      I gave up selling on marketplace, and donate everything. People messaging you for months asking questions or wanting a refund after they broke it. I’m not your tech support, and no warranty claims. Have ueard this is a regional issue and also depends on the category. I will never sell another car on marketplace. Craigslist is great for the anonymity.

        Craigslist was always on the fringes, before Facebook marketplace came in there were a bunch of separate and disconnected online marketplaces. Facebook marketplace had the advantage of already having a massive user base (larger than any of the existing online marketplaces), causing it to become the largest one right out the gate, which then of course makes it the most attractive option for sellers since they will reach more people.

      It’s also real annoying when trying to look up business hours or a restaurant menu only to find all their links are to Facebook.
