- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience

If buying shit at Goodwill and selling it online is how you choose to make your living, then I suppose you're "stuck" with FB.
But, if you are making a living at it, or significantly supplementing your income, then your privacy is the cost of doing business. At least you are profiting something from the deal.
what made you come to that idea? they didn't say they did it for profit but if you are broke (like me) or environmentally conscious you would try to buy things second hand when needed and sell whatever you don't need anymore (because the last time I checked everyone needs to pay bills)
they have a point, facebook is the website mostly used in my country where people buy and sell second hand and it still is my biggest regret after deleting my account
