Facebook Marketplace is better than Craigslist. Buyers have a history by default ("On Facebook since 2009" etc) which is nice.

- wdb 6y agoWouldn't be more interested in how active the user has been over the last year? I haven't used my account for years but signed up a long time ago. You can easily buy Facebook account which have been old but might not have been active for a long time. To me being on Facebook since 2009 is not really a great indicator for trust.
- triceratops 6y agoIt requires you to have a Facebook account. This by definition makes it an inferior product. I've been buying and selling stuff on Craigslist for years, never had a problem. If you're really paranoid about getting ripped off, do the transaction in the parking lot of your local police station.
- baby 6y agoI'm moving out right now and using facebook to sell out my stuff, and let me tell you, you are missing out
- virginieAFP 6y agoHi, I work for a global news agency AFP and I'm doing a story about people leaving San Francisco because of remote work/pandemic. Can I talk to you? https://www.afp.com/en/news-hub https://www.afp.com/en/news-hub
- baby 6y agoSure thing, you can reach out to me through the contact page in my profile
- triceratops 6y agoThere are always enough buyers and sellers on Craiglist and I never have a problem with the price. Unless FB is going to physically deliver the stuff from door to door for free, I'm not missing out on anything valuable compared to what I'd give up.
- baby 6y agoDon’t knock it til’ you try it
