Kijiji

Kijii provides a means for illegal, unethical animal vendors to rip off the public and abuse pets. Puppy and kitten mills, dog fighters looking for bait dogs, fake "rescues" looking for free pets to feed to reptiles, irresponsible breeders selling pets too young to be taken from their mothers, fraud artists selling non-existent animals - all of them profit from ads carried by Kijiji. Without Kijiji's assistance none of these criminals would be in business. They have "pet policies" which they claim are intended to weed out animal abusers and fraud artists, however, when an ad that violates their policies is flagged, they refuse to take down the ad or take any action against the seller. Clearly these "policies" are nothing but window dressing to protect them from criminal liability, despite their own criminal behaviour. Contacting their customer service to complain is a waste of time. All you get is a patronizing form letter telling you how to file a complaint.

This service since eBay has taken over has gone nowhere else but DOWNHILL. Most of the Canadian reps/service personel are on a power trip in cancelling some postings that don't agree with them. The staff are "Legends,... in their own minds"!
There are many other alternatives,. Just Google to find out.

I get 3 or 4 messages lately that ask "is this still available?"
Not only is that a dumb question. But when I answer, they NEVER answer. It's gotten so bad that I'm starting to think these are bots. Or everyone is slowly turning into a flaky $#*!. I've started screenshotting the conversations I have because of how stupid they are. Not only that, no matter what/where you search, you always get ******* dealer ads, and ads from across the damn country.
0% positive reviews in the last year? Not suprised. Kijiji is dead. Let's kill it and move on.

Over the years I have used this website to sell or look up or find things. Lately have used them looking for a rental and twice have been contacted through kijiji by fraud artists posing as landlords with rooms to rent. Both are scams and luckily no money was sent as they ask for of course and not stupid enough to send it but some people do and disqusting how kijiji doesn't even answer my complaint that I sent them. 3 weeks ago now and no word... not good business practices? They should be accountable for whoever posts ads

I tried for one hole day to cell my used phone on it, well I only tried to get the ad online. But everytime I got deleted or delayed. I didn't do anything wrong, just some pictures of my device and a basic description. After contacting several times the support I only got this useless Answer;

They leave the chat straight away without trying to explain why they choose so. Bunch of r*tards

Kijiji is now a scam and the good sellers have been eradicated like on ebay. You can't post here unless you subscribe to the one of track and watch type emails like yahoo, gmail and so on. If you try using a real email, where your mails aren't read by google losers then your posts will never show up. The site and sellers are garbage and buying anything is a waste of time and money. It's funny how these scam company demands you to be a perfect seller yet they can't even get to 10 positives while there is 140 negatives. With that kind of sub 1% ratio it shows what kind of scam company and management they have.

What is wrong with these idiots. For years new every software change just makes it worse, their cllck fraud paid ad thing, getting rid of html editing, capping the number ads (I'm an individual selling used stuff, not a business) and so on. It was such a good system, Its like they; ve got a bunch of programmers and have to dream up $$#*! up for them to do. Meanwhile they make it impossible to talk to them to express the concerns. What sort of business tries to isolate itself from its customers? One that's not going to last.

I run a business in Belleville, Ontario for the past 20 years. I posted my business on pet service on Kijiji only to have a spam user trash me on kijiji through her ad for 8 months. And you couldn't even imagine the things that Lynda Skitch would say, she even uses the name Lynn Crosby... I don't know this person what so ever. Kijiji would kick her down but then allow her to go right back up again even the same day... Even Constable Monique Waite has reported it to kijiji, but still nothing... After everything kijiji has put me through I will never post my business ad with them ever again... They don't care to protect real clients at all.

Made this account just to review this; I'm anonymous.
I used to love Kijiji back in the good ol' days (2012-2014). Now, they've a) Ruined the site layout, b) Gone full greedy (understandable due to AdBlock and paying employees), and finally, c) Complete garbage customer service. They treat you like a child (if they even ever get back to you); I was told my 'situation would be resolved very shortly, and numerous times they got back to me, they told me something like 'Sorry, we can't do this, our tech managers are unable to' - complete B. S.
Goodbye Kijiji; moving to LetGo, I recommend you do the same.
P.S. There are tons of scammers and pedos/creeps on Kijiji. Be aware.

Who thought this new review system was a good idea? You so much as look at someone the wrong way, or turn down a lowball offer, and they decide to leave you a 1 star review. There's no moderation of reviews, so the seller has no recourse for review-bombing. The review just stays there forever, even if it's completely untrue? Not like that's ripe for abuse...
