New features for registered users launched at Pikaba. Since now creating request becomes easier and simpler. 

What is this all about?

New interface has been developed for creating requests at Pikaba.

All request data are entered in one page and the procedure takes only one step. It is much more useful, isn’t it?

Besides, we help you to compose your request correctly. Pikaba automatically add the right set of tags and pictures for your request and suggests matching categories. You can place your request in up to 5 categories and choose several pictures for it.

It’s very important for you to fill right tags and location. You will receive more matching results for your request.

And one more thing. Put the desirable price or a range of prices in your request and get the best offers from Pikaba sellers.

Join us and create new requests on Pikaba!

 

Karen Aho, a freelance writer in Boston, recently created a wonderful, in-depth article on organizing a group buy on the Internet: "All alone? Get a group discount". The piece was published by MSN Money and, before that, I had the honor of presenting the Pikaba’s group buying capabilities to Karen.

“Online opportunities expand the advantages of co-ops for buying cars, food, gas and more. What if shoppers had one place to go to create a group buy for any item?” – Karen wrote.

Read the full article - where Pikaba.com is also mentioned in the Online Sharing Sites part.

You can take advantage of group buying by creating (or joining) a group on Pikaba and get quick help from other members, sellers, and advisors.
