- Include your city name in the listing title for maximum local visibility (e.g., "Nike Shoes Size 10 — Toronto")
- Respond within 1–2 hours to buyer messages — Kijiji buyers message multiple sellers and the fastest responder wins
- Set your listing to "pickup only" to filter out time-wasters who aren't local
- Use Kijiji's free photo limit (12 photos) — more photos reduce no-shows significantly
- Price with 10–15% negotiation room built in — Kijiji buyers almost always make an offer
- Always include US, UK, and EU sizing equivalents in your listing title. Size-specific listings get more views than generic ones. Include photos of the sole and any box labels.
What to Expect: Revenue and Timeline
Best for: Bulky items (appliances, furniture, tools), same-day cash sales, zero-fee transactions, items that ship poorly
Typical sale speed: Often within 24–72 hours for in-demand items at fair pricing
Payout: Cash on pickup — instant payment, no fees, no wait
A Pro Box ($149) with a good mix of shoes items typically generates $200–$350 from Kijiji alone, with remaining categories sold on other platforms. Most resellers report recovering their full box cost within the first 5–8 shoes sales.
Seasonal Strategy for Shoes
Footwear sells year-round. Back-to-school (August–September) and holiday gifting (November–December) drive the highest demand.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I resell shoes on Kijiji with no experience?
Yes — the majority of AmazeDeals resellers had no prior experience when they started. Kijiji is one of the most beginner-friendly platforms because listings are simple to create and local cash sales require no shipping knowledge. Start by listing your 3–5 best items from your first box, learn how buyers respond, and scale from there.
How much can I make selling shoes on Kijiji?
Most AmazeDeals resellers who focus on shoes on Kijiji earn 2x–4x their box cost over 2–4 weeks of selling. For a Pro Box ($149), that translates to $300–$600 in gross revenue. Net profit after box cost and no platform fees is typically $150–$450 per box.
Do I need to test shoes items before listing?
For shoes, inspect each item for defects and describe the condition accurately. Honest condition descriptions reduce disputes and protect your seller reputation.
What happens if an item doesn't sell on Kijiji?
If an item hasn't sold within 2 weeks, try: (1) reducing the price by 15–20%, (2) relisting with new photos, or (3) cross-posting to a different platform. As a last resort, bundle slow-moving items into a lot listing. Most shoes items sell eventually at the right price — it's simply a matter of finding the right buyer.
