Yeah, Kijiji is so hit or miss. I've seen it from both sides though and often sellers are complete a-holes over simple mistakes. As a seller, yes it blows, (not picking on your conversation specifically) but during the Raptors playoff run I was 100% buying a jersey off Kijiji.
Problem is I was super busy and there were lots of ads (something most Kijiji sellers forget). I got one ad mixed up with another in my haste, but was still likely buying this one as it was the best of the bunch. Asked what size before buying, as of the two best options one had a size one didn't.
Oh boy, I messaged the guy with size in the description and he went off! Probably trying to create one of those amazing Kijiji screencaps for social media that people love so much.
Problem is I had decided on his provided it was a large, and he had overpriced slightly $90, but I was fine, I wanted it. He basically told me off in no uncertain terms for being a typical stupid Kijiji buyer that doesn't look at the whole ad. That was a sale for him, guaranteed, I was getting it.
It felt good to see it still on there after the Raptors won the championship for a reduced $70 and that point probably never sold.
