Hello, after trying all the recommendations below, I cannot post anything.
1. First make sure that your Kijiji Application and/or your Webbrowser are updated to the most current version. Many issues are caused by out of date software. 2. Unfortunately, VPN connections can make it significantly more difficult for our systems to verify account activity and maintain the safety of the platform. As a result, some VPN connections may be restricted or may interfere with account access and functionality. Please disable this or use a device that does not have them installed if you continue to have issues.
3. Log out of your Kijiji account 4. Log back in
NOTE: If you are not able to log into Kijiji - power cycle your device - power off - power on Login. This will refresh your connection to Kijiji and give you the best chance for no problems when you log in.
Thank you for reaching out to us. We understand how frustrating it is to have your account flagged or your ads removed, and we appreciate the opportunity to help you resolve this.
To protect our community and ensure a safe marketplace, our security systems automatically flag accounts when session security cannot be verified. This usually happens when automated privacy tools mask your actual location. Because Kijiji relies on accurate location data to display your ads to the right local buyers, masking this information causes our system to default to deleting the ads to prevent potential fraud.
Common Tools That May Cause This Issue:
Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) or proxy software
Web browsers with built-in VPNs or extreme privacy modes (e.g., Brave Browser)
Mobile device settings like Apple’s “Private Relay” or private browsing location masks
Ad blockers, strict firewall rules, or pop-up blocking software
“Safe Browsing” features within certain antivirus programs
Outdated web browsers
Steps to Restore Your Access and Post Successfully:
Disable Anonymizing Software: Turn off any active VPNs, proxies, or location-blocking extensions on your device.
Check Auto-Reconnect: Ensure your VPN or privacy software does not have an “auto-reconnect” setting enabled, as this can silently re-engage the mask while you are browsing.
Verify Your Location & Browser: Reset your browser’s location permissions to reflect your actual location and ensure your web browser is updated to the latest version.
Log In Twice: Once your settings are adjusted, please log out and log back into your Kijiji account at least twice. This registers fresh, updated security logs on our system so we can verify the change.
(Easiest Option) Try an Unrestricted Device: If possible, logging in from a device that does not have VPNs or heavy security software installed is often the quickest way to bypass these technical conflicts.
Once you have completed these steps and logged in twice, please reply directly to this message so our team can re-evaluate your account and help restore your access.
Thank you for your cooperation and patience as we work to keep Kijiji secure for everyone!
If you have updated your browser to the latest version Victor, then I recommend trying to login and post on your Kijiji account. The update should be detected by our filters and allow you to proceed to your account.
I am getting this error when I try to post a new add. “There was an issue posting your ad, please contact Customer Service.” I have tried all the recommended changes presented in other threads on the same topic, with no luck. I still cannot post a new add. Please help me.
So was anything fixed? Did Kijiji actually help you? Or was it just endless deflection? “Rob” loves to copy and paste answers. Such a useful, personable touch!
Hey Rob, I have also followed all the steps to try and resolve this issue but I am having the same problem as well! I have my fingers crossed for a resolution, Its been a while since I’ve used Kijiji but I wanted to give it another try and see the difference from fb marketplace, I’ve never had these issues before!
