  Isn’t Facebook marketplace an awful place to buy things? The only people I know used it all got scammed.

  USA: eBay
  JP: Rakuten
  NL: Marktplaats

  There is probably a zillions better alternative in w/e country you are, if not online then flee markets or thrift stores

    Not awful. I’ve had only positive experiences. No buyer protections, but it’s hard to get scammed buying something in person from someone local, unless you get it home before realizing it’s fake/broken, or they kidnap you and lock you in their basement. There are pretty simple precautions you can take against either, not that there’s any foolproof solution…but I wouldn’t say awful.

    Be cautious. Obviously don’t send money before you get something and make sure it’s functional.

  Agreed. Getting something second-hand is almost always better.
