OLX was better before, now is losing its qualities.
As long as you will just post free ads it ok, but be aware when you want to purchase the so called GOLD to boost your add.
Whether you do it through Gcash, Cebuana or whatever.
I pad for the add at cebuana, with a receipt, to boost my add, it is now going to two weeks they have not boosted my add.
First they started giving some excuses that my payment was not received, i proved them wrong y proving the receipt, now they jump to another excuse that they have a bug in their system.
A bug for almost two weeks? Are you proving that your system is not secured? Before you take peoples payments you should prove that their payment is secured.
I used to pay to boost my adds, used to be a loyal olx customer, but they turned me into a disappointed customer i wish they will have a better competitor

Scam scam scam
May 27, 2019

There are these few people on olx who tell you that they want to buy stuff from you. Ask your number. And then they tell you that they'll phone pe you. And they send some link. As soon as you accept their money instead of crediting our account se money gets deducted. And when we tell them to credit it back he again sends the link and takes away all the money from our bank.

He mentions himself to be a part of indian army.

+91 ******* ******* That's the number of the person who agrees to but stuff from you

******* ******* this is the number of the person in who's number we have to phone pe.

This has happened to a lot of people.

Last week my friend lost 80k from his account

Mpin is supposed to be used only when we have to make any payments.

You have a lot of followers. If possible please let the general public to be aware cause this is happening to almost everyone around. This way we can help other people from getting scammed.

The recent makeover of the OLX website is a move in the wrong direwction. A few cute images sprinkled here and there awful navigation and worst than all - epilepsy inducing flickering and on/off repetition of the datk blue headband. No concept of inclusive design!

Very bad change
June 29, 2017

I like to buy and sell things and use OLX and Gumtree. OLX is now unusable due to the $#*! location search function, I am unable to search the entire country or even the next town without having to change my location. This is an huge inconvenience and I would now rather just stick with Gumtree.

Literally a Haven for scammers, 8 year olds and literally the mods abuse their Powers and are corrupt, I mean like you can't even post a photo that's not from real life because they'll take it down so if you basically are selling something that's packed in already you can't sell it you need to take it out and take a photo for it otherwise they'll say no ig

Goodluck with selling anything on that website because they deleted my account very quickly

Sent olx an e-mail complaining of the new format. Standard reply. It's gone down really bad in my estimation. But they won't admit the huge mistake they made. And what's with the childish icons? FFS

What a shame... OLX used to be an efficient, highly effective, user-friendly, web platform for buying and selling. In a number of ways, it's functionality surpassed that of its biggest SA competitor, Gumtree. Unfortunately, however, OLX seems to have lost the plot.
Basic things such as being able to easily switch between local and country-wide searches (among numerous other things) is now a thing of the past. The new 'upgraded' OLX website is neither effective nor convenient to use, and has simply become a huge disappointment.
If OLX stays with its new 'upgraded' format and functionality, I'm done with it. I wonder if OLX senior management has any idea of the extent to which they are alienating their hard-won customer base by imposing on them this cumbersome and frustrating new website format. I suspect that most OLX users (up to this point), will indeed now be switching over to using Gumtree exclusively.
Whoever at OLX is responsible for their new 'upgraded' website and associated customer/user experience really should lose their job over this. They've really screwed up the OLX experience for all by having quite significantly misread what their customer base values in terms of the OLX "user experience."
Adios, OLX... hello, Gumtree!

OLX forces to pay for free listings. Although I wrote to them, several times. They apologize and do the same thing over and over again. Terrible dirty tricks.

You guys took a perfect working app and website and messed it up. Everything worked perfectly. Such a mission to do the search now. Will you ever consider the users opinions regarding this? It's really not user friendly. Revert back to the old one where we can use the search as usual and latest adds.
Everyday i have to go through the same adds. The location search, that's just wrong. I have not seen one good review about the new update. It seems that OLX staff is just encouraging people to use it. I'm a regular user of OLX and this is just bull, really.
So it looks great but that's it. Location search is a no no. I don't want to spend hours scrolling through last weeks adds. The old one showed all the new adds first, and the search option for all provinces was the best.
I don't see the new update anywhere near success. You have failed with the update completely. And last but not least the favorites, why why why? I don't like to struggle with a app or website. Where should i get the degree to operate this App and Website?
Bad bad bad guys.

It is a very good website, where you can buy almost all kind of used products. Only used products are available here. If you are thinking of budget friendly shopping it is the place for you.

Olx is full of brokers, very few posts from owners.
Hope olx will improve in the coming decade.
Once you kick off brokers, you will improve
