Kijiji wins in my books, simple to post, and easy to edit. Easy search, and the choice to filter your search to either the posting date or the price.
Kij has the data base, where as cl has the last week of posts.
In a forum on the kij verses cl, one person said it seemed that no matter where they posted if they got a reply asking if item was still available and they replied yes..the email-er seemed to disappear. My tip to them is in your ad write if this ad is still up, the item is still available.

I’ve done a couple of experiments, and here are my results.

First of all, on Kijiji I can search within my city OR my province (I live in Canada). On Craigslist I can only search by city, and on Razza I can only search by province.

I did a search on each of these sites for the potentially ambiguous word “Keyboard". Here are my results.

Kijiji:
2714 Buy and Sell listings in my province and 1412 in my city.

Razzza:
No results in my province.

Craigslist:
67 results in my city.

It’s pretty clear which one people use the most, and really, that’s what matters. You want as many people as possible to see your ad.
The thing is, I think Craigslist is more popular in the US so the results there might be reversed.

Either way, I’ve always used Kijiji and my stuff usually sells within a day or two. It’s free, and not at all complicated.

I never heard about razza. After checking this website, which is almost empty I really doubt it can even be compared with craigslist or kijiji. I never saw it coming on google for any searches I did. Yes it is free, as well as craigslist in Canada and kijiji.
I’m running my own classifieds and I want to give you one advise - don’t put exactly same ads on different websites. You create duplicate content which will not be indexed by google. Modify your ad between different classified websites. That way you get more exposure and more chances to seek your items.

I post a lot on Craigslist and I have purchased a lot of PVAs. I was wondering if I post on kijiji, would I need a lot of email accounts like I do on CL. I know I don’t need PVAs, but I was wondering could I use one email account for several ads?

What is with these names? Kijiji, Razza? Whatever happened to sensible website names like Yahoo or Google? If I’m ever interested in advertising something I’ll do it in my local paper: The Arooooga Times.
