OLX (Philippines) is the remaining online “go to” site for buy and sell items. We go there if we want to look for pre-loved items, we visit the site if we want to unclutter our condo units with items that need to be liquidated.
The Philippines has currently over 40 million smartphone users and with this number expected to grow further, OLX updates its app anew to deliver an even better experience for its growing community.
The all-new OLX App boasts of new user-friendly features that make buying and selling fun, quick, and efficient.
Effortless Log-In
Start buying or selling with your mobile number or Facebook account.
The updated app has a required log-in feature to ensure that all buyers and sellers are registered. It’s a quick and easy process as all you’ll need is either your Facebook account or your mobile number.
One option is to use your mobile number where you can simply wait for a verification code to create your account. Another option is to use your Facebook account, your profile picture is immediately synced to your OLX profile. Existing users that log in via mobile number can also sync their Facebook by simply going to “Settings” and tap “Facebook connect” to start the sync. This will help you to have a complete profile page.
Browse Ads Near You
Looking for that perfect item can take hours especially when different categories are lumped together in your search results. Luckily, the new app has a content-first home screen that immediately shows ads that are within your vicinity.
This feature is available when your GPS feature of your smartphone is turned on.
Selling made easier and faster
On the “sell” function, one of the features is its ready access to your phone camera making it more convenient to snap an actual photo of the item you’re selling.
The app also introduces a new “sell” form which contains a couple of nifty features. Upon posting your picture and title, the form generates the category of the item you wish to sell. If
If you are unsure about the price, the form also generates a price suggestion that is based on prices indicated in similar ads. The form practically auto fills making selling a lot easier!
