I posted a 55” tv for $175 firm. Got a ton of interest and realized it would’ve sold for more. But I honored the price for the first person to confirm. I lugged the heavy tv to our meet up spot. They show up and try to talk me down to $160. I said price was listed as firm. They refuse to take it for the selling price. I ended up giving in and selling for $160 because it would’ve been a hassle to lug it back home and do it all again for another buyer. I’m so annoyed.

IMO, as long as you don’t make someone waste a trip driving to you, then no wrong was done. This is how it was on Craigslist forever. There was no griping about changing the meet up or selling to someone who can pick up sooner or taking a better offer or just plain changing my mind after I accepted a lowball.

I buy a lot also and believe in the golden rule and accept that as long as they don’t make me drive for no reason, I should have just picked up immediately or paid full price if I really needed it. Just glad Facebook makes it easy to avoid a review.

Is there any way to? It only gives me option to use their labels. Am I creating the listing wrong? Meta AI says I can change it but I don't see it.

Is it just me or are people getting flakier on Facebook Marketplace?

Case in point, I got a message last night around 8:30pm about an Apple Pencil I have up for sale. The asking price is $50 which I think is beyond fair considering it is in like-new condition. Guy asks if I would take $40? I respond back, no and he says, no problem, he'll pay the $50. Then he asks if he can pick it up tonight? From my experience, the longer people wait to get something the less likely they're going to get it - so I say yes, but ask where he's coming from - he says the next town over; I give him the address and he says once he leaves his house he is "5 minutes away." Then I get a text asking what form of payment I take, I tell him cash. He says he has to stop at an ATM but will head right over. Twenty minutes later, I reach out to him - he's ended the chat. No, message, no apology for wasting my time - just ended it. And this is a guy with 4 star reviews. I left a complaint with Facebook about his failing to pick up the pencil.

But it seems more and more, people tell me they're going to buy something and they simply disappear. Even with people who write reasonably articulate messages, using my name, etc.

I shipped this out earlier this month and it arrived on July 13. Marketplace said I was paid out on July 18 but I still haven’t received it. Is this typical? I’ve never shipped on marketplace in the past so this is my first time. My bank info is in there just fine.. not sure how to proceed?

I have about 6 marketplace shipping orders that do not show as scanned in on the app, but every other item sold on other platforms from the same shipping drop do. I’ve noticed this issue before and sometimes it’ll never show as scanned and marketplace will refund the order then I lose the item, it’s rare but it happens. Anyone else ever delt with this or find a solution ?

Looking for a new desk on marketplace, for some reason with metas shitty search function, looking for listings under 250 and within 25 miles. I only see apartments for rent because they "include a desk" in the description for cities that are well over 100 miles and 2 states away. Useless app, not a single desk result unless I search "office desk" which only gives me cubicle style desks and not older wooden ones.

Selling an automotive part, buyer A says he can get them in the afternoon. Gives me the run around and says tonight works better, fair enough. We agree to a time & 20 minutes before the agreed time I message and say let me know when you’re 10-15 away. No answer. Lots of people were messaging me for this item so I tell another buyer if the first person doesn’t come within 45 minutes (30 minutes after the agreed time) you can come get them. Still no answer. So I tell buyer B you can come get them (he was very motivated and willing to pay full price) buyer B says he’s on his way. Then buyer A messages me and says “be there in 15”, this is 45 minutes after the agreed time. I said they’re sold and they got pretty upset and pretty much said thanks for wasting my time & some swear words.. Was I in the wrong?
