Kijiji Selling Safety Guidelines


Kijiji recommends selling your items using our website and conducting transactions in person only.

We do not recommend dealing with users who:

  • Contact you about posting your ads on their website.
  • Offer to sell your items for you (usually for a fee).
  • Offer any kind of consignment service or other similar services.

Kijiji cannot verify the legitimacy of these users, nor can we guarantee that they are not fraudulent.


Meeting Safely

When meeting a buyer in person, sellers should follow these precautions:

  • Meet in a public place: Preferably a busy area such as a café, shopping center, or police station parking lot.
  • Cash transactions: Check all bills carefully to ensure they are genuine before handing over your item.
  • Electronic payments: Confirm that the funds have been successfully transferred and received in your bank account before giving the item to the buyer.
    • Be aware that fraudulent buyers may attempt to send fake payment confirmation emails or set up payments that appear legitimate but have not actually deposited funds.


By following these guidelines, sellers can reduce the risk of fraud and have a safer experience when using Kijiji.
