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.
There are many classified sites, however, the expertise and features we offer are unique; hence making your site stand out from the crowd.
