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.
I have had mostly good interactions on Kijiji. In Canada a lot of the sites have regional popularity. Before the dreaded (FB) marketplace stole the market… Craigslist was popular in Vancouver, UsedVictoria in Victoria, Kijiji - Canadawide but fading in some smaller communities. There are other Used(City) sites but UsedVictoria is the most active.
