I have the opposite happen - as a seller, a thousand people say they're interested, one or more will schedule a pickup time and payment method, pickup time comes and goes and they completely ghost me. Makes me super averse to holding anything because I get ghosted so often. FB Marketplace is very frustrating!
I have both issues. My husband finds great deals, something just posted, on way to get it. BOOM already sold. Or list things and people ask a million questions even though answers are in description of item. Everyone begs for item then never shows
I know this is a joke, but there’s no way in hell I would pay for something before I saw it. People really don’t understand what “used - like new” means. 😂 I’ve also had people try to scam me by asking for the money upfront and then blocking me when I said I didn’t feel comfortable with that.
they might not be scamming you. they just dont have time for you to think about something then possibly ghost them later. if you really want something you'll send a deposit.
