As of recent Conveniently the site gets you little views or eyes on your listings or things being sold. Unless you go through a paywall. I add a lot to my description, put in the right category, specify location, add photos. Still no views. Algorithm needs to be fixed. Also lots of WhatsApp scamming going on where people want to buy your listings via WhatsApp but conveniently never answer back they have no intention of buying off you.They just want your money. Its recommended to ignore any WhatsApp message via Kijiji. Most likely scam going on. Pay attention whoever is behind kijjiji.clean your site of this scam plague.
I inteded to advertise my upcoming garage sale, and proceeded to make it a "top ad". Kijiji took the money $10. 50. 2 days later I search my ad and it was on page 3?! I look further into it and also notice my ad was duplicated. I emailed them regarding these 2 issues and the next morning I hear back, the solution for them was to say "i was not charged the 10.50 and then they deleted the ad. My account with them shows no charges, but my bank account clearly shows the money was taken by Kijiji. Extremely poor customer service! And Scammers! I will be using an alternate site in the future
I have posted adds in the past and because of the type of add it was deleted as well as any chance of me posting an add again, yet there are adds of the same nature existing without being removed even after I myself have reported them, yet weeks later the add remains...
This morning I went to Kijiji to see what mobile homes are for sale in my area. There were 17 listings. 3 were for cars, another 3 for tablets and 1 for pets, which turned out to be an aquarium. Also a couple electronic things which I didn't bother to look at. I have also on occasion had a few items to sell, so I would look under Wanted in case someone was looking for what I had. Most of what I found were people Wanting to sell theirs. It appears to me that no one actually owns/runs/monitors Kijiji or they wouldn't have let it become the mess it is. I see no reason to go back.
This establishment has no concern for repeat costumers all they want is their payment. They do not care if the client is happy. They do not stand by their products they sell and are very rude if you question anything. They messed up a girls hair on grad day which totally killed her special day. Plus we bought hair color from them and the hair color did not change her hair what so ever. There response was rude, cold, uncaring attitude. Do not give these people your hard earned money!
Its like spam of endless so called partner ads, they aren't even relevant to the category - for example if I'm looking for a management job in one city, pages of ads from Indeed from across the country, or world for that matter make the relevant ads hard to find. Way to drive off viewer Kijiji!
Kijiji used to be amazing, but now they just let you waste huge amounts of your time making adds, and then try to charge you to post at the end. After 10 years I have stopped using their gougey service. Supposed to be free, but even posting a free service add coats 10$ now, same when I wanted to sell both my cars, the second one flags you as a car dealer and wont poat for you unless you pay.
I just received a 2 star review from a seller who said he didn't have the monitor I wanted but he had a more expensive monitor. So, I declined. Meanwhile, the ad for the monitor I was interested in is still up. Now I can't change or remove my review. I used Kijiji a LOT but no more.
Recently, in what I can only assume is a drive for increased advertising revenue, the sight floods you with irrevelant paid ads. You try to narrow a search to 5 KM from your home and get hundreds of paid ads from the same company with locations set for hundreds, sometimes even Thousands of KMs away... time to start using Craig's List.
I purchased a laptop from a guy who I think is a scammer his profile shows that he is a member for 10 year and I guess all these years he was scamming people. The sad point is that you cant even write a review about the seller or the product so welcome to the circle of scammers and victims. And as a victim you cant even report to Kijiji because they don't care
I have been a seller on Kijiji for over a year now. I have 29 five star reviews. All of my buyers have given me a 5 star review. My prices are reasonable and putting ads is quite easy. The only complaint I have are potential buyers who ask about something and you never hear from them again. That is not a fault of th4e Kijiji system, just the users. I never pay for any upgrades so the free adds and no comissions is a great way for me to do business.
This new site has all the gremlins, even the provinces are not correct! All ontario adds are being posted as Saskatchewan?lets get this figured out before we squeeze another add in and have to look at the same product 12x before advancing in the search
Kijiji is not the issue i love it, but the people that buy need to do learn how it work. Like i sold a womens winter jacket to a man for is wife, i come without is wife to buy the jacket then 2 hours later i call me back to get is money back because it to small for is wife. Now is pis that i wont take it back. It not my responsibility to make sure it the good size for her. When you by use clothes from a privates u better make sure it goin to fit, if it doesn't it not the seller faults and as soon as you live whit what you buy it yours.
I advertised my items in the admarkt area of kijiji and you have to put a minimum of $4 on a $10 item and pay per hit and all this other bs... and you don't see what is happening day to day with the things you posted. I have less than 50 items posted... I get hit with almost $350 in one month... REALLY! Most calls I received were from people in Nigeria asking me to use Western Union to send them money to send the things through freight to their house as they are in the military and other BS scams. So, admarkt, kijiji and their friends in Nigeria and India and elsewhere are the ones who are loving to take advantage of us. The vulnerable who are trying to make an honest extra buck to pay bills
I got an unfair review on the Kijiji site from a buyer who was not happy with the transaction. I think the review was unfair. The problem is that Kijiji does not allow me to reply back to defend myself, which is unfair. I am switching to Marketplace to sell my stuff. Kijiji got worst over the year.
Kijiji is by far the worst site I've used to advertise, sell and buy anything from! I posted various ads to get the word out about my new services, and they deleted all of them as they were apparently identical. Then, after they deleted nearly all my ads, I checked them and NONE were even close to identical. So I sent in a complaint and thy did nothing to help me. They were unjustified and I am unsatisfied. AWFUL SITE!
Kijiji unethically and in my opinion illegally censors covers up blocks and deletes post and posters that try to post anything negative in regards to there advertisers, specifically in this case Metropolitan Movers who is subcontracting all their work building huge payment tabs with small independent owner operators through out canada and then they just stop acknowledging all phone calls emails ect and don't pay. After searching other sites such as UsedEverywhere and BackPages to name a couple these ads outing Metropolitan as a criminal syndicate are everywhere.
Shame on you kijiji
Worst service every, save yourself the trouble and spend you money else where. Sales person rush you in to making purchases and if you change your made that refuse to give back your deposit or allow you to put the towards the purchase of another item. THIEFS! You a are better off going to Leon's or the brick where the service is much better for your money! Very rude unreasonal staff. Would never shop there again not even if items were selling for a penny!
There was once a time that kijiji was a great site. It was a staple for a lot of us but now there is so much spam scam and ads that it slows my computer to a standstill. I wont be using kijiji anymore. I $#*!ing hate it
THIS is the worst that I have ever had to deal with I have tried 6 times and my wife also tried several times with out success. I believe they should get new management to devise an easier way to do this or sell out to some one who knows how to make this better
