It's been 24 hours so i don't think it's a lag time thing. Mark as sold = one item mark as out of stock = a listing with multiple items in stock however, facebook can glitch and think you have multiple in stock if you selected multiple “meetup preferences” edit the item and either choose 1 or no meet up preferences, then save This gets asked here like once a week. Out of fear of falling for a scam, i backed out of an offer for an ikea couch when the seller asked for a deposit to hold it so i could pick it up over the weekend She said that there were many people who messaged her and expressed interest Reading online, i was told to never give any money until you see the item itself, even a deposit
But i was also looking on this subreddit and it looks. Asking for phone numbers on facebook marketplace is a very common scam As another user pointed out, these scammers collect your phone number and then sell it to robocallers and other nefarious scammers. Seems like facebook is changing that however because a few days ago it changed, and then you had to click on the ad you made and view it in the marketplace and then you’re able to list in more places to your local groups however, it seems that option is now gone as well. Was having the same issue On your app, try go to marketplace click on marketplace profile go to your listing select your product under listed in 1 or x place, click on marketplace you should have the option to mark it as pending now.
This was a bit more useful when shipping wasn't offered but it still lets you find listings which might not have shipping. I just fell victim to a scam through both venmo and facebook marketplace that i thought i'd put out there for anyone unaware… Facebook only wants you to use your real account on marketplace Which makes sense because it acts as a scam prevention mechanism Even if you make the most realistic profile possible you will probably be banned for only using marketplace and not having friends or using other parts of facebook to make you look like an actual person.
