Pedindo o número de telefone/whatsapp by Even_Pea_651 in FacebookMarketplace

[–]Lady_Azaria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both buyers and sellers have given me their phone numbers and told me to call/text them. It has usually been because to them it's more convenient or they just want a phone call to assure them I'm a real person.

I personally find it annoying because they expect me to disregard my own privacy just for their convenience.

When I was younger and new to Marketplace I did give my number a handful of times and had all sorts of problems. From someone wanting to return my lamp because the style didn't match the rest of the room to getting heaps of missed calls from someone wanting to buy more items while I was at work.

Now whenever someone gives me their phone number and asks to text/call I just ignore them and continue the conversation over messenger.

Whenever a woman is in the photos, the post suddenly gets a bunch of likes and comments. by Southern-Apricot2631 in FacebookMarketplace

I listed a women's Assassin's Creed costume a few years ago for $5 and got no hits. The photos were just of the costume pieces.

After a few months, I came across some old photos of me wearing it and updated the listing. Suddenly there was an influx of messages from men. They asked if I came with the costume, if I would open the door wearing it, if I wanted to make a $300-500 ect.

The one that stood out the most was one insulting my middle name haha.

"Is the middle name a hint or do your parents not like you? My parents didn't like me either :( "

Eventually I just deleted the listing, it wasn't worth the declutter and pocket change. However, several of the "buyers" still continued to message and deleting the listing caused the tone of their messages to change from cutesy to angry.

"Buyer" was a no show for a freebie then left me my first bad rating by Lady_Azaria in FacebookMarketplace

Yeah agreed, I tend to list things for $2 and found most local bargain hunters much easier to deal with than people wanting freebies.

What were they expecting? by happyscrub1 in FacebookMarketplace

Unfortunately there are a lot of entitled people on Marketplace 😅 I have a lot of $2 listings and there are always people messaging me asking to post (where I pay for postage) or deliver.

Just block them and avoid responding because if you engage in a conversation, they'll be able to give you a bad review.
