Man that place is a dumpster fire. Why is communication so difficult? Here’s my most recent experience.
Seller- Aluminum boat for sale
Me -Ask questions
Seller-answers within three minutes
Me- ask a couple more questions
Seller- answers within 5 minutes
Me- What's your schedule look like so we can meet up and I can look at it and possibly take it home?
Seller- answers within 5 minutes
Me- okay, that works great. Where do you live or where do you want to meet?
Seller- An hour later and no answer.

Some people aren't on FB 24/7, and some just are not very responsive.

Honestly it's not much better than Craigslist most of the time

There are several reasons I can think of that at some point in a conversation like that in which one person might suddenly be delayed in responding.
Seller had to go to work.
Seller had to eat supper with the family, help get kids bathed, homework done and kids to bed.
Seller had a prior engagement that necessitated full attention.
Those are just a few off the top of my head.

Character is not developed in moments of temptation and trial. That is when it is intended to be used.

FB Marketplace isn't too bad if you have the right expectations and do a couple of things... 1. Just add a note at the end of every listing stating "Automated 'is this available' type messages will be ignored and deleted", and then follow through with it. The problem is that on every listing, FB has a pre-populated "is this available" message with a "send" button ready to go. The "send" button is conveniently on the right side of the page, and since most people are right-handed, it's easy to accidentally hit that with your thumb while scrolling. I'd guess a majority of the people that you get that message from don't even realize you sent it. But I put that disclaimer there so that anyone that is intentionally messaging me knows to send an actual message if they expect a response. 2. "Local only - no shipping". If I get a message from someone that isn't in my area, I completely ignore and delete it unless they specifically say they'll be in my area or something to that effect. Do I potentially miss out on a sale here or there? Possibly, but I'll just move on to the next person. 3. Choose a meet-up spot that is convenient to YOU (as a seller). If the buyer is serious, they'll meet you...if not, you didn't go way out of your way or waste a lot of time. As a buyer, I haven't ever really had any issue showing up to buy something and the [/i]seller[/i] standing me up. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/uXP6mqI.jpg)

Never did hear back from them. Just odd for them to answer so quickly then radio silence when I asked about meeting up. Just the Lord telling me that ain’t the one for me.

I've probably used FB Marketplace for the last time!! I immediately had several obvious scam replies and since I placed that ad, I get about 10 spam calls a day!! Aldeer classified has been a much better option for me.

I really don't remember. It wasn't in the add though, I'm very protective of my cell number.
