You just noticed? Helllloooo! It began to drop when they started charging for ads back in 2019. Between this and the amount of flat-out scammers on there, its all but useless now. Marketplace isn't great, but what else is there?

Our local Craigslist seems like there are less and less ads. Is everyone switching to Facebook Marketplace? Ted I probably haven’t even looked at Craigslist for over 2-3 years. I don’t even think about it anymore. Lots of guys don’t want Facebook but if I’m looking for or selling something that’s where I head. My duster (green one) just sold for my asking price (13,500.00) in less than 20 hours. Probably had 20 people message me in that time. I have five people on a list if the deal fell through. I just bought a valve and seat machine from Ohio and the guy even delivered it and put it in place.

I don't know John...I really don't want to do Facebook... Didn't mean to come across so harsh. Yeah, facebook is the anti-christ but, aside from their market place, there are specific groups to sell stuff. As well as special interest groups. You DON'T have to give out personal information to be on FB. Matter of fact, I always encourage to give as little info as possible. You can control a majority of what shows up on your page. No, I'm not a big fan of FB either, just trying to make the best of what's available.

Ok you don’t have to give personal info to sign up. But how does one stop them from gathering information from those signed up to spy on them and then sell the data to anyone and everyone? I know other sites do it too, I look at MSN often for news and it’s obvious now that they spied on me and target ads and stories to what I like or have looked up recently. It creeps me out, someone mentions they have a medical condition, I look it up online to learn about the disease, then for weeks afterward I get pop ups and header ads for drugs, doctors and sometimes malpractice attorneys related to that condition! That comes from gathering data from an ISP address not from signing up, I’m not signed up for msn just look at the site. So what is the answer, get a search engine like duck duck go? A personal vsp or vsn whatever it’s called, service? I’m tired of being spied on and Facebook is the worst as far as violating privacy from what I can tell. So I don’t sign up.

To me, it's just like all those people who complain about being video taped by someone. Cameras are EVERYWHERE now.
I don't have an answer, I've had my dealings with FB and them giving out my info (I've told the story regarding my phone # several times on here).

The cameras are everywhere for security, I don’t know to what extent they can be used to compile data on individuals that can later be used against them. Based on comments seen here and else where, ALL your personal info can be had by putting your license plate on the internet.................. (being sarcastic here) Don't be stupid with your info and just live.

I list things on CL and they sell sooner or later, most dont want the 150 miles each way drive to my place to buy things so I price them to make up for it or I will drive an hour each way if the item is a couple hundred or more to make the sale.
STOP POTATO HATE!

Last year I put my BMW on FB Marketplace. Got some interest, but it wasn't as much as I had hoped. So, I put it on CL. EVERY response was a scammer. I finally put a line in the ad for anybody who read the ad, even if they weren't interested, to send me an email through CL. ONE guy responded. .
FB may be the evil empire, BUT it has also become the de facto public square, albeit an extremely imperfect one. It is also the place where I have contact with some very old and dear friends. I generally don't do politics there, either.

I still look at the Moparts classified ads. I’m not a fan of FB. As a seller on eBay for 22 plus years, I’m still there because it weeds out a lot of people. Though, sales are a bit slower & fees are high.

Ebay finially foreced me into the managed payment deal approx 3 months ago and that put an end to my selling, just dont like the way the program is structured. I still look at t
he Moparts classified ads. I’m not a fan of FB. As a seller on eBay for 22 plus years, I’m still there because it weeds out a lot of people. Though, sales are a bit slower & fees are high.
