Kijiji Removes iPhone X Ads Over ‘Probability’ of Fraud, Revamps Pre-Sale Rules
With any new iPhone pre-order, there are those who want to sell the device for a markup on online classifieds such as Kijiji.

Early iPhone X pre-order ads on Kijiji have been recently removed, in what Kijiji Canada informs us as because these listings have a “higher probability of fraud”.
@iPhoneinCanada would you happen to know why kijiji is removing ads for the sale of iPhone X’s?

A Kijiji Canada spokesperson said in a statement to iPhone in Canada, “Kijiji does not support a practice that has consumers pay for an item that cannot be possessed by consumers as of yet,” a move to protect members.
Despite the removal of these iPhone X ads, Kijiji Canada has decided to alter their rules towards pre-sale listings with new guidelines, after hearing feedback from users:
- The poster must clearly indicate in the listing that the item is a presale item.
- The poster must include a picture of the pre-order form or receipt.
Kijiji Canada says these new guidelines will soon be outlined in their Help Desk section on their website.
As of writing, iPhone X pre-sale ad listings have re-appeared on Kijiji, at markups of $600-800 CAD over retail.

I hope these clowns get scammed.
People like capitalism, except when it doesn’t work to their advantage 🙂
Unlike these other clowns I actually want the device. Not looking to get it and sell it for a Profit. I’m pissed i have to wait till then end November to get mine.
Or you can just pay us.
Nope. Not paying a Nickel over what its worth. Ill just wait. Heres to hoping you get mugged 🙂
Awe, don’t be bitter sweetheart.
I got 3 coming on Friday and 2 sold for 2K each cash in my hands already. So If you want the 3rd one you’d better act fast:)
Does your seller need anymore? Help a brother out.
I’m selling one cheaper, it’s $1,999.
Dang man don’t under cut me, us Scalpers gotta stick together
Exactly: making profit is part of capitalism. So yeah, you like it, but not now because it doesn’t work at your advantage ?
Which ones, the buyer or seller?
Sellers .
