Comment on Age Verification Is A Windfall for Big Tech—And A Death Sentence For Smaller Platforms
rothaine@lemmy.zip 3 days agoPlenty of people have second-hand items to sell without using fb marketplace.
Where? Craigslist has become a pit. eBay is not cost effective for large items that are expensive to ship.

Don’t know where you are, but Kijiji is absolutely thriving in Ontario. My old man has about 40-50 items up at any given time, and has no problems finding buyers to rotate through his stock, and he is nowhere near a major population centre. I just looked at ads for a city centre and there is a lot available. It is definitely possible to work outside of facebook.

Never heard of Kijiji. Looks to be Canada-only?

You know, I could swear you used to be able to pick countries in it. But all I can find now is kijiji.ca.

Might’ve died because of FB marketplace 😢
