Yeah.
I think gumtree is better for different types of items.
My sister is a dog breeder and lists exclusively on gumtree to avoid the idiots on facebook.
The vast majority of stuff bought and sold from our household is low value toddler gear. fb marketplace is awash with that stuff and when you list something for the right price it's gone by the end of the day. It's true that there's some time wasters but you get better at kinda managing the great unwashed.
My partner doesn't care about the privacy issues and will never delete her fb account so maybe for the time being I can just use her account.
In 12 months or so we will be well past the worst of the "toddler gear" and I'll be happy to leave fb behind for good.
