Selling in olx & Quickr

Hi Guys

whenever i put an item for sale in Quickr such as Nexus 4, Playstation vita, I am getting mails from guys who say they wanted it to be gifted to their children in Nigeria (this time an Indian), it also looks like a pre formatted text (may be their english is good :p )

One guy has even given the complete address for shipping by DHL and asking me how he can pay me. Please let me know how should i proceed on this.

That's scam scam scam. They themselves mention in their buying-selling tips.
quickr and olx are only good to sell things in person. IMO, they are providing pretty good platform to advertise your sale locally. I was successfully able to sell some of my blu-rays locally in person.
One more thing, do not post your contact number in your ad. Let respective buyers contact you via email.
 
Hahaha,i remember when i got the email...I went about having a nice chat with him!
He asked me to send my bank details,and i said i don't need money so you take it for free as a gift from me...lol
He didn't reply after that :lol:
 
quickr is the worst site i came across in a decade. Misuses ur identity to create fake ads on their own. And b@stards even justify it saying its their policy to get better options to customers. WTH !!!!
 
Got this mail lol...Can't we report this kinds of fraud anywhere

quickr is pure scam site.. had posted ads 4-5 times and everytime I get 2-3 scam mails for the ad.
whereas had a good experience with olx.. successfully sold stuff via it..
 
yes quikr auto creates an advt with the mobile number and sends them as alerts to the dealers who in turn call and speak rudely and if we say we dont want to sell them they get boiled
 
I created a new OLX account yesterday and listed something. Now the problem is that whenever i login to my olx account, even after signing in, at the top it still shows

Sign In or Register

If i go to My OLX, it again asks for id and password. I am ticking the remember me option.

Also if i go to Active ads, pending ads etc, nothing comes up but separately i can search for my ad.
 
Can anyone tell me how to find the reason for ad rejection ? One of my ads shows as rejected on olx and on the mobile app I am unable to find why it has been rejected.
 
Very educational. People joke that this guy was taken for a ride. But the smartest people out there can be conned easily. All you do is get them to stop using their brains and work on emotions. Its easy & works most every time especially when the mark is desperate.

I have a friend in the construction business and he's been in it for over twenty years and he tells me he still learns new tricks every month.

There is a business above me and i hear the guy scream at suppliers for not delivering on their promises. He's stuck because he's made commitments to customers and cannot deliver. This is life in business when the stakes are in crores and not a mere 7k.

A man who makes a mistake is worth two guys who did not make that mistake.
