Kijijis

Kijiji is a Canadian online classified advertising service. It is owned by eBay and operates as a standalone entity. The name "Kijiji" is derived from the Swahili word for "village." The platform allows users to buy and sell goods and services within their local communities.

The website is organized into various categories, including for sale, housing, jobs, services, community, and personals. Users can browse listings by location or search for specific items. Kijiji also provides tools for users to create their own advertisements, upload photos, and communicate with other users through a messaging system.

Kijiji was launched in March 2005 and has since become one of the most popular classified advertising websites in Canada. It operates in numerous cities and regions across the country. The service is free to use for most listings, with some paid promotional options available for businesses or individuals looking to increase the visibility of their ads. The platform aims to facilitate local commerce and community connection by providing a platform for people to easily find what they need or offer what they have within their immediate vicinity.
