  I haven’t had Facebook in years, but I’ll admit the marketplace is pretty damn good for finding secondhand deals. Luckily (unluckily) my wife doesn’t give two shits about being spied on so I browse it from her phone

    Marketplace was fantastic for buying and selling all sorts of stuff for years, but it is now plagued with fake listings and scams and all kinds of undesirable shit now. The scammers seem to have no problem whatsoever cranking out new accounts on the regular, and Facebook doesn’t seem to give a shit. Any time I report any of the scam listings I get a response from FB about 3 weeks later saying they did nothing wrong, so they took no action. Fuck Facebook.

      It must be location dependent, but our local marketplace is a goldmine (it also might just be an FB group, not sure where all that’s at these days). Every now and again you get some dufus trying to pull some shady shit, but this is a small town where most everyone knows each other, and people are pretty quick to call it out.
