Ads are mostly misleading. Advertised price rarely corresponds with content of ads. OLX staff never police the 'one ad, one item' rule (multiples of same item allowed). No effort is made to keep ads in correct or even vaguely relevant categories. A search for pets usually brings up real estate, heavy machinery, vehicles etc. A search for anything is a waste of time because the results are rarely relevant. The filter system works for a few pages, then clears itself, so it's useless too. Reporting ads used to work, but now doesn't work - it's less work that way - or at least, less to read if nothing can be reported. And if nothing is being reported, everything must be fine, right?
Not sure whether the staff is too lazy or too stupid to get the site working properly, but either way, they don't get it working properly, they don't enforce their own rules, and the result is a less than adequate experience for potential users.

Compared to OLX India where the rules are enforced, sometimes a bit too strictly, OLX Philippines is a free-for-all with scammers, false advertising and cross-posting galore.
