We recently moved cross country and my wife tried to sell a lot of our stuff on Facebook marketplace so we didn't have to ship it. She dealt with an INSANE amount of bullshit. A lot of it was exactly as you said, they express interest and set up a specific time to come buy the item. Then just... don't, and we never hear from them again. Like 5-10 of these for the same piece of furniture or whatever. Then there were the obvious scams (I don't understand how they work, but they were clearly not legit buyers). Where someone's first message is a demand for your Venmo or Zelle account name, and when you respond with anything but what they asked for they just disappear. And finally there's the perverts who see a woman posting online and use it as an avenue to sexually harass her. Aggressive demands for address and phone number right off the bat, unsolicited nude photos, it's extremely gross. So, yeah, I would say the experience of posting on Facebook Marketplace is as bad or worse than anything else. Especially if you're a woman.
