eBay owns Kijiji.

I seem to recall that Ebay was going to be cross posting listings from Ebay to Kijiji. Probably a good thing if it raises exposure to sellers and buyers.

Promoting eBay listings on kijiji was announced at the start of the year.

The potential buyer if interested has to go to eBay to purchase.

 

I like the idea. More eyes looking, perhaps some sales.

Also good if it's an item you don't want to ship but have local pick-up only.  Something large, perhaps.

I also like the idea if it can bring more sales. I wish mine would show up. Maybe they do, I did not look. But seeing my sales dropped lately, even though I use every promotion tool available, I think they don't show up there.

I can understand ebay putting our items on Kijiji if we offer free pickup. I have no problem with that.

Is there a way of posting on Kijiji that references the Ebay items for sale? or is it in the hands of Ebay and they decide what to cross post.

I have several ads running on kijiji that show local people what I sell and then direct them to my ebay store for purchase, I've been doing this since 2012 with proven results. The ads are a bonus, I'm fully in favour of them. I don't sell stuff to people who simply show up on my doorstep, all sales must go through ebay checkout for everyone's safety and security.
