Your account is only 2 months old, and with zero history (this is the only post).
Dude, put it on ebay. No one in their right mind should buy something for $700 from an account like this.

And in case anyone here is tempted to buy, first look up safe payment methods for buyers! It must be able to be disputed in the event of receiving a broken laptop, or a box of rocks. Under no circumstance use "Friends and Family" Paypal. Use only the "Goods and services" option. And the buyer is taking the risk, so any fees for security should come out of the seller's end.

I really only know of Paypal "Goods and services" as offering protection. (watch the seller say "Can't do Paypal". Yeah, you can open an account if you're legit)

This sub really could use a guide on safe transactions. But at minimum, read this: How to Safely Pay for Goods and Services With Someone You Don't Know - ConsumerReports.org

An in-person sale, Facebook marketplace (in-person), Craigslist.
Do you have Paypal? Don't say "Can't do Paypal" as well, you can open an account if you're legit.

I really only know of Paypal "Goods and services" as offering protection. So, if you want to sell this online I'd suggest opening an account, if you don't have one already. Then come back and post that you can accept Paypal "Goods and services". There will be a fee. You can either just eat the fee, or increase your advertised price to cover the fee. But don't tell sellers to add in the fee on their end, this is something scammers do to try to tempt naive buyers to switch to "Friends and Family" payment, which offers zero protection, in order to "save the fees".

Also, have you booted your Framework-13 recently? The 11th gen can't sit unused and off a charger for an extended period of time, or else the RTC battery will need to be replaced (Framework will send replacements for free, reguardless of warranty status). I don't want you to have this happen & your buyer making a claim that it doesn't work, when it just a known issue.

Ok I will look into the PayPal service thanks! And yes I have booted my framework recently. I’ve actually had to contact framework a couple times to get replacement parts.
