Kijiji

IM AFRAID THAT KIJIJI IS NO LONGER AN EFFECTIVE SELLING PLATFORM LIKE IT USED TO BE. LOTS OF LOOKERS BUT NO BUYERS. WHY? I THINK COVID HAS DESSIMATED THE MARKETPLACE. PEOPLE LOSING THEIR JOBS, WORKING PART TIME LEADS TO NO DISPOSABLE INCOME. THATS THE REASON! NOT ALL THE REASONS THEY GIVE YOU AS TO WHY THE SALES ARE SO SLOW IF NON EXISTENT. THIS IS NOT KIJIJIS FAULT BUT THE CONDITION OF THE ECONOMY. ONLY TIME WILL CHANGE THAT.

Kijiji used to be a place you could go to find people who had something surplus to sell. Now it is page after page of full-priced retailers selling new stuff. You have to wade through pages of "flyer-type" ads which just are trying to drag you into their store. Wasting lots of time.
I still post for selling but it takes a long time to find your own ad for checking purposes because of all the retail ads.

Fun site, quick loading times, a lot of terrible ads, and a few genuinely nice ones. Do you want a 2002 Range Rover for under $5,000? Not the place to look for one. It's a great site, I don't understand why people hate it. It's not that the business is corrupt, it's the people who post their ads that are. You must be seriously crazy like Meleene J.
The site is fine.

I've registered a few months ago, and have sold a few items. I've been prank replied to some of my ads, but have sold a few items. Kijiji itself is a decent site-They even provide ten free ads, which is great; However, if the pranksters are many and they prank a lot, this a big problem and hurts the site badly.

There are also people who contact a seller, but then suddenly stop replying.

A recent bad experience, was a seller who sold me a faulty item. I tried calling the police (as advised by Kijiji), but I was told they don't deal with monetary issues. I was told I'd have to call a lawyer. Therefore, buying expensive items is a bad idea.

I have learned a few things to watch out for. Don't meet after hours (dark) never ever send cash or a chech without receiving ur goods. If the Deal Sounds to go to be true it's more than likely a Scam, just B careful and aware Not everyone is as honest as U are! Now on a positive Note I have bought some VERY Cool unique stuff, and sola items as well on Kijiji they have everything from diamonds to baby-sitters awesome variety. It's also buyer beware as Kijiji usi NOT in anyway responsible for anything from stuff bought, sold to theft should it occur. Just be SMART, safe with UR purchasing.

Kijiji can be hit and miss the key seems to be patience and excellent interpersonal and communication skills ( many people lack these assets). Be advised that posting your email address or telephone number on these type of websites can result in that information being collected by various con artists and or telemarketing agencies. If someone makes and offer that seems to good to be true... It very well might be a Phishing scam. Overall be careful when using "bulletin board" style 'buy sell and trade' websites.

Kijiji used to be Canadian website a place you could go to find people who had something want to sell locally you can pick it up or even use shipping but now have advertising for Chinese seller.
This service since eBay has taken over has gone nowhere but down. We want our old website back.

I am in Kijiji more then 8 years still great some how of reverse mode yes
Also some of costumers are very cheap and they want something for free even new item for sale they offer less then 1/4 Quarter of current price in store be fair commmmm
And If you want the Saler to reply to you don't low ball fair price be ok Kjij still the best yes its hard to satisfy every one and if you don't like kjiji go some where else no one force you...

When I try to look for travel trailers with NO BUNKS I am shown all trailers with no exclusion of bunk models and at times it appears bunk models are the only thing shown.

Some services advertised on Kijiji are not reliable, since there is no control on what is advertised and no way to get a reviews or references on these services. I used Kijiji to search for moving companies and when I found one they delivered most horrible moving services demanding twice more than we have agreed with these company before.

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)
