What is Konga?

Konga.com is a Nigerian e-commerce company founded in July 2012 with headquarters in Gbagada, Lagos State. It offers a third-party online marketplace, as well as first-party direct retail spanning various categories including consumer electronics, fashion, home appliances, books, children’s items, computers & accessories, phones and tablets, health care and personal care products. The company also has logistics service (KXPRESS), which enables the timely shipment and delivery of packages to customers.
What is Jiji?

Jiji is an African online marketplace that provides buyers and sellers with an avenue to meet and exchange goods and services.

Jiji was founded in 2014 by Anton wolyanksy, jiji started as jiji blog providing visitors with information on business, technologies, entertainment, lifestyle tips, life stories, news , it has grown and expanded into five (5) african countries; Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, Ghana, Tanzania.
Jiji Vs Konga – Differences and Similarities

Although marketplaces and classified ads have similarities, the main differences is the way they handle transactions. Jiji as a classified marketplace does not process transaction between buyers and sellers. They only use their platform as a meeting point between the buyer and the seller, whereas Konga operates a different business model, they process payment of the transactions through their platform, this means when you buy a product from konga, you are not dealing with a vendor, you are dealing with Konga directly, they take part in the transactions , thus increasing their liability.

Konga has not found an effective way of vetting vendors on their platform, some of their vendors are scammers, same goes with jiji, although jiji makes customers liable for their transactions, konga on the otherhand takes up the responsibility, this has soiled the brand of konga over the years.

Lots of customers have expressed gross displeasure at the products sold by konga, they are either fake or substandard, in statistics, almost 4 out of every konga products delivered are fake or substandard , this is a real eyesore.

It has led to the emergence of ecommerce startups like Djt Smart Accessories, making trust , reliablility and what you order is what you get their priority.

Obviously konga is safer but you can get sweeter deals on jiji, just that it's not safe
You shouldn't be comparing the two, one is pure e commerce(konga) while the other(jiji) is p2p consumer to consumer.
You should be comparing jumia and konga, but jumia is obviously the biggest and best in Nigeria.
Jiji has the potential to the the best, if they can adapt some features from eBay(which would reduce fraudulent sellers) but they are just after money.

It's like this op was paid to badmouth Konga. I've used both Jumia and Konga and i can say confidently that Konga is better and more organized than Jumia

So, it's Jiji that most people complain about being scammed there that is now safe abi?

In case you're not aware, there's a return policy on Konga. You don't get scammed there.

Please if you want to advertise your business, do it without badmouthing others. Thank you.

BTW, I'm not a Konga staff, just a loyal customer.

Op was paid to tarnish Konga. At least with the return policy, u are sure of getting back ur money if u are displeased with an item purchased.

How smart can you get esepcialy a platform that doesn't have a return money policy to curtail scammers. Once you send the money, it is as good as gone if the seller is fake. And most sellers want the money to be paid before delivery especially on Interstate purchase.

Apples and oranges comparison as a few have pointed out.

As a former seller on Jiji, I'm AMAZED how people keep harping on scammer sellers. My own experience is criminals and idle people posing as buyers and frustrating sellers. I have been defrauded ₦87,000 in 2019 by fake transfer. Somebody has bought my lens, from afar, used it and tried to claim it was faulty for a refund. I still have his meaningless video I required him to make to show the problem.

The Jiji concept is the best. Jiji is just a useless, criminally minded, incompetent, avaricious company. They stole my ₦18,000 subscription by blocking my account because I took them on as they were allowing above mentioned people frustrate my life. There was Tradestable and Olx in the past. Jumia and Konga are for new items.

In the end, the scammers are Nigerians; it's not about buyer ir seller. Our people are not a decent, upright people by their very nature, and you all hate me for saying it without stop. I've been saying it before some of you were born, but I get lectured online by small boys who have no clue what's happening.

If there's an alternative to Jiji, I need to know because even nairaland is a worse disaster for selling items. It us tough to be a sensible person in this country

Seems u deal in tech products, u did sell faster on Instagram, especially when your 'niche' isn't over saturated.

Just boost ur following a little, and with the right targeting you did get it right. It may be costly at the onset but u did see results

Yeah I have used jiji in the past , but something i don't like about a big company like jiji, they don't offer a free option for a long period of time. That's why I searched and came a website where anyone can post free ads for long enough, no payment required.. Nomaloo Nigeria has offered a huge opportunity for sellers and buyers to dive in the marketplace.
