What would you guys say would be the third most popular alternative in Canada to Kijiji or Facebook Marketplace?

Also, what would be the most popular alternative to eBay?

I tried Karrot, a South Korean app, and it seems pretty good - there is a lot of options, and the UI is pretty clean: its not pestered with greasy ads like Meta and Kijiji are.

Other than them, what would be third most popular option to Kijiji and Marketplave excited for federated classified marketplace to become popular in Can

    Used to be owned by PayPal (eBay), but they were bought out a few years ago so I don’t know what it is anymore.

    But given their heavy use of Temu and some other ads, and formerly owned by PayPal, I’m happy to jump ship to something more ethical. And to jump ship to something not connecting with me random ad trackers.

      sigh

      Wow I didn’t know about the ebay/PayPal bit. Looks like they are currently owned by Adevinta. Strange Adevinta don’t have a Wikipedia page, but I’m seeing reports of being owned atleast partially by Blackstone 🤮.

      Guess I will be searching for a replacement too.

      Haven’t seen ads anywhere in so long; I would highly recommend Firefox (librewolf on desktop, ironwolf on android for sane defaults) + ublock origin (its the one that actually works on Firefox based browsers).
