I am trying to locate good online resources for thrifting and freecycling items, and have had some tips for good resources that I put into a list. I found out about Kijiji yesterday, but other than Wikipedia entries (and the sites branding-oriented info), I know little.

If anyone knows, I’d love to get some more information regarding Kijiji.

  • Is it frequently used by Canadians for classified ads regarding second hand?
  • Is there a more popular option?
  • Is it fequently used for free items/freecycling?
  • Is it moderated or unmoderated?
  • It seem to be free to post ads, but they charge for increased visibility.

Thank you in advance.

    Thank you for the input. I’ll add it to Kijiji to the list.

    The reason I haven’t added Facebook Marketplace to the list is because Iand the people around me (in Sweden) have had bad experiences with it. More scammers, creeps, last-minute-hagglers, no-shows and thieves.

      Definitely agree. I am not a fan of marketplace. My worst experiences selling things has been on marketplace, so I dont blame you for not adding it. Unfortunately where I am thats where most people buy things. Id love a better alternative.
