If you have ever used kijiji to buy or sell stuff online, I'd like to know if you have had any bad experiences that stand out in your mind. I have a friend who has had his own share of dealing with people on that site & 2 in particular stand out as both were really bad experiences. He went to buy a used door with the measurements posted in the ad, but he didn't bother to measure the door for himself as he trusted the seller. Turns out, those measurements were wrong & he was stuck with this useless door that he had to try & sell himself now, which took him over a month & he accepted half what he paid for it, just to get rid of it. Then there was the time he sold alot of stuff listed to 1 interested buyer who wanted all he had to sell, which was $185. worth of stuff. With that 1 tho, he got screwed again as this scam artist was doing an e-transfer to him thru his email & actually showed the transaction of the money being transferred to him, so he left. But by the time he got home & logged in to his email, the money transfer was gone. He tried calling & emailing this guy a dozen X with no reply. Obviously, this scam artist knew exactly what he was doing & musta done it before. My buddy didn't know that you can cancel an e-transfer if you change your mind the same day, which, obviously, this scammer knew of & did.
