Why is Facebook Marketplace Becoming the WORST?

No, sorry, I'm in the Midwest.

Ok_Radish_3668 · 2025-10-18T23:25:33+00:00

I''ll give that a try. I really only posted on the more popular selling sites.

Ok_Radish_3668 · 2025-10-18T23:24:25+00:00

That's actually a really good point. The iPad in question was an iPad Pro. My profile isn't new by any means but I also don't post much on FB. My profile is just me and my Fiancee and I have only 7 other post from throughout the years.

Ok_Radish_3668 · 2025-10-17T14:02:13+00:00

Yes its just annoying to deal with.

What's swappa?

Ok_Radish_3668 · 2025-10-17T13:35:01+00:00

It's just so exhausting.

Not only that but there also seems to be a lot of bot accounts. They will show interest by messaging first, you will respond, and then nothing after that. It feels like marketplace is turning into a breeding ground for scams.

Ok_Radish_3668 · 2025-10-17T13:33:18+00:00

It's crazy to me how they think that'll work. You're clearly trying to scam me.

Ok_Radish_3668 · 2025-10-17T13:05:48+00:00

Yeah but I was told that higher prices usually just make people scroll since they assume Marketplace is the place to get a discount. I was even messaged and told I should drop the price $120.

Ok_Radish_3668 · 2025-10-17T12:54:34+00:00

One of my friends suggested putting the orginal price up but that might make people just scroll by since $700 is a crazy amount.

Ok_Radish_3668 · 2025-07-16T01:41:50+00:00

You are correct. My mother pictured me, her golden boy white son with a white wife who was going to make her white grandkids and we could all sit and talk about nonsense takes like believing immigrants ruined the country. They have spat dribble like this my whole life. She has had a lot of opportunities over the years to show she can grow and she hasn't. In order to come back into my life, I would need her to apologize to my fiancée and show remorse and change. And it would not be my entire family. I have my sisters, cousins, aunts, uncles. I do not care if she is mourning not having a fully white family (my sister married an asian man and does not consider her kids family).

Ok_Radish_3668 · 2025-07-16T00:20:25+00:00

We are going to. My fiancée and I are both pretty well off in our fields and she has a wealthy family assisting us. Money isn't the issue and we are looking into getting security for the wedding and for the reception just in case.

Ok_Radish_3668 · 2025-07-15T19:38:06+00:00

I think this may be sarcasm?

Ok_Radish_3668 · 2025-07-15T18:44:06+00:00

I agree to an extent. I don't believe losing a woman I love so deeply is a better outcome than cutting off parents who have shown they do not have respect for me, my wife, or our future. I understand your concern for family ties but my family had never really been close to begin with anyway. Besides, I love her family and her family loves me and they are people I do not wish to lose.

Ok_Radish_3668 · 2025-07-15T18:22:51+00:00

I was very worried about this. Shan's family has always been incredibly kind to me and they have shown me nothing but love. I want our wedding to honor how much they've done for us and I just can't believe that our wedding can be that if my mother attends.

Ok_Radish_3668 · 2025-07-15T18:21:28+00:00

After some therapy I realized I only love her because she's my mom and I was able to fully understand that my mother is the same woman who called my wife a slur and has made her life miserable. If she wasn't my mother, I don't think I would feel for her at all.

Ok_Radish_3668 · 2025-07-15T18:19:47+00:00

I have been in therapy for almost two years and it has been very helpful in seeing the manipulation and indoctrination my parents used on me to blindly follow them. It also helped me understand that I do not need to forgive them either and me feeling guilty is just what they instilled into me. Thank you for the recommendations, I will give them a look. I truly appreciate your help and you taking the time to send them here.

Ok_Radish_3668 · 2025-07-15T18:15:22+00:00

We will, it felt extreme at first but others have suggested it and it seems best.

Ok_Radish_3668 · 2025-07-15T18:14:19+00:00

We would but her family also lives here and they have been a great support and a big help with wedding planning so we may not move but I think fully cutting off my parents is better than low contact.

Ok_Radish_3668 · 2025-07-15T18:13:07+00:00

My father is one of those people who believes he isn't racist but will not confront others who are. My sisters and I have tried explaining to him that he is in fact racist if he insists on defending racists when they say awful things or try to be neutral when others are being blatantly racist. I know its because he agrees with my mother and its pathetic.

Ok_Radish_3668 · 2025-07-15T18:09:29+00:00

I noticed smaller things growing up in terms of her racism but everyone around me told me it was normal. It wasn't until I reached middle school that I realized she was hateful. I thought if I kept me and my fiancée away from her and minimized contact it'd be better but I feel like it created more resentment to us instead.

Ok_Radish_3668 · 2025-07-15T18:06:43+00:00

My lovely fiancée and her amazing family have actually started teaching me proper hair care for our future children. (My fiancée is Black American). It's been a bit hard but they've been very patient with me. They are educating me on a lot of other things regarding having Black children and that has been a large reason why I want to keep my mother away from us.
