT THEY DO! I WILL GO TO EVERY SOCIAL MEDIA TO LET EVERYONE KNOW YOUR DISGUSTING SERVICES! AGENT HASSAN O IS YOUR SHAME TEACH HIM CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS!

Kijiji used to be great - now there are so many ads by dealers that I don't even bother looking for ads by owners anymore. It's just frustrating, and I can't use Kijiji anymore.

Kijiji is a terrible place to advertise your business. They will delete your ad without any reason, they just a money gready folks. Stay away from them. They don't care about their customers.

Too many ads
September 1, 2023

Rarely go on Kijiji. Mostly ads and sponsored posts. Sometimes can't even find a post from a regular person. Kijiji is a waste of time.

Kijiji won't address their flawed review system. They don't give both buyer and seller the chance to review at the same time. They wont address or delete reviews made under false pretences.

Bad Review System
July 15, 2020

I received a mediocre review. Which was untrue. There is no way of disputing a bad review. Kijiji puts it out there, but then says it is nothing to do with reviews.

After letting 3 people in to view items who stole from my house
And a woman coming for a free desk and after saying it's not good enough for her she turned to my Nikon 810
And told me she wanted that
For free and I kicked her out
Last time was old man who stole items on my porch -and I have said never again and have never used it thereafter

I have tried to navigate Kijiji.ca over the last week and found it to be one of the slowest sites on that I have used. My hope is that a new service is developed soon!

Horrible
January 1, 2021

Put up a PAID ad they took it down the same day and took a payment the next! They don't even give you an explanation! They just cut off the live chat when they want! Very dishonest. Next step BBB

This is my first time ever in my entire 27 years that I have ever felt the need to leave a comment. I have never used Kijiji in my life but decided only recently to use it to rent my condo. My condo is located in downtown Montreal fairly priced for long term rental. Upon posting my ad, it was taken down momentarily. I have tried reaching the live chat but they said my ad was suspicious, closed the chat and blocked account just like that. Moving forward, I have spoken to several other agents which all closed the chat box immediately after the first message. I've tried sending emails and even messaged your instagram page who told me they would look into it. I did not get any replies for neither. This is UTTERLY FRUSTRATING. Now who is responsible for approving ads on Kijiji?!?!?! I am 100% positive that my ad conforms with your company guidelines so why I am blocked from posting anything?!? PLEASE get someone to get back to me ASAP, I've never felt such sheer anger and frustration in my life. You guys are by far the worst site that I have dealt with in my entire life.

Easy to use and an effective free way to sell. Of course there are paid options and even these are pretty reasonable when compared to ebay or Autotrader.
