Kijiji's reputation has significantly declined among users, with many expressing frustration over poor customer service and technical issues. Customers frequently report difficulties in accessing support, experiencing unresponsive help centers, and facing account bans without clear explanations. Additionally, concerns about ad visibility and the prevalence of scams on the platform detract from user experience. Despite some long-term users appreciating the site's historical effectiveness, the overall sentiment leans towards dissatisfaction, particularly regarding paid advertising and the platform's recent updates, which many find cumbersome and ineffective. Users increasingly favor alternatives like Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist for their advertising needs.

Kijiji is not the issue i love it, but the people that buy need to do learn how it work. Like i sold a womens winter jacket to a man for is wife, i come without is wife to buy the jacket then 2 hours later i call me back to get is money back because it to small for is wife. Now is pis that i wont take it back. It not my responsibility to make sure it the good size for her. When you by use clothes from a privates u better make sure it goin to fit, if it doesn't it not the seller faults and as soon as you live whit what you buy it yours.
I'm from california and craigslist is what's used and it's great. I came to MTL in November and learned that craigslist wasn't as good as back home. People came to tell me about kijiji being this great website. Well, My girlfriend and I are trying to move out of our place, we made an ad and have had nothing but problems. We were told the ad was posted and it wasn't we have contacted customer service for help and they told us that kijiji is not the right platform for us to use. WHAT?!?!? This website is wackkkkk. I want to see kijiji crash an burnnn. If I could I would put no stars. Any other sites out there like craigslist and kijiji that isn't full of spam?
This seller sucks. Will not honor sale. Do not do business with this seller.
Seller cancelled the order without reason after my credit card was run to reserve the payment amount.
Horrible search options, there's no option to view according to the most relevant, or price high to low etc.
The spam adds for multiple locations and search words spam all over the results. For example, when searching for "Coffee table" in Toronto, out of 20 results, 10 are spam ads repeating themselves for weeks.
Many many more flaws that I have no time to mention.
What happened? I used Kijiji all the time, now I just cannot be bothered.
What happened to our wonderful Kijiji site?
This service since eBay has taken over has gone nowhere else but DOWNHILL. Most of the Canadian reps/service personel are on a power trip in cancelling some postings that don't agree with them. The staff are "Legends,... in their own minds"!
There are many other alternatives,. Just Google to find out.
Difficult to find posts from regular people and NOT business. Same ads from same businesses every page. All out of my area. Ads from ebay... Is this joke? Was a good site for years but now is very bad. I dont use it anymore
What has happened to Kijiji? It use to be a good site and now it sucks So slow and it never finishes loading. Have to keep refreshing over and over
You list something and ten minutes later its on page five and a day later its on page 30? Because the greedy day holes can't stop spamming the sight with their nonsense and I'm talking these greedy corporate pigs that have more money coming out their day holes, but have to monopolize a sight where people are trying to sell things. Shoppers Drug Mart is a fine example of a billion dollar corporation totally monopolizing page after page, like the greediest drug lord
How does kijiji justify there fees in the car section. They just keep going up and up its getting out of hand. Borderline RAPE
Bought wisnter tires off kijiji called road cruza. Great price and amazing service they were very quick to meet me and super nice. I'd recommend them to anyone who is looking for winter Tires at a good price and good quality
The kijiji turn bad, cause It doesn't make a difference, or a control, between the individual and the professional use.
My first time to place a bunch of items for sale in Kijiji. Bad decision, Kijiji is full of buyers that are liars and a-hole. Bunch of chicken $#*! all talk no action. They promise to come pick it up and make you wait some do not call not coming, some call when time has already past that they do not want it anymore. I should do that as a buyer see what other people feel.
I used to put free ads on Kijiji and get replies. Now they made it hard. I have tried Promote My Ads and paid hundreds of dollars now. The results are bad no replies. Waste of money. Ebay and Kijiji doing down hill.
I've written numerous times to the Admin staff at Kijiji, to ask them to actually go in an look at the ads some of these idiots post online. If someone can't tell the difference between "Wanted" and "For Sale" do you really want to deal with them. I mean seriously, if you want to sell a table or other item, why do you put it in the "wanted" section. Idiots.
Kijiji is outdated now, and there are many better options available. Whomever they have operating their site should be fired immediately, and replaced with a 14 year old who actually knows how to build a functioning website. Trying to place an ad, or browse an ad is just too slow and time consuming now. I don't see this company operating much longer if they continuously ignore the concerns of their users. I agree, several years ago the site was much better; but now it's just tedious. They deserve to go under, and the idiots who work there should put in a resume at Starbucks.
Kijiji is one of the worst websites to navigate. It is so slow. The page continuously needs to reload. It is so frustrating, that you give up. Way too many advertisers. Kijiji got greedy. People, stop placing ads on Kijiji and go to Craigslist. Easy and pleasurable to use. More filters. And no ads!
Been trying to sell household goods. Haven't sold a thing in months. Nothing but time wasters on Kijiji. I only use Varagesale now. Kijiji is a useless for a busy person who values time.
Kijiji used to be fast and easy to navigate. Lately its website is almost unusable! Extremely slow with constant redirects to ad pages you don't want. What good is it if you can't browse easily on it to find what you want?
Been trying to sell some quality stuff for awhile now. I keep getting replies from people who are interested in buying, but then flake out the day of the meetup, happened 3 weeks in a row from different people. Its often people using different alias's but try to slowly ask for lower prices each time. Its always been a chore trying to sell things on kijiji in general.
Complete waste of time.
I've never seen a website decline as quickly as Kijiji has over the last 12 months. Its a ghost site now... all the buyers have been driven away by endless ads and scam artists... lol... Exactly what happen to ebay.
