Common Kijiji Problems

Why Canadians Are Switching

No ID Verification

Anyone can create an account without verifying their identity, making it easy for scammers to operate.

Ghosting & No-Shows

Users frequently ghost because there's no accountability. Waste your time arranging meetups that never happen.

No Rental Option

Can only buy and sell - miss out on the opportunity to earn passive income by renting your items.
