Allegro locally - what the crap is that?!?

It only hurts that they now require as much as 25% of offers linked to the product in some categories. A terribly stupid requirement. And the commissions are getting bigger ...

He often selects products with different parameters, and because of the requirements, some people enter what they want and write in the description so as not to be influenced by the parameters of Allegro.

@Sylvania it hurts the fact that Allegro creates a product catalog by forcing its customers to do so! They want to have a "product catalog" and let them create it themselves! Any item in the world they want to catalog as "product catalog"?! ...

Another of their stupidity "out of concern for the customer" is the EAN code. What normal person, when looking for an item to buy, e.g. a shovel, looks for it by EAN and not by name? !!!
Ask on the street what an EAN is, no one will answer. But Alle decided that a Pole, even when buying a roll, does not buy a "wheat roll", but years around the store looking for "EAN 213580447352" ... Is there anything more stupid than this condition?

And they probably do not examine the level of intellectual development of their employees, because the power supply module from Samsung TV was moved to the "Laptop - power supplies" category by themselves, or they kindly took care of the buyer who bought and did not pay by offering him a refund from the buyer protection program. The buyer writes in the discussion that he did not buy anything and did not pay for anything, and the employee continues his own - you will get the item or we will return the money. "It was close and the guest would get PLN 700 for free Such heights of the intellect ...

EANy is a great idea, you can easily search for a specific version of a given product, for example. The "normal people" you mention are rather those who enter Allegro in Google to enter the Allegro website and click on the link instead of entering the address
EANs are for people who shop consciously. I have often searched for a specific product on EAN. Just like books after ISBNo.

This whole categorization of products and EAN codes are meant to be a convenience for people who do not know what they really are selling (employees of various stores without knowledge in a given field).
Unfortunately, what makes it easier for some people is a big handicap. Searching for EAN does not guarantee finding the cheapest one, because this database is very poor.

If I know it correctly, the EAN search option was initially introduced for the car parts category.

EAN

EAN (European Article Number) - a family of bar codes (symbolism) introduced in 1977 by the European Article Numbering association. The code was developed on the basis of the UPC code previously developed in the USA and Canada.

PS Three years ago I helped to implement a sales system in one of the local animal clinics, I can't imagine it without EAN at all, about 30% of the goods they sell had no code.

In this category, such a code solves a lot because a given part with the same name can appear in hundreds, if not thousands, versions (the mechanics themselves get lost). For this reason, in the past, mechanics did not buy on the Allegro, because when buying in a wholesaler, they had a free / problem-free return of parts if something was not what they ordered.

The search engine on the Allegro locally annoys me, there is no text search option in the auction description. People give the exact specification of, for example, electronics in the description and usually after that you can find detailed data and this is how Janusz will write in the auction description "I am selling a motherboard for a computer" and that's it.

Another thing is the inability to comment on the seller or leave a positive or negative opinion ... on the one hand, if a crook sells something and conceals detailed information about the equipment, e.g. hidden defects, you cannot warn others about the crook. Only it usually happens that when someone sells a lot and you start complaining, he adds you to the black list of buyers and you will not buy anything from Janusz, occasionally, and so bad and not good.

The search engine on the Allegro also looks in offers from locally.

He is not looking at these offers at all.

Well, if not looking. Look for the word "BUY NOW with Allegro locally" in the auction list after searching. There are also other ads from AL without buy it now.

These ads are highlighted so that they also appear on the main allegro, which does not mean that this search engine searches locally, because it is not looking. He searches on the main allegro, which also has some highlighted ads from locally.

I bought a used document shredder. It was operational at the auction. Unfortunately, the shredder does not destroy documents. The seller must have known this and therefore put it up for sale. For example, a photo of supposedly damaged documents.



These are exactly the cards from the advertising newsletter, but what about the documents with personal data?

The second unpleasant experience with Allegro locally, I bought the item and immediately transferred the amount due via Payu. A few hours later, the seller called me to apologize that the item had been gone for a month. At the same time, he added that he would immediately return the money with the cost of shipping.
Two days have passed and the seller calls me and asks me when I will send the money to him, because he is not there yet and he cannot return it to me. This is the ad I have on this "locally". I did not have such mishaps on an ordinary allegro.

And I and the regular allegro had mishaps, interestingly enough that even it was impossible to win anything in the dispute.

However, the most expensive slip-up was on olx, who would have expected

On OLX, I don't think anyone is considering any disputes. After all, you don't pay any commission there.

In the end, they did not get rid of it, I have been selling as a private person for many years, before they removed all the grades, there was no negative, and since then there are no negatives. But smart guys are everywhere.

As if commissions were decisive You pay draconian commissions on the Allegro and if the seller writes that something worked fine before shipping, you will not do anything about it. I also had a dispute with the company once and it was not possible to reach an agreement, so you can hit differently.

When it comes to Janusz's business with boorish taunts such as that "he knows how to talk in discussions to turn out to be his", unfortunately this is the case, and nothing can be done about it.

Will I get immediate information at the post office who confirmed the receipt of the parcel or will it be necessary to write a complaint?
During the pandemic, has the post office not resigned from signing receipt of registered mail?

I am asking because the buyer claims that he did not receive the package and that the tracking number is delivered (it is specifically an economic registered letter).

Twice when I checked the tracking of the parcel, I had already marked as delivered, and physically I did not have a registered letter. Probably the postman was distributing his letters in the morning, it would seem like he ticked them off right away. The letters finally ended up in my mailbox, but only around noon (typically). I would like to add that a few years ago I agreed to the so-called slips.

In this case, almost 3 weeks have passed since "delivery" and 4 weeks since sending the letter. It took quite a long time to contact the buyer that he did not receive the package despite the fact that no. just after shipment got for tracking.

But it's up to you to prove who and when received the parcel?
You did, it was delivered, I think that's it.

They could steal at the post office. For me it was like that, Status: delivered on the day earlier than I received the advice note. When I went to the post office with a delivery note, they said that there was no such parcel. When I asked where did the notification come from, then the guy just smiled stupidly and threw a text like "we don't have your coat and what will you do to us?"

With this "delivered" status, did a colleague get a refund from Allegro from the Buyer Protection Program?

Here was the situation with Aliexpress, but I see a similar pattern as my friend.
The post office did not want to talk to me because the sender should submit the complaint.
Of course, the Chinese will not talk to anyone because from his perspective the package was delivered.
I made a dispute, Aliexpress verified everything and rejected the claim. I also lost money.

As far as I know, either the recipient gets the receiving code on the phone by text message and does not have to sign anything when receiving the package, he gives this code. If it has a code, it can choose the form of a regular signature anyway. If, as the colleague wrote above, there is a signed consent to throw a registered letter without a signature into a given mailbox, then nothing is signed and you have to look after the mailbox yourself. If the buyer says that he did not get anything, he should first check the mailbox and if there is nothing there, even a notice, let him go to the post office with the parcel number and ask the post himself. The post office is what it is, but a lot depends on the people working there. Anyway, someone is turning something. You can submit complaints, but you are also covered in any dispute on alledrogo. Often, buyers are ordinary frauds and, for example, when buying something from a Chinese on aliexpres, despite the fact that they have received working equipment, they write to the Chinese that it does not work and either the Chinese return their money or send the product back to China, rather not profitable.

Going around the brand selection somehow when adding an advertisement? For example, in the beauty section there is no "other" option, you have to choose from the few that are on the list. This portal has been tragic for some time.

I do not know about the beauty department, but in the technical departments there is no need to choose a manufacturer / brand. You just skip this field.
At least that's what I have in the app.

It is the same and there is a long way to get your money back.
