There's a whole lot of weird listings for women's clothes that show off the woman's body more than the item she is selling, and the price always seems way too high or way too low for what the item is Like it will be an athletic top and there will be multiple full body images and it. Here's some observations i've made that'll help you have a better selling experience Keep conversations short and concise Facebook has a system in place that attempts to prevent any ratings from being sent unless the item is marked sold or a certain number of messages between. As for the fake looking profiles, i think a lot of people just use facebook for the marketplace like me
I don't have any friends or posts on facebook because i only use it for buying and selling. The name i use on facebook is not my legal name I do not like my legal name for deeply personal reasons that i will not get into on here People i know know me by my chosen name A few times over the last year or two, i have gotten notifications from facebook insisting that i upload photo id to confirm my name 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
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. I haven't used fb marketplace in a long time, and only got back into it recently I went to see if i had any ratings (i can't remember if they had the rating system back when i was using it a lot), and i saw that i had one rating that was one star I have no idea who gave it to me or why I know for a fact that i haven't been a bad seller or buyer.
Limit reached because you're new to marketplace, there's a temporary limit on how much you can list and message We do this to help build a better community for buyers and sellers New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast Best open comment sort options best automoderator • moderator announcement. I casually googled facebook marketplace scam paypal chargeback, hoping to get more info, or at least what protection policy is in place This post was on the first page and i got stumped after reading your experience.
I am moving from a lcol area to a hcol area, and i'm having much better luck finding apartments in my price range on facebook marketplace than apartments.com, street easy, etc. I just fell victim to a scam through both venmo and facebook marketplace that i thought i'd put out there for anyone unaware…
