Valentine’s Day is over but the Chinese community celebrates Chap Goh Mei (Chinese Valentine’s Day) today. In conjunction with the month of love, Carousell Malaysia launched a campaign, #MakeSpaceForLove, to encourage Malaysians to let go and sell their ex’s items of its marketplace.
“Decluttering your ex’s items is one of the most effective ways to move on from a failed relationship and find something better for yourself. We expect that more Malaysians will follow suit to make space for new love,” said Tang Siew Wai, Country Head of Carousell Malaysia.
Last year, 5,733 Malaysians transacted on the classifieds marketplace during Valentine’s Day and that number has increased by 15% to 6,596 transactions this year. It’s clear that that Malaysians are utilising Carousell in more and more unique ways.
The campaign that took place on its marketplace also initiated a contest where users are required to illustrate the reason behind the selling of their ex’s items. Winner of the contest, @bubblejasmine said, “I am selling my book, ‘The Infinite Moment of Us”, because it has taught me unconditional love. Not all loves are meant to lasts (sic) forever but it is more important to understand the meaning of true love.”

Not everyone was talking about their exes though, as some users like @beautytreats used the marketplace to finance a romantic getaway with her husband.
It is not over until you declutter your exes’ items. For more information, follow Carousell on https://my.carousell.com or download the Carousell app from the Apple Store or Google Play Store.

DeleteI used to buy many things on carousell and now I sell there too... Just use my FB id to register. no hassle
DeleteSo their sell their ex gifts at Carousell? Seem like good for environmental friendly...
ReplyDeleteNot really, some of people are selling their items and use those money to buy a new item for his/her lover.
Deletenot necessarily... I think I'll pamper myself with the money.. and i think this is a better way to let go of those things
Deletelet it goo.. let it gooo.... let sell it at carousell . hahahha
DeleteActually Carousell only can sell second hand/used items?
Deletenot just that, they even have new things and also services like moving lorry.. Just need to double check whether it is labelled as used or new for items..
DeleteIt that easy to sell on Carousell? Because my friend also got sell somethings at there. Don't know until now he got earn or not..
DeleteQuite sure he earns something... for me sometimes I dont sell it for the money or profit but to clear up my room..
DeleteSome of the second hand items look like new condition, but difficult to identify the condition la if just only look at the picture.
ReplyDeleteThen you can opt for meet up.. actually this is the option that made me register as a seller on Carousell
Deleteand the fact that we can just arrange the meet up on there apps is better.. Esp for ladies as it is safer, no need to disclose private number...

DeleteMeet up or delivery better? Because meet up just available for certain buyers who willing to come over your place, and that might be difficult to increase the sale.
DeleteBoth have own pros... and for me I sell not as a business... so Im not worried of sale increase.. I just want to clear away some of the stuffs and hoped that it could be useful to others
Deleteusually the things that ex gave to us must be condition 9/10 , soo the possibility people to buy is most wanted.
ReplyDeleteThat depend which type of gifts. Like handbag and clothes that frequently use will make some damage..
DeleteThat also depends la.... He gave me a clutch, I think I used it once or maybe twice before we split... so its still nice.... I think Ill put it on Carousell later
DeleteIf you snap it nicely, I think still got people would buy from you. Because sometimes i saw those sellers uploaded blur picture and that make customer can't identify easily the product condition.

DeleteIf not mistaken, Carousell even shared an article on this and even encourage sellers to take pictures with white background so that potential buyers can see the goods properly.
Deletein my opinion, carousell is a good platform to regain your money back after you spent to whoever that never appreciate you...
ReplyDeleteThen you got use this platform to sell your items? Is it easy to sell?
Deleteyup, for its the most casual platform to sell things its different from other online shopping platforms and safer than selling on social media
Deleteneed to agree with this.. their messaging system is the best. when you message to buyers, the texts are all kept in their database, just in case anything happens.. all without letting anyone know your personal contact number.
