lew Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I'm gonna be listing some stuff for sale on kijiji and they advertise that it can be kept on the front page for a week for $4.99 on a credit card. I don't normally use credit cards and certainly don't want to give out the number unless I'm absolutely certain about them. They advertise the site is secure but does anyone know for sure ??

fishing n autograph Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 lew you can post for free on kijiji...no need for the credit card, it will sell all the same! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taper Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Lew I agree with fishnautographs, just put a normal free ad in. I have sold a ton of stuff on Kijiji it is a great site. To answer your questions a friend has a small business and uses their paid advertisement and has never had any problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scugpg Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 A normal ad should suffice unless its a rare item that needs lots of attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 You can also bump your stuff by reposting it too. It just takes a little longer but I'm sure time isn't a issue for ya right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted March 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Thanks guys, I've used the site before and am aware it's free but just thought keeping it up front for a week would be better. And your right Chris, time is NEVER an issue for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishing n autograph Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 i wouldn't worry about security. Kijiji is owned by ebay and it's very secure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live2fish85 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 They are secure but as others said just out it on for free people browse kijiji like girls with that facebook lol. So it should sell easy I have sold things off there. Some times it's the people off there you worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lew Posted March 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I listed an excercise bike a few weeks back and within 2 days it was way back on page 3. Things move REALLY fast there sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Live2fish85 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 Yea they always move really fast on there but most people will look through them all and you can re-add the post to the front page I've had lucky with selling thing on the site a few people just being goofs saying they'll pay like a quarter of what your asking but not to many.

Dave Jones Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I listed an excercise bike a few weeks back and within 2 days it was way back on page 3. Things move REALLY fast there sometimes. If someone does a search for an exercise bike then your add will come right up. Just make sure you use specific words like baitcaster or fishing rod or what ever it is that you are selling. Delete and re-post it every few days to make sure you are one of the first adds that comes up. Make sure to take some pics too. People skip right over adds with no pics.

BUSTER Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I just open 2 windows logging to kijiji on both and copy paste my old add to a new one once a wk and it'll go back to the top..but if someone is looking for a specific item say ice auger I choose the ontario button and then search ice auger and it'll bring all them up at once so in that case it don't matter is an item was on pg 100 or page 1..

BUSTER Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 oh and use email dont give your house number out until your sure , you'll get a ton of phone calls from idiots asking questions , for instance I was selling a blue bike and had someone ask what color it was....second ask 20% higher price than you really want, expect low balls, I ALWAYS offer 20% less than asking price, you'd be surprised the people that say ok sure come get it.

NAW Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I sell stuff on Kijiji a few times a year. Sold a guitar amp a few weeks ago. Within 2 weeks I got 2 real replies, and about 6 fake ones that where scams.. You may already know this Lew, but watch out for the scammers out there.. Here's a copy and paste of a few.. They seemed a little fishy to me, so I ignored them.. "Hello Seller, Do you still have the item for sale? What is the last asking price? Send me recent pictures via email for a better look and what is the present condition as well?Mode of payment is Check. Mark." or this one.. "Hi, I'm interested in buying your guitar amp which i will like to know its present condition and the final price that you wish to sell I will be responsible for the pick-up,and my shipping company to do the pick-up from your home to my house,and will be expecting ur respond as i look forward to have a good business relationship with you. my best regards fedrick."

adempsey Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I'd highly recommend just getting a card to use for your online purchases. I have a $500 limit card that I use, so I never really worry much about using it on the net. Never had a problem before either. Having a Paypal account is handy too.
