FB market place is a mess, I look for certain items and check all day long, poof something listed six hours ago UH I just look an hour ago. WORSE of all is they show every where and you have to click back to local, I don’t care about a yard sale in another state esp hundreds of miles away, sometimes when you click local it’ll on show a couple items and page stops. It was great until a couple months ago when they changed it over, not its a hit and miss, and I miss alot.
I wonder if they featured one of my products on one of these sales they run. I’ve actually never seen any of these sales myself, but a few weekends ago, I sold 200 of one particular keychain on fb, and i have no idea where they all came from. I’ve had these keychains sitting around forever so i wasn’t about to complain! LOL
FB is a mess anyway. There are so many ads on their pages. And there’s really no security in place altho they assure you there is. When you have “billions” of users there’s no way to control your site 100%.
