How long have Kijiji Classifieds existed?


Search: kijiji

Why: Looking for a new air conditioner online, Zack said, "What? eBay has its own craigslist now?"

Answer: In the U.S., June 29, 2007 - before that, the site was available in Russia, China, and India. Like craigslist (and unlike eBay), posting ads is free, sellers must choose major nearby cities for classification, and Kijiji plays no part in completing sales.

The More You Know: Kijiji means "village" in Swahili. Also, we didn't need a new air conditioner. I cleaned the front grate (for the first time in at least 6 months - probably much longer), and now this place is like the inside of the Ice Bar.
