Kijiji vs Facebook Marketplace vs eBay.ca: Where Canadian Resellers Actually Sell
Share to
Every Canadian reseller has the same argument at some point: Kijiji, Facebook Marketplace, or eBay.ca? The honest answer depends on what you’re moving and how fast you need the cash.
Kijiji still works for local and bulky items
Furniture, appliances, and anything not worth shipping still does well on Kijiji, especially outside major cities where Facebook Marketplace competition is thinner.
Facebook Marketplace has quietly taken over local resale
Reddit threads on r/AskACanadian consistently point to Facebook Marketplace as faster and less scam-prone than Kijiji for everyday items in bigger cities.
eBay.ca wins on searchable, shippable items
Electronics, collectibles, and branded clothing with a model number or size tag reach a national (and cross-border) audience that local marketplaces simply can’t match.
Fees change the math more than people expect
Kijiji and Facebook Marketplace are free to list; eBay.ca’s final value fee runs close to 13%. Factor that into your price floor before you decide where an item belongs.
Wherever you list, ThreadFlip checks eBay, Amazon, and Google Shopping comps first, so the platform decision comes after you know the number, not instead of it.
