Kijiji is a little terrifying.

For any of you who aren't cheapskates who like to avoid the hassles and bullshit that accompany trying to sell anything on eBay, I'd like to introduce Kijiji. The cheap bastard's way of posting classifieds.

I sold my old car on there once. It seems like an easy option. I mean - who reads the real newspaper anymore? I don't. (Then again I avoid all news for that matter, so maybe lots of folks read the paper and I am just incredibly out of touch...)

I just tried to post a wanted ad, and lo and behold the f_ckers deleted my ad. And it wasn't even because I was seeking this:

Never underestimate the power of punctuation. And my crazy, overtired imagination. (Anyone else picturing zombie babies? No? Just me?)



Kijiji and eBay just piss me off.

Oh, happy easter bunny crucifixion day, too. Don't want to be rude and overlook that.

    1. @Althea - My ads show up for 411 and other searches I've used in the past. I think Google tries to tailor them to things it THINKS you are interested in. It is often wrong.

      p.s. No one clicks on my ads, but I didn't want to put a Paypal donate button. lol.

    1. @J.Day - Or at least makes selling blood on Kijiji less confusing. But not less disturbing.

  3. Joyeuses Pâques to you as well.

    At the very least, they could have put a possessive apostrophe for the "Baby Walkers' Blood." :P But, no. Not even that...

  10. Bloody baby walkers are among the least unusual things I've seen on Kijiji. I've got a whole web site full of 'em -- at yousuckatkijiji.com ... but as for the ad deletion, sometimes their filters grab things the wrong way. If they killed your ad for the wrong reason, they're generally really good about putting it back up if you get in touch with them through the link in the email they send.
