    It's still not enough money for them to want to milk the suckers on the stock exchange :)

    And have you heard the saying: "You have a ram, stew it, if you want to let it go" or "The appetite grows with eating"? The rich can never get enough money.

    Their behavior has also made this scenario more probable for some time.

    But notice that they fool dynamically and on multiple levels, so that the average person has no idea what's going on.
    Anyway figuring out what they will do in the next stage of wisdom is practically unpredictable, although some patterns are fixed, but these are only appearances.

    Strange survey result :( (OLX is total hopelessness - in every respect! All local has its flaws - I probably haven't met them all yet. Unfortunately, there is no competition - I don't understand Poles, why only these 2 exist ?? :( (The others practically mean nothing.

    The topic died because the Allegro has recently stopped with the changes (recently only the unfortunate 1% of offers related to products and there is still a default redirection to listing in AL). There was also some Allegro I recommend and that's it.

    Meanwhile, what do you think, it is possible to lose on selling on the Allegro? - Can be. I wanted to get rid of a few items, so I put up for auctions from PLN 1. Offers that were not very popular went at the asking price (I'm generally glad that someone will benefit from these items and that I got rid of them). But out of curiosity how it came to paying the fees, I looked at what it cost me.

    So yes (final bid price, shipping method, shipping cost, commission):
    1.00, courier DPD, 25, 1.04 ( loss 4gr. I omit that I underestimated the shipment by about PLN 3 because it was my fault, even if I did not lower it, I would lose)
    1.00, inpost parcel lockers, 8.99, 1.10 ( loss 10gr)
    1.50, inpost parcel lockers, 8.99, 0.95 (profit 5 gr)
    1.00, inpost parcel lockers, 8.99, 0.60 (profit 40 gr)

    I know that these are ridiculous amounts and someone could ask why I'm writing about it, but paying the shipping commission with an option where it is not possible to overestimate the shipping price (allegro inpost parcel lockers) is an inflection. I also know that I could have a look in what categories the commission is, calculate (including packaging costs) and set the starting price so as not to lose but firstly I don't want to, and secondly, that's not the point. I hope that the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection will take care of it because it is a broad day robbery. When we look at probably thousands of transactions a day, it can make a good sum.

    Add PLN 1 / minute to these losses :) but for the whole process from the beginning: taking photos, issuing, ending with checking the bank account! :( But so solid with a stopwatch! So am I do not know for the sake of anything small - I sell cheap :(

    I was croaking. That it calmed down. Allegro locally - what the crap is that?!?
    Are they being frivolous? On the computer it is the same ... In the shopping tab there are items bought on the regular Allegro and AL, in the sale ... AL itself.
    Only after clicking from the link bar in the account or purchases tab, the sales links with the list of my offers appear (but not on the new menu, only below).
    Do I really have to figure out how to get to the offers? This is normally but a failure :D

    Supposedly the moderator wrote that they will improve it, but I think this bite on their part is to provoke the transition to AL. What I will not do. Because why in AL they added a link to offers on a regular Allegro?

    I know, but how many bookmarks can you have on the Allegro ... One must be for the listing form on a regular Allegro. Second now to the offers. It is about the fact that they are constantly introducing some changes that, instead of improving the portal, only irritate.

    Ultimately, ordinary users are not supposed to hang around the allegro, but to fall on the local allegro

    What do I have to do to list on a regular allegro because it automatically takes me to the allegro locally?

    At the very bottom of the listing page there is a link.
    It's best to add it to a bookmark.

    I haven't exhibited for a long time, but somehow I found it. Now the question is whether li-ion cells with a diameter of 18 mm + an envelope to what size will the lady at the post office classify? You have to start exhibiting while it is still possible, because there is less and less space at home.

    With a bubble envelope, it will exceed the height of 20mm and then as a registered letter by PP it is almost PLN 16.

    It is better to send the cells with a Package +, up to 0.5kG is for PLN 12.50 with traditional shipping.

    Currently, most people probably prefer inpost parcel lockers. So, if possible, it's best to share them with them.

    I looked at my Allegro account. And I feel amazing. I couldn't find my items on display for a few minutes. It kept redirecting me to Allegro Locally and I did not exhibit there. When I finally got my items, they were viewed a few in the last 30 days, while before that there were usually several hundred, sometimes only a few dozen. Not surprisingly, browsing traffic has dropped drastically after the recent changes. I ended all my auctions immediately so as not to rely on this unconventional sales platform. This is my silent protest. They won't get a penny from me.

    Added after 1 [hours] 2 [minutes]:

    In addition, 1 is lit, i.e. info about an unread message that I can't find. I think Covid confused their senses.

    It concerned some of their suggestions for something; it could be suppressed before the modifications.

    Now "1" is lit all the time

    if half a million had withdrawn, they might have reacted. Unfortunately, they have no competition on websites other than OLX, nobody asks about anything :)

    I deeply respect them. What the others will do, and that's not my business. I am taught to have my own opinion and not to follow the rush of sheep. Will others follow me is no longer my problem.

    For such a protest to be effective, not only the sale, but also the purchase on this platform would have to be suspended. In addition, it would have to be at least tens of thousands of users for Allegro to realize that something is wrong.


    I don't buy there anymore if I don't have to. I used to look elsewhere, Allegro had everything. Now, even if the search engine spits something out of All ... I check if the seller has his shop. Unfortunately, when it comes to unusual, collectible, second-hand items, there is no sensible alternative :-(

    Fact. Regardless of whether it is Allegro or I am looking for something in other stores, I always choose an offer / store with the InPost option. PP is at the bottom of my favorites list, I only make up my mind when there is no other option.

    I made a purchase on Allegro locally. Like a parcel to an Inpost parcel locker and the cost to pay is PLN 20. What's more, when I was filling out the form, there was no question about a specific parcel locker. So I don't know what it will be like. In the meantime, I was making another purchase on a normal allegro and there was a question about a specific parcel locker.

    On AL, all details are agreed with the seller, he also sets any shipping cost. So the old times of items for PLN 5 are back with shipping for PLN 50 ...

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the recent changes to Allegro's auction platform, particularly the introduction of "Allegro Lokalnie," which has been met with significant dissatisfaction from users. Many users express frustration over the limitations of the new platform, including a 10% commission fee, restrictions on the number of photos (limited to five), and the inability to use certain features like "show similar" or a comprehensive description editor. Users feel that the changes favor businesses over individual sellers, leading to a decline in private sales. The lack of a robust buyer protection program and the inability to track bids or manage auctions effectively are also major concerns. Some users suggest that the platform is becoming more akin to a notice board rather than a competitive auction site, prompting discussions about potential migration to other platforms like OLX or eBay. The overall sentiment indicates a belief that Allegro is losing touch with its user base and may face long-term consequences if it does not address these issues.
