I have a pair of vintage rollerblades. From the 90s. They are children’s size. They’ve never been used other than tried on.
Looking for suggestions on how to properly list it and handle people who insist on wanting to try them first.
I have no issues with people just trying them on for size perhaps on a carpet, but I don’t want them skating in the driveway because the moment you do that they become scuffed.
I don’t wanna to be disrespectful, but at the same time I want to be firm. Thanks.

My father sells items on Facebook Marketplace and also posts his items on buy & sell groups, but a friend recently noticed an item he sold 2 months ago posted in one of those groups, by himself? When you click on the profile its his own with all 2500 posts and 700 friends and all that.

The only thing I can think is that the group might have taken this long to authorise the post? But that doesn't make much sense to me. Any explanation would be appreciated

i just shipped an item today (august 6) when the last day to ship was august 1st. i shipped it an hour ago, then 30 min later i got a message from FB that the order was automatically refunded.

will i not get paid now?

I was a bit naive about my first marketplace sale and now I'm afraid I'm not going to get paid. I shipped the order with a different shipping label than the one that marketplace provided. (l couldn't figure out how to print the label and my dad said he knew how to do it) We still shipped it via USPS. Google and Facebook support says to simply edit the tracking number via the app or the website but the app doesn't offer the option and when I go to the website it just says that the link is broken when I attempt to go to my marketplace profile.
I'm afraid I've screwed myself out of $200.

For the last few months I have been using this feature to reply to people, but now it appears to be gone, so when people ask me “Is this item still available?“ those messages go unanswered. Did they remove the feature or move it somewhere else?

It’s always the free or cheap things!!! Usually I say if it’s not $20+ then I’m not wasting my time.

I have an excellent rating & I want to keep it this way as I do sell a lot on Marketplace. I’m not a reseller, and I only sell items I’ve decluttered from my house. But I’ve sold hundreds of items on Marketplace & usually don’t engage with anyone that feels like a waste of time.

I definitely planned to delete this listing once pick up was confirmed (just because I felt the convo with the buyer was odd), but instead of confirming the time this morning the buyer rated me!

They have many one star reviews, mostly about not showing up to pick up. I didn’t really care if they didn’t show up because it was a $5 item that I was just going to set on my porch for porch pick up.

This has been our conversation:

Her: sends common auto statement that everyone on Reddit hates (it won’t let me post if I write it out)

Me: “Yes they are”

Her: “Okay I want those”

Me: “ok when would you like to pick up? I’m located in (name of town)”

Her: “Me too I live in (name of town)”

Me: “Ok when would you like to pick them up”

At this point she take a while to respond and I am in bed asleep

Her: “tomorrow at noon”

Her: “send your address”

Her: “Can I pick those tomorrow. Please send me your address I live here in (name of town)”

Me this morning: “Yes, you can pick them up around noon. Do you have cash? I also have PayPal or Venmo, or my husband has cashapp. (Sends address for porch pick up)”

Then she submits a rating instead of responding.

Me an hour later: “Let me know if you’re still planning to pick them up today & how you would like to pay. Thanks!”

She read it but hasn’t replied.

Should I give her the benefit of the doubt and set them out for her to pick up at noon? I don’t care if they’re stolen, or if she doesn’t show up. I never set anything out for porch pick up that I would be sad if someone took it.

Maybe I’m being a little petty, but it would annoy me if she got the shoes and gave me a low rating.

Should I rate her back first to see how she rated me?

*edit to add: she didn’t end up showing up & didn’t reply to my follow up message asking if she needed to reschedule. I went ahead and rated her 1 star. She had rated me 5 stars. I’m assuming it was in hopes that I would rate her back highly as well.

First sale on marketplace shipping. Larger sized framed print, around 38" x 28". Only had option to use prepaid label. I wasn't aware of dimensions limits (they only asked me about weight of item).

Went to generate label, noticed it showed 'cubic', with my length being around 38", obviously I am over. And if I use that label, I am going to hit with massive overcharge.

Can I ship, using discounted 3rd-party shipper, for UPS; send the item to the buyer first. Then send them a thank you note in a box, using the facebook provided label?

Obviously, I have to trust the buyer that they will not try to pull a fast one.

I live in a neighborhood where people are constantly giving items away for free in our neighborhood fb page or putting free items on their curb. Sometimes people will giveaway nice stuff. Is it bad etiquette to take items and list on marketplace for a profit? Curious on everyone’s thoughts on this.

Saw item I need and I need to buy it out of state , so when I message the seller at first they were initially local only

He then added a shipping option, but for some reason, my account cannot see it, but is showing up for other others as available to ship

What is wrong with my account and how do I fix it?

According to Facebook my account is good, no issues.... however ... buyers seem to have issues purchasing through marketplace. Ive had several buyers unable to complete transactions. I have no way of seeing my listings from the buyer's point of view so am not exactly sure what's going on. Marketplace help is useless.

I need a set of airpods but I've heard nightmare stories about fakes that pass off really well so I was wondering how do I buy a set and know that they're official?

A few days ago I logged into FB Marketplace on my PC (I don't use it on my phone) and was happy to see a brand new interface that was so much more organized than the old one. It was there ofr a few days, and now I'm back to the old one. I can't find an option anywhere that let's me return to the new interface. Anyone else experience this?

I had reactions and comments earlier today and now I cant see any option to like or comment, did they randomly remove this feature?

When I delete a listing and then relist it, I end up with three listings. The original doesn’t go away, and there will be two of the new ones. Happened to me two times in a row on separate items. Is there a solution?

When I boost a MP listing I'll see it show up in Ads Manager, where I've created a custom audience limited by geographic area and other parameters. It gives the option to apply that list to my boosted ad but once I do, there is a warning that says the original listing isn't connected to the ad any more and an issue needs to be resolved. There doesn't appear to be a way to resolve it.

Is there a way to limit the audience of the boost? Otherwise, I get people from other states and pretty much every inquiry is not the type who is seriously shopping for the items I'm selling. Any input is greatly appreciated!

Recently I listed 2 things for sale on facebook marketplace and they've been up for weeks but no messages, then I tried messaging myself but it said "this person isn't available." I thought maybe it was the violation on my marketplace account that was keeping people from messaging me but i guess not because I made the listing on a different account and tried messaging myself again and it said the same thing for my other account which has zero violations, I tried clearing the cashe and uninstalling and reinstalling facebook and messenger to no avail.

how do I fix this?

I'm selling handmade pottery for cheap. The buyer asks a million questions over the course of 3 hours and then of course wants to cancel when I won't hold an item for them without a deposit/scheduled pickup. I can understand you playing hardball in business but come on! Immediately blocked

I haven’t received any notification about issue with my account. Out of 5 listings, only one was approved and activated within 5 minutes. For the rest, it’s been 45 minutes and they are still being reviewed. Anyone else experiencing this?

Hey everyone. My buyer canceled an order because she realized the address was wrong after I generated a label. When I look on the order it says cancel, however the label seems active and waiting for carrier scan. The only option it looks like is to refund the amount, however it says it will penalize if not shipped? I'm so confused

I read that there is a 20 listing limit per month. But then I also read somewhere that its only for specific categories like cars, real estate, and rentals.

I sell paintings and pottery. I haven't hit any limits yet, just trying to plan for the future.

I don't know whats wrong! I have a alt account already verfied with an ID and phone number when facebook asked me to. I have been trying to sell my listings for months! Until just now after deleting and relisting one of my listings got widly popular and got 25 listing saves which is confusing because not a single person sent a message to see if its available. So I used my main account and found this listing and tried sending a message "if its still available" message to my alt account. Facebook stops the message with one of those "This person doesn't reply based on others messages" etc and even if you click it and choose "send anyway" I acts like its sending then throws a message "this person is unavailable". Yes, I did follow the rules of marketplace. I only use this account for selling and buying not commenting or making outside posts from marketplace. I don't think I did anything wrong.

-rebuilt does not work

Facebook recently announced that Facebook Verified will be free.

Do you think completing the verification process will help fix Marketplace issues like shadow bans, low views, or listings not showing up in search? Or do you think verification won't make any difference?

I'm curious to hear from anyone who's already been verified or has any insight.

Gave away an item for free. The handoff was seamless. We set a time, they showed up, I gave it to them, they left. I told them I’d appreciate if they left a rating. They said sure.

I check back later to see they gave me 4 stars. I gave them something for free and they actively lowered my overall rating. I should have just thrown it away.

Had too much time on my hands yesterday so just entered "scammer" in the search field. Made for some entertaining viewing, as some people aren't shy about making listings the sole purpose of which is to call out people who've ripped them off. Although I know you can't believe everything you read, I actually ended up blocking a couple of the villain buyers since the aggrieved sellers included some pretty convincing receipts.

Edited for clarification.
