I'm in Canada - the risk of being robbed and killed is somewhat less than in the U.S. Probably similar to 95% of the US, and most of us are smart enough not to go into the other 5%...

I don’t sell any parts on those sites mentioned. Yeah, I’m an old eBay seller (22 plus years) & still prefer that method. Though, I’m not a fan of eBay managed payments or the fees. I’ll give up on eBay in a few years & hopefully everything will be sold off by then.

There is no term, it is either yes or no. Farcebook marketplace gives the term "is it still available" in each ad, so many people are just too lazy to communicate and just hit the box...
The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

I'm in Canada - the risk of being robbed and killed is somewhat less than in the U.S. I hate the auto responses but do try to be civil, I just answer "yes, any questions about the ______ I can answer for you?" I always check the profile before inviting them over, no friends, new account or a bunch of "drugs are awesome!!!" type posts we meet at a parking lot, preferably near the police station. If they been on there for years with family pics, good amount of friends (butt not too many as that can also be a red flag) then we can probably meet at the house or my work as that is actually much more convenient. My house is secluded and my wife and 9 kids are there by their selves a lot so I don't need a bunch of strangers knowing where it is. Telling people to meet me at work seems to put them at much more ease than anything else honestly butt I know a lot of people can't have random guests at their place of work so I tend to be flexible and look at each case individually.

I generally respond by hitting the delete button. Especially if I added "if the listing is up, it's available" to the post. This I have the problem that no matter how I respond I get no response. I saw a router for sale and said hey I want it, where and how can I get with you to pick it up? Told him where I was and gave him my number. Nothing.. Nada .... Crickets.... The guy continued to list it for a few more days and apparently sold it to somebody else. What do you have to say to get a response. It's so bad I don't even bother trying to buy stuff online anymore.

I always put "will not respond to generic statements like "is this item still available"" in the last line of my ad.
I've found the people who don't take the time or thought to compose a polite, proper sentence will not buy your item anyway.
