I hate Facebook. Marketplace is unfortunately the only place a lot of stuff is listed, even though it also sucks. I said I wanted stuff within 85 miles, why are you showing me stuff that's 400 miles away??? Craigslist is genuinely a better experience (via the mobile app) these days, but no one uses it.
I guess I’m at least lucky that marketplace isn’t used here primarily.
I just use Craigslist anyway and accept that I'm missing out on selection.
Often I do too, but I'm in a mid-sized city so sometimes it isn't an option if I want to find a deal on something.
I only set up notifications on Craigslist's app though.
This.
I buy and sell heaps of stuff on Facebook.
We have young kids. It must have saved us thousands buying everything second hand and flipping it later.
