    I hate kijiji

    Little rant. I am selling some mustang parts. Have 4 separate people saying they are coming to pick up parts this morning, so I reschedule my day to make sure I am around. NOT EVEN ONE showed up. This is after me confirming with each of them last night that they were still coming. Kijiji seriously needs a trader rating system to provide at least some sort of accountability

    Its the people not kjiji. Had the same thing with Facebook. They say they will come and then nothing. I tell them to text or call me now, if they are coming on the scheduled day or time. That way I don't wait around for them and do what I have to do.

    You’re right, however the same people buy and sell in other marketplaces where there are rules and trader feedback, and they have a lot more integrity in those situations because they know that if their rating is low no one will do business with them. I suppose the real issue is that a man/women’s word means nothing anymore.

    Sorry things turned out shitty- just bad round of buyers this time around. I’ve always had success selling on kijiji from rims, camera lens , even billiard cues. I schedule a Tim Horton’s meet one I’ll be around that day wait 20-30 mins max if they are late- otherwise I’m gone. You are the seller - let them rearrange their day

    Same here. My system... I tell them what street I am on. I also tell the buyer's when I'll be home and to call or text before coming over so I can give them the street number.

    I love buying on kijiji because there are deals to be had and most people are willing to keep their word if it means they are getting handed money. I find selling on kijiji is either dealing with a bunch of no shows, or receiving ridiculous trade offers. “I see your asking price is $1900, will you take a used unicycle with one flat tire and 4 bald snow tires on trade?” Lol

    I also like Kijiji because it's free but when I deal with a Kijiji buyer I either ask them to send me min. $20 e-transfer before we meet up or ask them to send a picture of the Canadian Tire near me where we will meet up and I won't leave the house till that picture is sent.
