### 3/5 — Poor Functions/User Experience

*2024-05-14*

I love the app concept but this app is not user friendly. Poshmark is much easier to use and has better function. I just wanna use this app for kids clothes with Poshmark function. My complaints are 
1. Not great cancel function. I had an experience that the seller hadn’t ship for two weeks and I canceled the purchase. But the seller could sell and, of course, payment was happen. The seller missed one item of my perchase and both of us, seller and I, contacted support. Then the seller could change the total cost by herself as she wanted even the calculation was incorrect. As a result, I needed to paid more than what I received. I never agreed the changed price. How could this happen? Easy to use for fraud. We need to believe seller are nice people. It’s a joke. 
2. Keep having all shipping fees total even after you make bundles. I buy several clothes to reduce shipping fee rates per perchase and I need to make offer every time just for that. 
3. Can’t make counter offer to offer from seller. I have no idea for this. Seems I need to wait until the offer is expired or make bundles again and make an offer? 
4. Not great sort function. The favorite list doesn’t show seller names and that makes difficult to make bundles, I hope show the names or have a sort function. Bundles/Offer doesn’t show each clothes size, I think it’s important for kids clothes.

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We appreciate your suggestions regarding functionality, as we are constantly working on improvements. Your input helps us make the app better for everyone. If you have any specific features you'd like to see or further suggestions, please feel free to reach out. We value your feedback!

### 1/5 — Does anyone actually get their orders on this app…?

*2023-09-06*

I frequently use Mercari and Poshmark, and they are my go-to for resale and sourcing clothing. At first I was excited to find the Kidizen app since it was geared more toward baby and children clothing, but  I guess I’ll have to stick to my go-tos. I’ve ordered 4 separate items from 4 different sellers at different times on the Kidizen app, and each and every time they have been cancelled. Granted, this happens occasionally when using Mercari and Poshmark as well, but it’s few and far between in my experiences. It’s extremely frustrating to find cute clothing for a reasonable price, only to never receive it and keep getting refunded. Also, selling on the app isn’t worth it, in my opinion. I sold a brand new sweater for $7, only to actually make $2 after fees and purchasing the shipping label.

**Developer response:** We're so sorry to hear about the experiences you had with your purchases and can understand your frustration! We would appreciate knowing more to see how we can make this right. If you are willing, please reach out to our Support team by sending an email to hello@kidizen.com.

### 3/5 — Barely functional “faves” feature

*2023-08-20*

Review from a buyer, not a seller. This app keeps favorites on the main “me” menu, in some mysterious order. I’d like to be able to compare faves from different searches in one place, so keeping them in order added would be the bare minimum. It would also be nice to be able to unfavorite something straight from that screen instead of going to each individual listing, scrolling down, and unclicking the heart. And have a way to filter by “unsold”/“still available”. This part of the app needs a lot of attention. Developers should check out other common shopping app “favorites” features (best imo is Etsy but that’s elaborate; see ThreadUp for similar market or Target for simple).

**Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. We appreciate the great feedback!

### 5/5 — 5 star customer service

*2023-05-02*

I've been selling on the Kidizen app for many years. While I sell stuff on multiple platforms it has always been my go to for baby and children items. I love that payment from sales are released as soon as package is tracking, no waiting. Above all other reselling sites, Kidizen hands down has the best customer service. I have only needed to contact them a few times, but I'm always impressed with how quick they respond and handle things. Definitely sets them apart! Highly recommend coming from myself as both a seller and buyer.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your wonderful review! We're so happy to hear that you enjoy buying and selling on Kidizen!

### 1/5 — So long to ship and no warnings to buyers about slow sellers/failure to send from sellers

*2023-04-22*

I tried to purchase an item on here and I joined this app solely to purchase said item. I waited 3 weeks to have the seller ship the item and they never did. Poshmark gives a whopping 7 days before everything gets refunded and makes sure to send constant reminders to the seller to make it happen and it is shown as a warning to future buyers when a seller takes too long or doesn’t ship at all and has to refund an order. This platform seems to offer no warning whatsoever to the sellers proficiency in their sales. If I had known the seller takes WEEKS to send I definitely would not have bothered. That was my first and last purchase here. Was not a good experience. More anxiety and stress than it is worth just to purchase some clothing.

### 5/5 — Love!

*2022-12-17, version 16.0*

Love using this app to buy and sell for my two toddlers! Everything is streamlined for both buying and selling. I can save searches under each child’s name to easily search for items that will fit them. As a seller, I can print shipping labels directly from the app, and Kidizen automatically sends the buyer a notice with tracking info. Love this app! Thanks Kidizen!

### 5/5 — App vs website

*2022-12-09, version 16.0*

I like selling my finds on this app but the website lacks. You can only have free shipping on the website and have to edit it on the app to add shipping costs. You can’t see alerts on the website which also doesn’t make sense. I have to use my phone to see when people add my items in order to make them an offer.

### 2/5 — Forcing sellers to include shipping w/new app version

*2022-10-09, version 12.4*

I like this platform, but it is annoying, unfair and bd ethical practice to force sellers to include shipping with the new app update.

Not only Kidizen raised the shipping prices, the app did not update the already listed items with the new shipping rates IF shipping was not included. So imagine the time it takes to go back to each of your listings to update the shipping price.

Also, when buyers cart items, sellers are informed and given the option of sending them a bundle offer.
Before the update, the app will give the seller and buyer the subtotal of the items and the subtotal of shipping alone, including the total amount of discount IF the store was offering a discount.

With this update, there’s no subtotal of anything being showed. Just the price of shipping and the total. The app is not even processing the discounts correctly. 
By not showing us the subtotal of the items separate from the shipping and total, it is forcing us to include shipping in out items so we can offer a deal to our buyers.

It is horrible to have Kidizen raising shipping prices (even higher than Post office) to then not allowing us to make good business decisions of our 2nd hand items

**Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to express your concerns. Please note that sellers are welcome to ship either with a shipping label purchased through Kidizen or through a carrier of their choice. If using a shipping label purchased elsewhere, a tracking number is required to ensure timely payment once tracking for the order updates as being shipped. 

We do our best to keep shipping prices as low as possible, but unfortunately as USPS shipping costs continue to increase, we are put in the position of needing to increase shipping prices as well. Negotiated pricing for shipping labels provided through our partnership with Sendle are typically less than USPS. Shipping with Kidizen labels makes an order eligible for Kidizen Protection. Should an order that has tracked as being shipped end up becoming lost in transit, Kidizen will cover the cost of the refund, which allows sellers to keep the amount earned. 

We received direct feedback from many users regarding the disappointment with the change in subtotals. We're happy to report that subtotals are now reflected separate from shipping costs to make this clearer for both buyers and sellers. 

If we can assist further, please contact our Support Team at hello@kidizen.com. We're always happy to assist with any concerns or Support issues!

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2022-07-02, version 12.0*

This platform is a joke. Literally no seller support, the customer service representatives will do anything to put blame on sellers for anything. I’ve had instances with blocked buyers using new accounts to purchase items, with people sending harassing messages, and with people very often purchasing and canceling and customer service has always tried to spin it on me as a seller, telling me I could’ve sent a nice message, or could list items with an even more detailed description than I already give (they’re detailed) because buyers don’t read shops items and profiles. They will not remove negative feedback wrongly left, they don’t support sellers in any way. It’s just another buyer friendly, punish seller type of app. I’ll be starting to move my items off of it.

**Developer response:** We're very sorry to hear of your disappointment with Kidizen. 

We entrust both buyers and sellers on Kidizen take an active, honest, and responsible approach to the transactions they choose to conduct on the Kidizen marketplace. Should there be an issue with another user, we are happy to intervene as needed, and have done so when requested. 

To clarify, we do not restrict international buyers per se, however our capabilities do not yet support international sales, although we hope to expand those capabilities someday! When you ship an order to a US-based distribution center on behalf of a buyer, Kidizen Protection applies as with any other US shipping address should an issue arise. 

That is correct that there is a $1 cash out fee when cashing out amounts less than $15, however cash outs $15 and higher are at no cost to the seller. 

If we can address any other concerns you might have, please feel free to send a message to our Support team at hello@kidizen.com and we'll be happy to assist further!

### 3/5 — Needs improvements

*2022-06-26, version 11.6*

The most annoying thing about this app is the notifications, they don’t update when someone removes things from their cart. It just keeps the same notifications, even if they are no longer valid. So some people will add things to their cart by mistake, then remove them, and it still shows up in my feed. I would love to make offers on items that people that really want their carted items, but those notifications get dumped further down and I can no longer see them.
