Are you looking to buy and sell your used stuff online to make some extra cash?

Kijiji is the go-to online marketplace in Canada when you are looking to buy things for cheap or sell your old belongings.

However, while many see it as the Canadian Craiglist alternative, it is not the only buy-and-sell website in Canada.

There are other sites like Kijiji that work just as well, including the likes of Craigslist, Oodle, and Facebook marketplace.

Sites Like Kijiji in Canada

Listed below are the most popular alternatives to Kijiji for buying and selling used things quickly.

1. Facebook Marketplace

Facebook is more than just a platform for you to chat with friends and post your interesting photos.

It also has an online marketplace to buy and sell goods in your local community.

To sell an item on Facebook Marketplace, simply take a photo of the item and upload it. Add a name, description, price, and location, and post it for people to view.

You can sell all kinds of things, including cars, clothing, toys, furniture, electronics, handmade goods, jewelry, pet supplies, and baby items.

2. Amazon Marketplace

Amazon has a marketplace where third-party individuals and companies can list and sell products to Amazon customers.

The products you list for sale can be new or used. Amazon takes a percentage of the price when an item is sold.

There are hundreds of categories of things you can sell on Amazon, including books, clothes, beauty tools and accessories, electronics, jewelry, office products, toys, games, and more.

If you plan on making a business out of this gig, you use Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA) to maximize your business by letting Amazon do the heavy lifting.

    HI there! Great list, but you missed us! On Vancouver Island we use Used.ca (UsedVictoria.com, UsedNanaimo.com, etc.) And unlike Kijiji or FB Marketplace, we’re owned and operated in Canada 🙂 We do have sites right across Canada and a mobile app.

    No longer valid advice about Amazon. Unless you want to get a permanent ban on Amazon, do not do it. Back then, 3 or 5 or 10 years ago it was possible, but it’s no longer the case, in particular no longer the case for new sellers. As a reseller, you need to have a commercial invoice to sell. And no receipt from your retail store is not an invoice. You may get away with it for a while but sooner or later, either A) overzealous Amazon bots or B) nasty competitors will try to shut you down. When that happens, Amazon will put your account on hold and ask you to provide proof that you comply with TOC. Rule #1 of Amazon TOC is you need to have a commercial invoice or permission in writing from the manufacturer or distributor, or you need to be the maker of your product. The only area where the old rules still apply is books, as long as you do not sell books as new (regardless of the condition, it can be even shrinkwrap new, you still can’t sell it as new, unless you have the proper paperwork. I am lashing out at the author of this article e because it is misleading in terms of the Amazon advice and it may unnecessarily cause disappointment to new sellers who reading this to self-educate. Amazon is the last platform you should try after you master all others.

    I’d also recommend checking out GiveRise.ca! It’s Canadian, women-owned and it’s different from others in that every item sold supports a Canadian nonprofit or school! It’s basically like Etsy or kijiji but the seller donates all of or a portion of their sale to good causes across Canada 🙂
