About this app

Carousell is the leading multi-category classifieds and recommerce marketplace in Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, Philippines and Indonesia that lets you sell and buy everything including fashion, luxury, mobile phones, books, toys, cars, motorcycles, home services (renovation, cleaning, movers) and more.

We dream of a world where people instinctively sell their under-utilised items instead of letting them go to waste, and where others buy them as a first choice. Hence, Carousell was started to make buying and selling preowned items easier.

To sell, simply take a photo to start listing on the marketplace and even start your online store. Too busy to list? You can also sell clothing, mobile phones, luxury bags and cars directly to Carousell*.

To buy, simply search for what you want. Shop secondhand mobile phones, luxury bags and cars with a peace of mind by looking for Carousell Certified listings with the ā€˜Certified’ tag^. Also look out for listings with the ā€˜Buyer Protection’ tag and ā€˜Buy’ button# which allows you to make purchases directly on the app via secure payment methods with escrow protection and access delivery options with popular logistics partners.

This app is a solid choice, and likely one of the best, for buying and selling pre-owned items. It's also becoming increasingly common to find brand new items listed here. One area for improvement is the search functionality. Due to the varied ways users upload listings, standardizing product searches isn't straightforward. While not necessarily the platform's fault, this does impact the overall user experience.

The overall app works and serves its purpose, you can post items to sell and search for items to buy. This is expected although there is an increase number of ads which makes the experience annoying. The problem with Carousel in Hong Kong is the market environment. Sellers post misleading info, such a low starting price but for multiple items or items that are already sold. Buyers low-ball offers and asks to meet in other locations. Carousell has not dealt with this and needs to do better.

Carousell’s messaging system is unreliable. Messages often get blocked even when they follow guidelines. This has caused me to miss multiple opportunities with both buyers and sellers. It would be extremely helpful if the app notified users when a message is blocked, so we could retype and not lose potential deals. Messaging is a core feature of Carousell, and this issue seriously impacts the overall user experience. A fix would greatly enhance the app’s value and usability.
