Funny enough, I prefer craigslist because I don't want my personal identity involved in a simple transaction like buying electronics. It's not like you have much recourse if you get scammed on marketplace, the user can just use a fake account and delete it after scamming you
- yCombLinks 4y agoYeah, but you can quickly look at a profile and get basic verification it looks real. If it doesn't just don't transact with them. I've been 100x more confident in facebook marketplace than craigslist
- Damogran6 4y agoMy only experience with FB marketplace had a gal selling an iPad from the northeast…only to receive a receipt from a dude in Turkey. FB, PayPal, the bank all stopped the charges quickly enough, but it was 6 weeks of bullshit in the meantime.
