OLX India Complaints & Reviews

In general, all the e - commerce sites in the world have been under severe criticism for irregularities, frauds, cheats etc; and olx.in too are not spared.
Many complaints are registered against the olx.in in the recent days. The site serves as a free trading platform for the buyers and sellers, that has been taken advantage by the anti - social elements, cheats, beguilers and people with fradulent motives. All the sellers & buyers are not genuine. There are imposters who have encroached the site with deceitful designs. Many sellers do not want any questions from the buyers about the item they have advertised for sale. They want the buyers to believe what they say. Almost, all the sellers do not give a complete description of the items and whatever little information they give are evasive. A buyer has a right to field questions about the subject items to a seller and the seller has to respond to their queries, pleasingly, clearing off all the doubts about the items. It is the sellers' responsibility to please the buyers with genuine informations. If they are not ready to answer the buyers, then they should not use the site for trading. They should not take the buyers for fools. It is not necessary for the buyers to buy the items they refer to. No sellers should expect the buyers to buy their items. Both buyers & sellers are at risk on olx.in, as there is no stringent measures to control the both. Utmost caution is to be exercised by both. Olx. Chennai has become notorious. Many under pseudo names like ' classics' rule the site with assumed authority. They dictate with unpleasant terms on the buyers, which is ridiculous. Such sellers should be banned from the site immediately. There should be no lenience or consideration for them. Though olx.in are taking measures to identify such sellers with fradulent motives and removing them from the site, their action is not proportionate to the growth of the deceitful invaders on the site. Olx.in should look into the matter immediately to curb the activities of the impostors. Otherwise, the site will fall in the hands o[censored]nscrupulous, anti - social elements.

What the hell you guys are doing at customer support? Banning anyone’s account gor no reason? The same thing has happened with my brother and my friends for more than one time. Even when i try to make a new account with a new number, they just ban it right away. Even without logging in.
I don’t need a stupid apology from you. Just unban my accounts and improve your employees sitting in that cubicle.

Today on 18th December 2019 i become victim of online fraud which have used OLX platform for initiating lead and doing fraud.

Fraud persons has posted very cheap price for latest version of honda activa. I have asked for RC book and person identity which was shared to me in 5 minutes. I have verified RC book with RTO website where details were found to be correct.

After we finalised deal price, he along with his 2 other partners convinced me to transfer Rs.6300 for transportation and RC transfer work. I have done mistake by transferring funds through Paytm. Again i got call to transfer balance amount so they can deliver. At this point i have understood that it is trap.

They have not stopped and threatened me that they have my address and aadhar card details and they will see me soon. I have filed FIR police complain with Mira Road where i stay to protect self from unknown people.

it very big scam. all 3 people have shared with me more than 12 photos at different stages to convince that all is well.

I am disappointed that professional companies like OLX platform are used by criminals to extort money from society.

I have done my duty by lodging complain with OLX, PAYTM and Police. But how this people can get caught not sure ? and will they stop ?? are India ready to using online platform for buy and sell ? is OLX and PAYTM doing enough ? we are asked KYC everytime and what about KYC of these people??

Only cyber cell complain is pending which i am planning to do by taking day off from office soon.

thanks for patience reading.

Hi team,

I had posted an ad in olx for selling the phone. One of the olx user messaged me and agreed to buy the phone from me. So came down to my place took phone and did online neft transaction to my account and showed the message of the transaction credited to my account. But he didn't do the transaction instead he called some one and that person performed the transaction and forward the message and screenshot. Olx account user name was pooja (Female) and person who came was male and told his name is anil but really don't know what actually name of the person. He told my sister is the user she is purchasing the phone. I cam on her behalf to collection the phone.
We waited for some time and saw no amount was credited to account called bank customer care and they as it non working day it will take 24hrs to get reflected. So we some how trusted that person and took contact number and that person left.
We waited for next day till evening and amount was not credited and tried calling that number it was switched off. We were continuous trying to contact the person, later he picked the call and responded as money should be credited if not i will come down to your place and give money. Again we trusted that person and waited till night but again his phone was switch off and no response. Till now his phone is switch off.

I have his cctv footage prints.

Olx offers 5 free ads for duration of 60 days which is understandable from their business point of view. They want to make profits and hence it's all right that they restrict the number of free ads for a time duration.

What i have been asking them is to provide detailed data about how many ads that i have posted in a category and how many free ads are still left before the free limit is over. Such data under my profile will be very helpful.

Despite of repeated requests they don't seem to be interested to implement such a feature. When i call the customer care and ask to talk to senior they do not allow me. When i submit feedback and ask for call back they don't.

Olx is good but not that user friendly, sadly.

He said he is working in indian army so believed him and also he send his photo with military dress and also adhar card. He said he need 15000 in advance to get the car out of indian army courier department. I paid 5000 through imps he gave paytm account number. After paying 5000 i went to bangalore indian army camp. But they have not allowed me. So i waited for his call and he called me and informed that he need another 15000 to get the car out of indian army camp. I refused to pay. As i think this may be fraud. Next day i contacted him and asked for refund my money. But he didn't gave my money. Big scam is going on in olx in the name of indian army. Please take necessary step to stop this scam in the name of indian army. Name

Confirmed on 28 k for the honda bike dio. As he told he is in army so not possible to meet. He told he would send in my address next day and told me to pay 3k for the parcel to be delivered. Next day he called me and asked to pay half the amount for delivery. So i paid as i believe in indian army. Few moments later he called me again to pay the full amount to make the complete challan. I confused little and i paid the same. Again few moments later he told due to late payment fine has been imposed. This time i came to know that this is fraud.
I don't know what to do. Shall i complain to police. How can they be punished how can i get refund?

All though i have lodged a complaint against them in police station bt i know that nothing is going to happen they are fraud and they are not afraid of anyone.

I have seen an advertisement on OLX for IPhone 5 SE 32 GB in 5500
I have called that guy named "Mohan Kumar" on True Caller it was showing "MOHAN KUMAR CISF" spoke with that person he said I will courier you the phone from Indian Army Military Courier Service, I don't need to pay any money now but when I send you the receipt you have to pay me the courier charges, I agreed and said ok, Then I have received the receipt on whatsapp for 440, so I have transferred 500, after an hour I have received call from Mohan Kumar he asked me to transfer 2000 as he needed in emergency, I thought the courier was on the way so I transferred the amount, in the evening I have received a call from the delivery man whose number was also mentioned on receipt and checked on true caller it was showing me "RAHUL SHARMA COURIER BOY MILITARY COURIER SERVICE" I thought it was genuine he asked me to send 3999 as a half insurance verification amount so that he receive the delivery message so he can deliver the same I called Mohan Kumar and he said let me talk to the courier service and after 10 min I received call again stating yes you have to do its army procedure which he wasn't aware, I said ok and transferred 3999 through Google pay to "RATAN SINGH INDIAN ARMY" after 10 Min Rahul Sharma the delivery man called and asked you have to pay 3999 more you have to pay the whole insurance amount for the verification, I again confirmed with Mohan Kumar and again he replied I will ask and get back to you and after few minutes I have received call from Mohan Kumar saying yes you have to do that and I again transferred the same amount, to “RATAN SINGH INDIAN ARMY” and then I thought now my mobile is 10 minutes away from me I wasn’t aware that this a scam going on after 10 minutes I have received call again from Rahul Sharma stating that I have did a big mistake the Insurance verification amount was 7999 so you have to transfer 4000” there I thought that this is a scam I tried to request Mohan Kumar to return back my money or to do something by his side he said don’t worry just wait for 40 days you will get back your money”

We have been cheated by a buyer (He wanted to buy the dinning table of which we posted an ad) who claimed to work in indian army. His name is sohan. He tricked us into a scam and rs 24, 900 was debited from our account. He kept on sending qr codes and asked us to transfer which would be refunded by him. But there was no refund and now he's making excuses and not returning the money. As we don't have any contact details apart from the phone number, we are unable to take any stern action. Kindly help.
