My wife has bought a lot of baby items off it.
I've listed some stuff which actually sold through kijiji.
So I guess it depends on your targeted buyers.
But yeah market place seems okay. Easy to use.

Refuse to use Kijiji anymore it's pathetic now the trolls on it. I put an Xbox and PS4 on fb market, sold in 15 mins each for asking, no tire kickers.

I bought my dirtbike off a Facebook marketplace last winter... I trust it more than kijiji as it’s harder to scam a guy.

It seems pretty good, have done lots of selling in the individual FB groups. Wife is constantly buying and selling baby stuff with good success.

great tool to use and have bought several items myself. Only complaint I have is that it can tend to fill your newsfeed a fair bit especially women's clothing!

I use it quite often.... Sold my Ford, bought and sold a genny, bought F350 rims (need to sell them now, no longer have the truck) Bought furniture. Jacky has her own Esthetics company, working out of Langdon. I promote her business as much as I can, help friends with theirs. etc, etc.....

The one thing I do like about it, is that I can creep your profile, to see if you are legit or a scammer.
I also don't give out my address or phone # until the day of transaction. And I ask this, so I can put the dog away!

I still use kijijijijiji a bit, but using FB a LOT more.
Also helps when friends like what you are selling :beer: :)
