All you forum dwellers probably remember the times before Carousell was founded, and how we all bought and sold stuff on forums. Many forums also have a reputation system, which was an indicator of the 'lao jiao' forum-ers - those that tend to be steady and trusted to deal with. I remember there were some unspoken rules when it came to buying and selling stuff online: 1. As the buyer wants the item, the responsibility lies with him to make his way to meet at the seller's convenience by default. 2. A good seller will honour a deal he has made, i.e. a better offer made after a deal has been set will be rejected (even though the seller stands to lose out). 3. You don't 'aeroplane' people. 'Aeroplaning' - which is sort of translated from '放飞机' in Chinese - is tantamount to what we know as 'ghosting' today, when you stop replying someone out of the blue. 4. 'Lowballers' (those who offer a price significantly below what has been listed), 'aeroplane pilots' and other unsavoury types of behaviours are often called out, shamed and frowned upon. These days, I find I am increasingly encountering all kinds of ridiculous people on Carousell, which I use quite a bit to sell my barangs. In fact, I don't remember it being so bad back when the app was first introduced... It might be due to the anonymity, or the fact that creating new accounts is so easy. There are plenty of 'lowballers' who have the cheek to offer half of the asking price. Then, there are people who do not honour a deal that has been made. Or stop replying flat out when in the midst of a deal - and worst yet, after you have made your way to their location... While there's nothing much I can do, it just makes me wonder what has changed. In my opinion, the online buying and selling experience has deteriorated so much that I often find myself devoid of energy to deal with it, sometimes it seems like tossing the item in the bin would be a better option than to try to recoup some money by selling it online. So, what about you? Do you have a set of rules that you live by when dealing online? - Zhi Xuan

Do you know that MCF has a group page on Facebook for you to share/post your USED items? Find us at MCF Marketplace on Facebook! Please note that it is only for the posting and sharing of Used Car Parts & Accessories. I would also recommend you to post your used items first on MCF Marketplace, then use the 'share function' to reach out to more car owners on Facebook (who could be MCF Users and non MCF users). This makes it easier to consolidate and track all your ads + share out to other groups as well! For the sharing function, if it's not working for you, please check your 'pop-up ads' blocker. Thank you!

Hi bros and sis here. I'm looking to sell my car well actually toying with the idea for now. So I would like to ask if you are planning to sell your vehicle, which platform do you go to? I am not rushing to sell it so I am ok with the idea of selling it off myself even if it will take a little more time. I know that currently the ad fees for sgcarmart is now $58 till you sell off your car. I think it used to be $48 for 6 weeks only. $58 seems ok if it means being able to post till it's being sold. But, if it's unsold are you able to get back the ad fees? Haha.. And after sometime will my ads be pushed down by newer ads? Hope some bros can clarify some of my doubts as I think all of you are much more familiar with how the system works. Also.. Carousell has been my preferred platform to sell off my used stuff etc and it is relatively effective! I have seen many car ads on Carousell as well, and there is Carousell Motor. Carousell and Carousell Motor they are not the same platform? Do you need to pay to advertise there, and how does it work? Honestly I think Carousell is a good platform to sell of my unwanted stuff but not so sure about using it to sell my car. Lowballers, have to entertain messages on PM and honestly it looks quite confusing. For eg if i type Mitsubishi Lancer there are rental ads, car parts for mit lancer appearing etc. Are the younger generations using Carousell to sell off their cars now? Whats your preferred choice now?

Would be an interesting additional channel for ecommerce. But as a consumer, I'm not sure if I want a business owner to have access to what is publicly available on my profile... double edge sword really.

Should make sellers of rims enter: 1. Width 2. Offset 3. Weight in addition to the current PCD and Size.

consider implementing alert like: Alert me when rims with: PCD 5x108, Size 17" are put on sale in Marketplace. the current alert can only be set for items already on sale and only when changes are made to those items. would be useful if can be alerted when the type of things we are interested in are put on sale, ie. push notifications, instead of us having to go and search all the time.

Hi, Hope the Admins and Seniors can help to explain to how post personal ad at marketplace and not get deleted. I find the guidelines are too general and people might unknowingly cross the line. So far I got 2 ads being deleted due to violation of rules, but the items I am trying to clear are from my personal use. Some how or the other I need to sell them away. Hope to receive some guidance. Cheers. Regards.

I don't know about you guys, but I kind of miss the old buy-sell section. The current Marketplace is flooded with ads by workshops and vendors and while I can understand that those are helpful to some, it takes away the flavour of the individual seller-buyer space that I like so much. Now just clicking into Marketplace and seeing practically all sections flooded with ads by companies puts me off from browsing. No longer what it used to be, that's for sure. I'm sure some forumers are happy about it, but I'm not one of them. My vote goes to having a separate space for individuals to transact.

full of stoopid ads from acc shops...don't feel like browsing it. Similar item can be repeated >15 times. Really tokkong and I salute u the lady sitting the office in Kaki Bukit. Mod, can do something?
