I'm a carousell user.
Sometimes I ask prospective buyers for the phone number, and seldom get a reply.

Sonetimes when I try to send my phone number, it kind of refused to allow the post.

How come? Once we conclude to transact, how are we to contact reach other?

Or if the person wants to view the item

can bypass the refusal wan. just click to send again

Phone numbers are blocked by carousell. They have their own chat system which is similar like whatsapp. Anyway, a lot of user overcome this by typing number like O19 nine eight 11 two four

Carousell, Mudah.... both good platforms to sell and buy stuff. Just like everything else in the world, you have to be careful and know what you are doing.

I have sold and bought many items from Carousell from Ikea Ivar racks to old ThinkPad laptops and from rare 30-40 year old electronics to modern phones.

The latest was a Nothing Phone (1) for very little money and came with many optional goodies.

The best would be COD but some like my usual SSD sellers are based in JB and all transactions are paid using Protection so pretty safe.

The largest item I ever bought with Protection is a Dell Precision M6700 laptop from Kulai packed in several thick cardboard and bubble wraps.

Always used Protection when paying to avoid scammers.

Some will try to avoid it so that could be a red flag.

I give you some tips lah ok

you advertise your products in fb instagram carousell where ever lah

but direct them to buy in your own shopee store. ask them to use their free shipping voucher there

from there u can filter some unserious buyer

win win situation

then sorry to say, the business plan is not viable. dont waste your time over some stuff that doesnt bring any profit to you or to others.

you can find money, but time wasted? u cant recover it back
