Never profitable since the start

If I were the CEO, Carousell will be Top 5 global brands by now

Their free pay on seeing the good is better. Most people will post new and brand new. On looking, they are a few years old. Imagine a book that is already brown-in-colour but brand new. But it is worth buying because after reading you can throw it away.

Some never use, it is hard to believe.

Carousell Protection can result in you losing money.

Without Carousell, scammers would still make use of other platforms

Quote:Speaking to The Straits Times, Ms Lee said DBS contacted her on June 23 to assure her that its team had followed up on her case, and the money she lost would be returned to her account in three to five days.

She said she received the full amount on the same day, and was immensely grateful for the bank’s assistance.


I find this hard to believe the story

DBS will not be able to stop anything if the money already transferred out

FYI carousell is different.
Is a place for individuals selling their stuffs

In fact Amazon also but in the way Amazon why safe because they are strict and do check any frauds etc

Whereas carousell security still not there
They do claim so call scan every seller and buyer but u can see so may Fake luxury items stuffs selling inside.

What you mean not true?

It was never profitable!


RE: This carousell should just close shop , always a place for scammer - Sentinel - 06-07-2023

Carousell is much like ebay, only it is localized to Sinkiepoor

And ebay can do a much better job, only that is began to charge a fee for listing

If not, there is really no place for Carousell to thrive at all

Nothing farking special abt Carousell

But I sell my stuff there more successfully than at ebay, because Buyers are looking for lowball bargains there, unlike ebay

It's an app can be downloaded from google play. Very popular among ppl with same interests, organising protests/riots, trading/investments and ofc scammers

eBay is more complicated


RE: This carousell should just close shop , always a place for scammer - WhatDoYouThink! - 07-07-2023

Carousell doesn't charge for most listings except for property - only 1 listing and for a few weeks only, and maybe a few other items.

Always check the sellers' reviews first.
