    Of course, and if it's a used washing machine, what do you require? You have a choice, either you send it to the site and pay the courier, or the service comes to you and you pay for it, no problem here. More than once I have explained to the client that the equipment is a trash to be disposed of, but no - "come, Lord, maybe something will work ..." I know that it will not work. But I was going for the peace of mind. Then I confirm the diagnosis on the spot and count the sum of X kilometer = and this is how much the client pays me. He called me. See, used equipment is not new, it can be used for a week, a month, a year, but you still don't know how intensively it is used. It is your risk to buy such equipment. Why is this risk to be borne by the seller? You take the risk yourself because you are poor or poor and you do not buy new, but old equipment. But there is as much chance that you will continue to use this equipment and that it will fail you and you will not use it. Besides, no one will tell you to send it by courier. You can carry it on foot and it will be transported for free. you engage a carrier with a tariff, it costs so much, not otherwise.

    And yet you bought a used one and you probably explain to the client - "Lord, you had to buy a new one". :)
    I sometimes buy something used there, but then I am guided by the brand, opinions, availability of parts and failure rate.
    The rest of the society probably drives used cars. :)

    I just got an email from Allegro reminding me to rate the transaction. So I assessed:
    "I recommend the seller, but it's Allegro Lokalnie you could forgive yourself." :-)

    You write nonsense. I didn't buy anything, sometimes I buy something used

    Well, I don't know who and what writes it makes no sense.
    You bought a TV for PLN 30 plus PLN 570 shipment - I doubt that someone normal, some store would sell a new tv on the parcel.
    The second point is that you did not behave wisely either.
    And the third one is that he was obliged to return you for the parcel or send you a new TV, although you think otherwise, but I advise you to look at the laws on consumer rights.

    Unfortunately, buddy, the consumer's rights are such that a private person selling a second-hand does not have to take anything back.

    You are right, but it is clear from your entries that the guy does have a company or should have one if he has his own employees.
    And since he has a company, it is like I wrote above.

    The questionnaire popped up: "Would you recommend alok ...?"
    In response, they got one specific "soldier" term.

    They grope the subject.
    But it is strange though no, it is not strange.
    On the one hand, they could be in ... private, only companies and what you will do to us, but it could harm their image and that would be a minus, it would probably not ruin the sales very much, but ... a bubble and noise would do, and that would not be good.
    They are grilling the frog slowly.

    listing on Allegro Lokalnie was getting easier. Now you can add up to 15 photos to the advertisement at the same time. Soon we will introduce more changes: the ability to follow ads and options to promote.

    In addition, we will lower the sales fee on Buy It Now or Auction Ads. In Electronics, we will reduce it from 10% to 4.9%, and in other departments from 10% to 7.9% of the item price. We will also remove the maximum amount of this fee, which is currently PLN 50.


    I wonder why they treat electronics so exceptionally? The sales of relatively expensive items such as computers, photo equipment, electronics, household appliances or telephones have dropped?

    Many people rummaged in antiques and bought something new. After all, they also had an income from the antiques trade. Many people need unique items. This is what the allegro did. Most of the new products go to city centers and you don't need Allegro at all. Sometimes you also have to turn a blind eye to buying outside the Allegro. Allegro does not earn from selling it, but it does earn from listing the item and it is gaining popularity. Please do not write that it is losing because it is not losing anything.

    Today Allegro is a much different market than the one 10-15 years ago, and even more so 20 years ago
    Today it is mainly such a powerful Amazon market, maybe a bit of ebay, but the strikte market of Poland.
    The sale of private persons is basically a margin today (depending on the category, of course), but there are those that constitute 99% pure trade.
    Anyway, the idea of pushing private people's allocations to the site is nonsense, yes, some try to explain it in different ways and that they do not want to kick (allegro) with this or that. But strangely, they do not mind creating a second website (and service?), I ask what for?
    Besides, what is this stupid idea to force private sellers "locally" what the ... does it make sense today? Yes, 20 years ago, maybe still so, but today? What is ebay locally?
    As I wrote many times, they want to kick out private sellers, let them kick in full, at least we will find a new market from scratch (and this will be a plus for private sellers - a clear situation) and a negative allegro (also clear situation).
    And not cooking a frog in such a way (or maybe that's the point) to discourage people from selling their own unnecessary things?
    Only new, new, and the old basket, even if in working order?

    And who writes here that they are suffering losses? He's earning a hell of money and figuring out how to earn even more. And they had an income from the antiquities trade that was orders of magnitude less than their income from shops. For each postcard from the '20s sold, 100 hard drives, 1000 memory cards, X laptops, Y televisions, refrigerators, etc. were sold. Therefore, they decided to get rid of the pain in the ass in the form of antique dealers. Only the Electronics department did not fall for it, because there are a lot of used laptops, smartphones and other goods at good prices, from which there is also a good commission - so now they are loosening a little in this department, because the turnover has probably dropped.

    Maybe something has changed, but as I remember my stay on Allego, you paid twice: once for the listing (some fees for additional thumbnails, photo size, etc.) and the second time a commission after sale. So they make money from displaying and selling.

    And that's probably the point too :) who runs the store at 99% and so uses the integration of the warehouse and sales system with Allegro via API, does not even visit the Allegro website

Topic summary

The discussion centers on the introduction of "Allegro Lokalnie," a new, separate platform by Allegro aimed at private sellers, distinct from the main Allegro site which is increasingly focused on business accounts. Users report significant usability issues with Allegro Lokalnie, including limited photo uploads (maximum five), a restricted and basic description editor, lack of delivery price list integration, and absence of features like "show similar" items. The platform enforces a flat 10% commission on sales, which many consider excessive, especially for private sellers accustomed to lower fees. Allegro Lokalnie does not support integration with the old Allegro system, causing confusion and management difficulties for sellers. The new system restricts auction formats, limiting options to "Buy Now" or bidding, but with constraints that complicate auction management and re-listing. Users express frustration over the loss of traditional auction features, reduced protections, and the forced separation of private and business sellers, which some interpret as Allegro's strategy to phase out private sellers due to higher dispute management costs and legal complexities. The community discusses alternatives such as eBay.pl and Sprzedajemy.pl, though these are seen as less convenient or less developed in the Polish market. There is also mention of Allegro's ownership by investment funds (Cinven, Permira, Mid Europa Partners) and its transformation from a user-driven auction site to a commercial marketplace resembling a department store. Concerns include the removal of cheap shipping options like InPost parcel lockers, increased commissions, and the overall decline in user experience. The discussion highlights a broader trend of e-commerce consolidation, regulatory impacts, and the challenges faced by individual sellers in adapting to platform changes.
