I just looooove (read: hate) the ratings system on FB Marketplace. We bought a house semi-recently and it conveyed a front-loader washer dryer set. Wife wanted to get rid of it after about 6 months. I list it for an incredibly reasonable rate based on local past sales, eg a standalone washer routinely sells for $200 so I sold a set for $200.
Then come the low-ballers, they want to offer only $50 or $100 for my set. I click through into their profiles and see that they are resellers of washers and dryers in bulk so they want to buy and flip my set. I decline.
Well, after only 3 messages a “buyer” can rate you as a seller so I have a stack of 1-star reviews from resellers angry that I politely declined to sell to them when I had a queue of asking-price buyers lined up to buy same-day.
Trash system.
