    The auction site, well-known to all, overflowed its bitterness today.
    As usual, I wanted to display a few items, I look and here is a new form for listing allegro locally, note BETA - but you can not turn it off anywhere !!!
    Ok, there is no other option, I click allegro and allegro exhibitions locally. Another staircase begins here. You can add a maximum of 5 photos (I will add that you can not insert your own gallery in the auction code for a long time), the description editor is small and narrow, as I do not know, delivery price lists cannot be used. Overall a drama.
    There is no "show similar" option after listing the auction, but in the list of current items on the Allegro, clicking on the exhibition similar will take you to a new form, which is obviously not completed.
    In the end, somehow I managed to exhibit 10 items. I switch to the old Allegro and there is no newly added auction. Nosz k .... I have no words. They divided the website into two parts, but it turned out tragically. The link displayed on an item on one site takes you to the other one, we have other offers on both Allegro and Allegro locally. I'm definitely on there.

    Allegro's official position on this issue is that it will actually be so. There will be an allegro for entrepreneurs and an allegro locally for an ordinary blacksmith. The sales rate on the Allegro locally will be a constant 10% (a good excuse to spend more money).

    After clicking on the listing page, for example, on the automotive industry, you can still display items on the old Allegro, not locally, which according to an employee of the Allegro after October 31 is not possible at all. Here Link to the old form.

    Allegro looks like a notice board locally, you can list something, but Allegro is not interested in the transaction and does not mediate in payment, something like selling pl You can still put up an auction in a "normal" Allegro, but the 10% fee is prohibitive, so that no normal person would do it. So it is the final step in the transformation into a Chinese Shopping Center.

    Only by clicking on "automotive" you can place auctions on a normal Allegro. Normally, you only list on the allegro locally, with the option of being visible on the regular allegro. On the Allegro in "my account" and "offers" you cannot see these ads, you can only manage them from allegrolokalnie.pl

    We have been commercializing the allegro.pl website for some time and adapting it to the requirements of professional sellers conducting organized sales.
    Not wanting to leave incidental sellers, we made available to them a new space, Allegro Lokalnie.
    I know that a few useful functionalities are still missing, so we are constantly working on their implementation


    And fun. I will also have some uncensored words on my part ....

    If the introduction of an auction commission a few years ago did not sink them, it will not sink them all the more. UOKiK cannot do anything to them either.
    It's time to dust off your ebay account that you haven't used for years.

    Allegro has been wanting to get rid of private sellers for at least a year. They have a problem because they have to participate in disputes. First, they made an imaginary white background, then the elimination of sellers' opinions, now a change of the private portal.

    What is no longer for ordinary Janusz Kowalski who wanted to sell something once a Russian year.

    1) No option to choose parcel lockers for PLN 8.99 The only available option at the parcel locker is "Pickup at the point: Paczkomaty 24/7 InPost - cash on delivery PLN 17! And Pickup at the point: Paczkomaty 24/7 InPost - prepayment of PLN 15. Cheap shipments for individuals are over " Allegro Paczkomaty24 / 7 Inpost maximum size 41X38X64cm, weight 25kg PRICE: 8.99 PLN and two Allegro miniKurier24 Inpost 10.95 PLN and Allegro Kurier24 InPost 13.41 PLN. So the bowel: /
    2) It is not possible to choose the option of listing an auction for a specified period of time from the machine, we have 10 days.

    3) No other options, such as a guarantee, returns and other crap

    As for the SMART offer:
    "We know that Buyers are eager to choose offers where free shipping is available, so we will make SMART delivery! On Allegro Lokalnie available by mid-2020."

    Well, sellers do not like when someone criticizes their goods, it is enough that you give one star less and you have already landed on the blacklist with the seller and God forbid that you wrote something wrong about how wonderful junk that the seller was selling, it is already known that you will not do without a black list. I wonder how much INPost will lose on this because POCZTA Poland will definitely gain.

    I think it is about the US. They had to report private income to the US even if it did not exceed the relief. After the creation of a new personal portal, only sellers who do not have a business will respond to the Tax Office for not reporting income.

    I watch Allegro and I like to find something cheap. And here I have offers on Allegro Lokalne and I cannot add to the watched ones. Do you know if there is any alternative? Because, as you can see, Allegro will be OLX + stores that will be more expensive than other online stores. Maybe the management board wants to liquidate Allegro and that's why such stupid moves?

    Since the option with cheap parcel lockers appeared, in my opinion, Allegro became the best commercial service of this type elsewhere for less than PLN 9, you could send a parcel up to 25 kg, which on the second day was able to get from one end of Poland to the other without major problems. If this option was restored to Allegro Lokalnie, I would swallow this change.

    Well, it was a lot easier. Parcel lockers were also often the cheapest option, the ability to track and collect a parcel at any time without queuing.

    But the drowning razor grabs on. Disputes with sellers for some time in my case do not work at all, and this is where the fault was clearly on their side.
    I even met a case where a "smart" seller said during a telephone conversation that you are welcome, please open a dispute - I know how to deal with such matters. Of course, this applies to lying to the face, and the "Allegro employee", seeing two different versions, spreads his hands and suggests a legal action, because the seller and the buyer cannot reach an agreement. Nosz k ... this is the argument to solve the problem. They do not even block accounts and do nothing to such delinquents. And of course, this does not only apply to private individuals, because there were such hits with entrepreneurs.

    Allegro Locally - my short opinion - trash and mess! Muck, syphilis and grave (these are not vulgar words, but diseases and their effects).
    Looking at the effects of their programmers' sweating, I can see a strong entry of "good change" (without political undertones) ...

    One plus for the entrepreneur that the Allegro option was taken at the parcel locker, the return without giving a reason was within 14 days and even the parcels did not have to be marked with the address, you only got the return code, the parcel machine opened and you could send something back because, for example, the shoes did not match or the color was right for you did not like ... and the cashback, as long as the goods were undamaged, was problem-free. Anyway, a lot of entrepreneurs are bush companies that trade junk, but also sometimes a good commodity, but what if you issue such a right negative, you will smear the product in the commentary and you will document it with photos and it ended with a black list ... where more than once I had so that only this seller traded something else and I could not buy it from him, I ask why these star comments, if you end up with low ratings on the black one.

    Maybe such changes are forced by the US. The state has to look for money for babies ... but I rhymed XD

    Great summary. This looks like a deliberate shutdown of demand and a change in the business profile.

    The greatest kick in ... from Allegro was given to collectors of all unusual (such as train tickets) or more typical (such as stamps and coins) goods. Often, interesting "specimens" were auctioned by several people, I once sold a cardboard ticket from the occupation for over PLN 80, and I managed to hunt for similar occasions. And now he's sneezing, it's not possible to put up an auction on Allegro Lokalnie.

    I think that the problem is the lack of a competitive portal, I will add that let's leave foreign portals alone, because in Poland it is still not a competition because you can have everything quickly with Allegro. If someone wise finds himself, he will have a chance to create something competitive. An example of a different industry is steam, which treats users like idiots and now it is growing epic and I can see that I only use it. Similarly, it will be done with the Allegro, even though I buy there for many years, I am even ready to delete the account to show opposition, and this is because this portal constantly changes something and these changes will affect me .... to the extent that I will start to avoid them and I can do without them . Why not make such a strike by deleting accounts?

    10% of the commission really seems like a lot. The plus is that you always know how much you will pay, because there are no additional listing fees and no commission depending on the category.

    So far on Świstak for today:
    The operation of the auction and the creation of new profiles is suspended. Work is underway to renew the website.
    We will inform you about the possible re-launch of the website in advance.

    Hello to all forum members.

    I have an account on Allegro for over 20 years. I have been on the portal in various situations, gaining experience in avoiding suspicious auctions and buying wisely. Thanks
    Local Allegro is, in my opinion, a shot in the foot. Blocking "ordinary" users from being put up for sale or auction discouraged me personally from using this website altogether.
    They forgot the most important thing. We "ordinary" users buy from companies and from each other on this portal. Without us, they won't earn NOTHING. Why, after taking 50% of the opportunity from me - buy / sell, only buy - buy on the Allegro. I can buy it anywhere. And so, thanks to the "changes to the allegro" I became the happy owner of socket wrenches that I bought directly on the seller's website, and earlier it would not occur to me not to buy through the allegro.

    best regards

    With this 10% commission, wouldn't it be worth getting UOKiK's attention?

    And the gopher domain is registered in Cyprus by a domain trader. It died quite a long time ago.

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.
