Policies for Paid Category Listings on Kijiji
Listings in paid categories are subject to additional rules to ensure fair usage of Kijiji’s posting system and to maintain a trusted marketplace for buyers and sellers.
These policies are designed to prevent misuse of listing fees, reduce duplicate or misleading ads, and ensure each listing accurately represents a single item or service.
1. One Item Per Listing Rule
Each ad may only contain one item in applicable categories.
This includes:
- One passenger vehicle
- One recreational vehicle
- One piece of heavy equipment
- One rental unit
- One job posting
In some categories, multiple related services may be included in a single ad, provided they are relevant to the selected category and clearly described.
2. Listing Fees Are Non-Transferable
When a Listing Fee is required:
- The fee applies only to the original listing
- Fees cannot be transferred to another ad or item
- Each individual item requires its own separate listing and fee (where applicable)
3. No Post-Payment Item Swapping
Ads cannot be edited or modified to replace the originally listed item with a new one after posting.
This includes situations where:
- The original item is sold or rented shortly after posting
- A seller attempts to replace it with a different item within the same listing
Each item must be posted as a new ad to ensure fair and transparent billing.
4. Multiple Account Use Is Prohibited
Creating or using multiple accounts to avoid listing fees or posting limits is strictly prohibited.
Kijiji actively monitors for attempts to bypass payment requirements, and violations may result in account restrictions or suspension.
