12 of Fiji's Best Classified Websites

Hello,

Part of the guide Classifieds sites by country

In short

The original list covers general (Lako Mai, Market, Fiji USA UK), car (Bula Cars, Car Sales, Car 4 Sale), real estate and jobs classified sites in Fiji.
An October 2026 check found Lako Mai, Fiji Realty, Market, Recruitment Fiji, Vacancies In Fiji and Property offline or broken, so confirm a site has recent ads first.
Fiji had about 741,000 internet users at the end of 2025 and Facebook reached 569,000 people, so Facebook groups and Marketplace are worth checking too.
In July 2026 the Consumer Council of Fiji received 35 complaints about online sellers whose goods never arrived.
Check seller history, pay traceably, get a written tenancy agreement, never pay to apply for a job, and report problems to the Consumer Council or the FCCC.

This week we’ll focus on the beautiful islands of Fiji. The Kai Viti, the indigenous Fijians call the islands Viti. The meaning of Kai Viti is either “the owners of the homeland” or “ The people of Viti. Altogether, there are 333 islands to which 233 - 237 have no inhabitants. The main source of the economy is agriculture and tourism.

Buying and Selling Online in Fiji in 2026: What to Know

Fiji's online classifieds have changed a lot since this list was first written. When we checked the links in October 2026, several had gone offline:

Lako Mai and Fiji Realty: the domains are now for sale.
Market and Recruitment Fiji: the addresses no longer load.
Vacancies In Fiji: redirects to fijivacancies.com, which doesn't load either.
Property: returned a server error.

Check that a site is active, with recent ads, before you rely on it.

Where Fijians are online

According to DataReportal's Digital 2026: Fiji report (published November 8, 2025), Fiji had about 741,000 internet users at the end of 2025, or 79.3% of the population. Meta's advertising tools could reach 569,000 people on Facebook (60.9% of the population), 466,000 on Messenger and 284,000 on Instagram. With few dedicated classifieds sites left, Facebook groups, Marketplace and local business pages are worth checking alongside the specialist sites. The ones that remain, such as Car 4 Sale for vehicles, are still useful because they focus on one category.

Scams are rising: what Fiji's regulators say

On July 28, 2026, the Consumer Council of Fiji said it had received 35 complaints against several online trading platforms believed to be run by the same individual. Buyers paid for goods that never arrived, and their refund requests were ignored. The Council's CEO, Seema Shandil, warned that an active social media presence doesn't prove a seller is genuine (FBC News).

In May 2025, the Fijian Competition and Consumer Commission (FCCC) reported a spike in complaints about tenancy fraud, misleading pricing and digital scams. It said more than half of rental complaints involved landlords who did not issue a formal tenancy agreement. Its research with the Global Anti-Scam Alliance found Fijians exposed to online sales scams, fake investments, and job offers that ask for upfront payment (FBC News).

A quick safety checklist

Buying goods: check the seller's history and reviews from other buyers. Meet in person or use a payment method you can trace, and keep screenshots of the ad, your messages and your receipts.
Renting: ask for a written tenancy agreement and a receipt for every rent and bond payment before you hand over money.
Jobs: a real employer doesn't charge you to apply. Treat any request for an upfront fee as a red flag.
If something goes wrong: report it to the Consumer Council of Fiji or the FCCC, along with the records you kept.

Publish this as your safety page and link it from every listing and message screen; add your own payment and reporting details.

BUY AND SELL SAFELY ON [SITE NAME] Most people on [Site name] are genuine. These simple habits protect you from the few who are not. MEETING IN PERSON: - Meet in a busy public place in daylight, such as a shopping centre or outside a police station. [Add local safe-trade spots if you have them.] - Tell a friend where you are going, or bring someone with you. - For large items at a home, do not go alone, and keep valuables out of sight when buyers visit yours. - Check the item fully before you pay. Test electronics, and check that serial numbers match any paperwork. - For vehicles, see the registration documents and check the item is not reported stolen or under finance where your country allows. PAYING AND GETTING PAID: - Best for in-person deals: pay or get paid on the spot, once you have seen the item. - [If your site has payments:] Pay through [Site name]'s checkout. Your money is held until you confirm you received the item. Payments made outside the site are not covered. - Never pay in advance by gift cards, wire transfer, money transfer services or crypto to someone you have not met. - Sellers: do not hand over an item until the money is in your account. A screenshot or an email "confirming payment" is not proof. - Be careful with cash for large amounts; consider a bank transfer you can see arrive before handing over. SIGNS OF A SCAM: - A price far below what the item usually sells for. - The other person cannot meet, is "abroad" or wants to use a courier you have never heard of. - They send you to a payment link or website that is not [Site name]. - They overpay and ask you to send back the difference. - They ask for codes sent to your phone, your passwords or ID photos. - They push you to decide quickly or move the chat off the site.
