Bob TregilusWelp, that went about like I expected. I setup a Facebook account so I could use the marketplace. A phone number *wasn't* required to create an account. So far so good. So I post an item to sell & they said they needed to review the posting. An hour later I check back & they had reviewed the posting but need to verify my identity before making it active. They wanted a government ID. Fuck that. I deleted the account. They asked why I was deleting the account: "I don't feel safe on Facebook."
Mike Hindle@elaterite Yikes! No thank you 🚫 I recently returned to selling on eBay, which is a much better experience than it used to be. Might be worth a look, Bob 👀
@mikehindleuk Ya, I've sold on eBay. I buy as well. But I have several large items to sell that can't be shipped. I do need to list a bunch of stuff, it's just that their fees are so high these days. When I used to sell tons of stuff on eBay, in the late '90s & early '00s, the fees only added up to 3-4%. Now they're up around 13%. I have a friend who said I could use her FB account to sell a couple of things. I'll try that if I don't get any hits from Craigslist. Thanks!
Hal@elaterite if it's local only, you might be able to use "nextdoor". We've been successful a couple of times.
@hwine That's a thought, thanks!
