I was constantly ask whether my product was still available. And the profiles asking were very suspicious. Personally I am more comfortable with selling on ebay than on facebook
That’s just the default answer Facebook gives people to start the conversation. Like it auto fills in when you want to start a conversation and either you can just send that or delete it to say something else
Same goes for people who expect near enough the full retail price, when they've had it over a year or possibly more. It's no longer perfect, and probably last season's and has probably been reduced in sales since they've bought it. Theres no guarantee or warranty, and the chances of you getting you money back if something isnt right is significantly reduced. I was looking at a wayfair table recently. I appreciate they probably paid full price for it, but the time of them selling it, it had been reduced in wayfair and wayfair was also offering free delivery. She was selling the table for more than it was listed on wayfair, and the table had the odd scratch, and I would need to pay a man and van to collect it. I pointed out it was over priced and I got the reply "go f**king buy it off there then. Also a freind of mine was trying to sell her 5 year old sofa for £900. She had 3 kids and a dog, so it had been very well used. I told her it was overpriced to which she replied I paid nearly 2k. "Yes, 5 years ago" I said about a year or 2 after you bought it, it probably would have went half price brandnew. You paid so much because back then it was the latest design. There's probably been 3 or 4 newer designs since then, it worn and you bought it on HP! Obviously that ment she paid interest. Again she probably wouldn't have paid no more than £10 delivery whereas the buyer would be lucky to get a man and van for less then £30! People need to take those things into consideration before they sell things. Obviously I don't know what you've sold or how you price, but its something I see alot of. Sellers going of what they paid rather that what's its actually worth. On the flip side I've also experienced selling something really cheap, because I just wanted rid, or even giving stuff away and I get messages like "will you deliver to somewhere 20-miles away?" Or "will you save it for a week next Friday?" "No, I bloody won't"
Mike, would love to see you do a video on problems you have had with private sales? I haven't sold things privately in years (apart from friends). Just don't like the process.
DO NOT ask if it's still available. ASSUME that it is if it's still listed. If it's no longer available, the seller WILL let you know. Sellers HATE continuously being asked about availability
The thing is on Facebook it's the message that's already pre programmed in. Its usually the best 1st point of contact. I've approached people of items that still listing but have sold.
I had a few TVs for sale, a bed and a couple of area rugs. The TV's and bed brought a huge amount of traffic. 90% courted me with "Is this still available" and that alone. The remaining responses that asked about location, pickup, delivery pricing etc are the first ones I replied to and also the ones who I struck up deals with. I'm offering real life experience advice. If it's a hot item, you're lowering your chances of snagging a good deal by wasting time with that question. But do what you want to do. Me? I just copped a Roku Ultra listed for 50 for 20 by being direct, polite and following thru. Again... Do what you want to do
I have a couple of questions: 1. Do you think it’s safe to use a credit/debt card to purchase on Facebook market? 2. If you find a item you’re interested in but the seller is not around you (example I’m from Ohio and the seller is from New York) and don’t have it as buy now, how do you work that out?
i would always try and use a escrow system or paypal for safety. You can use credit card through paypal if that makes sense. And talking to the seller or buyer is the key thing to resolve payment, and transportation
0:50 Give specifications on models of the product, give good pictures of the product from all angles 3:00 Theirs a seller rating system on Facebook, ask the seller why their selling it for so cheap?, take screenshots of the conversation you’ve had with the buyer/seller for validating your order and proof for the m being bad, 7:15 arrangements to Meetup (don’t go to a house, meet the best place to Meetup especially in social areas and go with a friend and tell people where your going ) 8:15 Check out the goods, test the product (if the seller doesn’t let you test it, alarm bells should be going on) 9:50 Don’t pay with cash because it’s not traceable, Facebook provides a buyer/seller protection scheme 11:15 Don’t be rushed (make sure to go everything with the seller before buying the product)
Thank you for the useful information, what if you don't find the conversation you had with a buyer on the notifications? Is it telling us that something is wrong? Thank you
Hi! Thank you so much for this video. I had 2 questions; what happens when you buy something in the marketplace with shipping and it's been 4 days and you haven't been sent any tracking or shipping info? And what if another person cancels your order? What should I ask the buyers? And how do I get a refund if I get scammed? I checked one purchase and they changed the price
This is maybe easier to answer or at least advise if we can ask more questions and get direct answers, so feel free to join our Discord chat and we can go over it in more detail discord.gg/gaeeDPw
i want to buy a ps5 on facebook , the product has purchase protection , if i directly buy from facebook and i don’t receive the ps5 am i assured to get my money baxk ?
Hi Mike. First off this video is totally irrelevant to me, as I’ve not used FB for many years. I just wanted to say that I finally got my CL 16 3200 MHz RAM to run at CL 16 3600 MHz. Current base timings are 16-19-19-44-60-520-T1. Not bad, but I still trying to tighten the timings a little at a time. Hoping you and yours are having a great day.
it doesn't rank or tag like that you have to search by product or specific tag you added in the listing process. IF you add you name in the tag it would most likely work
@@mikesunboxing OK and now they have suspended my account(which is just selling items on fb marketplace for 2-3wks and 1st x ever being on fb) saying they want me to do a video to see if I'm a real person and to move your face to get different angles? Wth!!
Mike's unboxing, reviews and how to completely agree with you on that but the only problem is there will always comes a time when someone just wanted to offer you much lower than what the certain item would normally go for.
Very good. My country not yet launched fb marketplace. So how can I buy and sell products from other countries as my relatives living Singapore Pl Help me Thanks
Hi Mike, I’m selling garden seeds and the post never changes. I’ve not figured out how to mark sold and reuse the listing to get reviews without rewriting the ad! I’ve sold dozens and have not changed the listing to sold. It would be nice to show the amount of sales I’ve had. Thank you for your help.
My first time selling on FB, buyer & agreed on price & shipping, I sent a request for $$. How long do I wait for him to pay ? Other people are interested ?
I’ve just uploaded a few items on Facebook and already have a buyer willing to pay, but they’re asking questions about if my item is still available when it clearly states that it is and they have no pictures or profile nothing whatsoever. I don’t trust it but I’ve been wondering what if I send out an item and the buyer tries to request a refund? Sorry for the long question 😅
If it says “includes purchase protection” on the Market ad for Facebook, does that mean that Facebook will cover the purchase if you don’t receive the item?
Don't like it when the buyer confronts you about reselling the item you bought from them. Bought the item for someone else and they didn't want it so I was forced to resell and decided to up the price considering there is a good chance of it still selling. Then was messaged by the original seller who was threatening me with legal complaints and insults. The last thing I want to do is upset anyone but I technically did nothing wrong.
that is what 95% of the world would do in the same situation. If you can make a profit on something you don't want after buying that is totally up to you. Tell the seller to do one.
Why are some sellers (in groups) always in the top of the line, even if it's 2-3days ago they put their products up for sale. And if I just put something up for sale, I am way down in the line.
I have a large animal/bird cage forsale, but the market place keeps denying it and I don't know why. There are no birds or animals being sold - what words can I use to get it through
sorry i don't quite understand the setup there, you are buying something from the post office? or do you mean you are sending an item via the post office? If so we use the royal mail / post office for pretty much everything we send, a little more expensive but seems to be a pretty flawless service this far
There’s a video game console I want to get but it seems a little too cheap ... but it has the Facebook purchase protection. Would that make it 100% id get my money back if it’s broken or never comes?
use paypal goods and services and if the sale goes wrong you will have some insurance but do read the terms of sale and also the paypal terms to be sure of what is and what isn't covered
I have a issue I need help with I sold something on Facebook marketplace with the wrong tracking number instead of the one Facebook game me. I’ve search all over the web to try to change the tracker number could find nothing . Now I’ve contacted the buyer and he said he received it but there’s no way of telling Facebook that and Facebook still thinks I have the item. What should I do? Will I still get that money that just sitting there in Facebook over time?
I’m only worried about selling and posting as they might say it never arrived and I lose the money and the item, even if it recorded delivery would Royal Mail pay?
I sell many things on FB market place, are their any tricks to getting more hits or keeping your items at the top of lists until sold. I feel many things get pushed to the bottom and never seen again. HELP !!
If someone wants to pay for an item on Facebook market place where it says buy Now Can I click on buy now I want be charged buy clicking. Please explain to to me how it works thanks step by step thanks
I'm trying to buy on Facebook, and have many posts up in a few groups. I have yet to get a single reply. What am I buying? Old, rubber soccer balls. Yep, old, very worn rubber soccer balls that were used in soccer games in the late 1960s, 1970s, up to mid 1980s. Most folks, I guess, feel it best to just toss them out instead of selling them. I mean, who wants old rubber soccer balls? me! I guess they think my posts are a joke, but they aren't. I don't even care if they hold air, so I ask to not throw them away until you talk with me. again, crickets.
I'm trying to sell a ps5 and xbox on FB marketplace. How do u think I should go about with it? For security I told ppl the pickup is at a nearby precinct. But how should I go about excepting payment? I don't want to get potentially scammed
I was selling my car on FB market. Its a coincidence but All I been gettin is black people from Brooklyn. Im half black to. But Im not from Brklyn NY, Im from Massachusetts lol. And Im mixed. Im not racist . But Most on FB are very lowballing, Getto and unprofessional. I guess there trying to flip the car, buy it cheap from me, and sell for more.. They ask me if I can lend them my insurance, registration, & plates. Thats crazy. They ask for the craziest favors. I don't even know these people. It's so annoying. I took the car out of market. They also were messaging me 2am, -6am, in the late ams, crazy hours. And would curse me out if I didnt give them there price. There so unprofessional. Some of them threaten me. I give up. I'm gonna keep it!
Any solution when Facebook won't let you post a perfectly legitimate ad? I tried to sell a Play station controller and Facebook keep refuse to post the ad for "misleading product" or for "copyright problems". The title was saying exactly what I was selling and about the copyright (the second time I tried to post) was about the logo Sony I reckon. But I can't take off the logo from the box.
@@andrealamagna7842 I found I have to rewrite a whole new ad and use different photos sometimes. You should be able to do that straight after. Fingers crossed
Ive been having this issue due to the covid where i cant allow the person in my house to check that the plugged item works during lockdown as thats illegal but they want to make sure the product works at the same time. If the product is brand new unopened but isnt sealed then how can someone trust me it ws very hard to sell with the person thinking it was faulty but buying it anyway
i think the answer is be sensible about it and maybe allow them, in with social distancing as you would for a someone carrying out maintenance work in the home
@@mikesunboxing I would do that if it wasnt illegal im not about to risk getting a £200 fine for breaking lockdown rules just to sell a £100 product lol
hi im from the uk and i cant find buy it now option on the facebook market place cause i see allot of people that say they can pay through facebook and its safe ?
I am trying to buy an item but I do not want to get scammed, will sending the money through Facebook, protect my money, in case I do not get the item or it is not working?
what is the circulation on facebook martket place? Is it only local limited to your postcode area? I want something as an alternative to ebay now that they are CONNING and Ripping off private sellers with this APPALLING new payments system that I will NOT use! But I want something with great ciculation, most of these selling platforms have a miserable small ciruclation area. Thanks
The bulk of Facebook Marketplace purchases are as-is. There isn't really purchase protection in that regard. You're better off buying something off eBay or Amazon if you're looking for that kind of assurance.
Facebook market place has a big problem! When someone response my ad, if I don’t reply it straight away, the person will not find my ad any more! And this caused me lose a lot of opportunity! Main thing is, there is no way to contact Facebook market place customer service. So I can’t tell them the issue!
it is never totally safe as there are nut jobs out there, but i recommend if possible get items delivered to a work address or a post office collection centre
Hi , I just bought an AirPod from marketplace , and the girl requested the money and I paid for it ( by Facebook ) , she was supposed to send it in 30 min , and then next day first thing in the morning , and then now she doesn’t answer me anymore , what should I do ? Can you help me please ?
complain to facebook and see if they will cover the costs, market place does have some protections and if you used paypal goods and services that will also be protected to some extent
@@mikesunboxing There’s a video game console I want to get but it seems a little too cheap ... but it has the Facebook purchase protection. Would that make it 100% id get my money back if it’s broken or never comes?
cant find anywhere...does anyone know if there is a way to set up an auto reply on facebook marketplace..using desktop version when im not avail or not online? this should be an option but it is nowehre to be found....not referring to app version i dont use app version i use reg online desktop version...when i go to settings there is no settings for messaging as some of the online forums say therte should be.
Yea there is i played with em last week. I believe u might need to have a 'page'. From there u can set thing up for replies in the publishing posts tools. Desktop is BEST! From the publish tools theres tabs such as 'account' 'messages' etc. From there go into those setting n play with them. Theres also videos tutorials n fb forun for everything. Be patient it takes time to develop these digital skills.
Would love to know if you have a video on how to deal with responses from Facebook marketplace as a seller. I find sometimes that people will act very interested and want to buy something and you send them an invoice on PayPal or whatever and then you don't hear anything...thx!
@@mikesunboxing I list my item ,n I do not need to pay, Then 1 customer asked me a question, then I knew my listing is working. Now I get your reply. But Facebook offer promote for 3 days $ 3, do you try ? Thx for reply.
i got my facebook account suspended,i can only assume it was for putting my website link on the items on marketplace,i got a warning before the suspension for selling fishing split shot which facebook said it was weapon ammo,im pissed off as my website was getting a few views.
Crazy to think that some would return a similar item instead of the one they purchased. That's a great tip to take pictures of the barcode or any kind of unique identifier to protect yourself from the bad guys.
difficult to say but look for tell tale signs like a new email account. Maybe do a search for the email address online and see if anything flags up like an area or facebook profile etc
I don't sorry. I must admit the the Chromebook always seemed like an expensive option compared to a windows tablet or laptop. Might have a look again though
I started of by fluke lol I bought an Acer tablet 7inch for £15 and used it for a month then thought to my self hmm shall I post it back on Facebook lol so I put it up for £50 and as soon as I posted it I got so so many msgs so eventually i sold it for £45 and that was it I'm doing ok now buying and selling from Facebook
I agree. I'm a seller on FB marketplace and my husband and I sell a lot and I learned by trial and error. Everything from how to list things what kind of pics, pricing, best times of the week and month to sell what, how to tell if someone is trying to scam you, how to weed out possible no shows, tips on the messages including the trick I use for myself with the option where you can label chats. I thought about making a video about what I've learned but I don't really have a channel lol
I sold a lot of stuff using craigslist and everything went well, but trying Facebook to see if I can sell it faster. I might have missed it but do they contact me through email or Facebook messages? its my first time using Facebook and wasn't sure how much info they can see of me
Im selling a ue boom and a guy is in a hurry to buy it the day after. I say as long as you have the money in cash ill sell it to you, no questions asked from his side but he seems so skittish and in a hurry. I feel like somethings up but i dont know what
Good tips but boy you need to get real and specific in your presentations if you're talking about social media platform biz. This is all talk-talk, who's going to hang on to this vid for 12 minutes of talks? Do present good/bad FB advertisement, explain specifically and concretely what to do etc... "Show&Tell", you learned that at school, didn't you ?
40K + views and above average engagement tells me you are wrong, but you are entitled to your own opinion. Not everyone understands the process so it was explained in a longer meandering way to not overload the viewer and leave them more unsure of the processes. If you feel you can do a better more concise presentation please do and I will and a link to it when you are done.
Now I know why I keep getting idiots asking if something is still available and can I have a discount on an already very cheap item. You are the cause. You're obviously not a seller because you don't seem to have a clue what you're dining.
@@MysteriousRider84 i think you either didn't get the video, or something. I am both a seller and a buyer and i don't like the "is this still available" auto text, but you aren't getting them because of me that is for sure.
I was constantly ask whether my product was still available. And the profiles asking were very suspicious. Personally I am more comfortable with selling on ebay than on facebook
yeah i think you might have a good point there
same here, I just don't like the fees associated to selling on ebay

What’s worse is that they gave you a negative review because you refuse to bend over on that.

I have a issue I need help with I sold something on Facebook marketplace with the wrong tracking number instead of the one Facebook game me. I’ve search all over the web to try to change the tracker number could find nothing . Now I’ve contacted the buyer and he said he received it but there’s no way of telling Facebook that and Facebook still thinks I have the item. What should I do? Will I still get that money that just sitting there in Facebook over time?
not sure sorry not something i have had to deal with
I’m only worried about selling and posting as they might say it never arrived and I lose the money and the item, even if it recorded delivery would Royal Mail pay?
just make sure you have tracking and signed for and insurance to the value of the item just in case something goes wrong
Im selling a brand new laptop... If the buyer attempts to claim damage or any thing after buying how can i protect myself?
use paypal goods and services and get a lot of insurance on the postage
I sell many things on FB market place, are their any tricks to getting more hits or keeping your items at the top of lists until sold. I feel many things get pushed to the bottom and never seen again. HELP !!
not that i know of sorry
I’m trying to sell my laptop on Facebook market, can I get the money first and ships or do I have to ship it first to get the money?
that is between you and the buyer to decide the terms of the sale
If someone wants to pay for an item on Facebook market place where it says buy Now Can I click on buy now I want be charged buy clicking. Please explain to to me how it works thanks step by step thanks
no idea sorry we or at least i don't have that option on facebook marketplace
I'm trying to buy on Facebook, and have many posts up in a few groups. I have yet to get a single reply. What am I buying? Old, rubber soccer balls. Yep, old, very worn rubber soccer balls that were used in soccer games in the late 1960s, 1970s, up to mid 1980s. Most folks, I guess, feel it best to just toss them out instead of selling them. I mean, who wants old rubber soccer balls? me! I guess they think my posts are a joke, but they aren't. I don't even care if they hold air, so I ask to not throw them away until you talk with me. again, crickets.
i would always prefer to meet seller in person befre any transaction is made
that is good if it is possible / local
I'm trying to sell a ps5 and xbox on FB marketplace. How do u think I should go about with it? For security I told ppl the pickup is at a nearby precinct. But how should I go about excepting payment? I don't want to get potentially scammed
try and use paypal goods and services to protect you both and always go with someone or a group if possible
I’ll buy it how much
Hi Mike, what would be the best way to pay, incase the item doesn't arive so I'll be covered?
PayPal
paypal is probably the best option using the goods and services option
I was selling my car on FB market. Its a coincidence but All I been gettin is black people from Brooklyn. Im half black to. But Im not from Brklyn NY, Im from Massachusetts lol. And Im mixed. Im not racist . But Most on FB are very lowballing, Getto and unprofessional. I guess there trying to flip the car, buy it cheap from me, and sell for more.. They ask me if I can lend them my insurance, registration, & plates. Thats crazy. They ask for the craziest favors. I don't even know these people. It's so annoying. I took the car out of market. They also were messaging me 2am, -6am, in the late ams, crazy hours. And would curse me out if I didnt give them there price. There so unprofessional. Some of them threaten me. I give up. I'm gonna keep it!
that sounds like a really bad situation
Any solution when Facebook won't let you post a perfectly legitimate ad? I tried to sell a Play station controller and Facebook keep refuse to post the ad for "misleading product" or for "copyright problems". The title was saying exactly what I was selling and about the copyright (the second time I tried to post) was about the logo Sony I reckon. But I can't take off the logo from the box.
it happens every now and then, i end up redoing the ad and ditch the first one, try using different pictures too
@@mikesunboxing you wait a while or just straight after? I been refused for 5/6 times in a row!
@@andrealamagna7842 I found I have to rewrite a whole new ad and use different photos sometimes. You should be able to do that straight after. Fingers crossed
How can you do a bundle on facebook marketplace instead of just a single of the same item?
picture all the items together and list then in the description
Ive been having this issue due to the covid where i cant allow the person in my house to check that the plugged item works during lockdown as thats illegal but they want to make sure the product works at the same time. If the product is brand new unopened but isnt sealed then how can someone trust me it ws very hard to sell with the person thinking it was faulty but buying it anyway
i think the answer is be sensible about it and maybe allow them, in with social distancing as you would for a someone carrying out maintenance work in the home
@@mikesunboxing I would do that if it wasnt illegal im not about to risk getting a £200 fine for breaking lockdown rules just to sell a £100 product lol
hi im from the uk and i cant find buy it now option on the facebook market place cause i see allot of people that say they can pay through facebook and its safe ?
the info is in the video, and buy it now is a ebay thing really not facebook
im 12 years old and trying to start reselling to save up for a nzxt kracken z63 for my pc any tips for what items to buy/sell
just look for bargains or something that looks like an easy fix, a gamble like that can pay off sometimes, but also be prepared to lose out
I am trying to buy an item but I do not want to get scammed, will sending the money through Facebook, protect my money, in case I do not get the item or it is not working?
no don't send the money through facebook use a paypal or some form of escrow service
@@mikesunboxing even if you use their protection policy?
what is the circulation on facebook martket place? Is it only local limited to your postcode area? I want something as an alternative to ebay now that they are CONNING and Ripping off private sellers with this APPALLING new payments system that I will NOT use! But I want something with great ciculation, most of these selling platforms have a miserable small ciruclation area. Thanks
seems to be national as far as i can tell
Can you help me determine if my purchase is covered under the purchase protection?
you need to contact facebook support for that
The bulk of Facebook Marketplace purchases are as-is. There isn't really purchase protection in that regard. You're better off buying something off eBay or Amazon if you're looking for that kind of assurance.
The one thing I hate about this is the payment.
Seller wants to make sure it gets paid
Buyer wants to make sure it gets working product.
STRESS!!
yeah use paypal goods and services to protect you both
@@mikesunboxing Hey Mike how does paypal work to protect both?
is the facebook market place real to buy from and not a scam?
every sale is a potential scam, it is about limited risk and using as many safeguards as possible
I want to buy a ps5 but don’t want to get scammed does buyer protection actually work
it does work if you follow the guidelines
what are the guidelines ?
Good luck with that
How do I know if it's purchase protection on shipping orders?
that is a totally open question you need to be more specific in the order details
Facebook market place has a big problem! When someone response my ad, if I don’t reply it straight away, the person will not find my ad any more! And this caused me lose a lot of opportunity! Main thing is, there is no way to contact Facebook market place customer service. So I can’t tell them the issue!
Yes it is far from perfect
How do I find the person I bought something from on Facebook marketplace?
if you sent messages it will be in the messenger app under marketplace
i'm trying to buy and sell iphones i've sold one and am having trouble buying iphone 7s can you help?
not really i struggle getting iphones in good condition for sensible money
This is going to be dumb question but as a customer is it safe to give mu address when shipping is ask
it is never totally safe as there are nut jobs out there, but i recommend if possible get items delivered to a work address or a post office collection centre
Hi , I just bought an AirPod from marketplace , and the girl requested the money and I paid for it ( by Facebook ) , she was supposed to send it in 30 min , and then next day first thing in the morning , and then now she doesn’t answer me anymore , what should I do ? Can you help me please ?
complain to facebook and see if they will cover the costs, market place does have some protections and if you used paypal goods and services that will also be protected to some extent
@@mikesunboxing thanks 🙏🏽, but do you know where exactly on Facebook I have to complain ?
@@mikesunboxing There’s a video game console I want to get but it seems a little too cheap ... but it has the Facebook purchase protection. Would that make it 100% id get my money back if it’s broken or never comes?
cant find anywhere...does anyone know if there is a way to set up an auto reply on facebook marketplace..using desktop version when im not avail or not online? this should be an option but it is nowehre to be found....not referring to app version i dont use app version i use reg online desktop version...when i go to settings there is no settings for messaging as some of the online forums say therte should be.
not sure sorry
Yea there is i played with em last week. I believe u might need to have a 'page'. From there u can set thing up for replies in the publishing posts tools. Desktop is BEST! From the publish tools theres tabs such as 'account' 'messages' etc. From there go into those setting n play with them. Theres also videos tutorials n fb forun for everything. Be patient it takes time to develop these digital skills.
stating 200 obvious things that everyone knows already.. Tell us how buyer protection works, or somethign useful.
not everyone is as enlightened as you think, and it is always good to go over the basics

Nice did a podcast on this
Cheers bob
I’m trying to buy a PS5 and I’m a little worried about sure about a lot of people I’m trying to have people meet me at the police station
Somewhere public and take a witness or friend
Would love to know if you have a video on how to deal with responses from Facebook marketplace as a seller. I find sometimes that people will act very interested and want to buy something and you send them an invoice on PayPal or whatever and then you don't hear anything...thx!
good idea
I want to buy a laptop on Facebook marketplace but my mom is worried about me getting ripped off
It is always a concern but make sure you use the PayPal goods and services and you should have some cover if things go wrong
Should I trust them if they said they wanna pay on cash app?
up to you, can you afford to loose the money? treat it like any other transaction
Is there any cost to sell on Facebook marketplace ?
no it is free
@@mikesunboxing
I list my item ,n I do not need to pay,
Then 1 customer asked me a question, then I knew my listing is working.
Now I get your reply.
But Facebook offer promote for 3 days $ 3, do you try ?
Thx for reply.
how do you get an item shipped to you on fb marketplace?
you need to discuss it with the seller, there are no baked in settings or systems to arrange shipping
What are some good 3rd party transfer services?
never used any sorry so i cant advise
i got my facebook account suspended,i can only assume it was for putting my website link on the items on marketplace,i got a warning before the suspension for selling fishing split shot which facebook said it was weapon ammo,im pissed off as my website was getting a few views.
sorry to hear that, these big tech companies do seem to rule with an iron fist
I'm new to FB Marketplace and I have no clue how to reach an agreement
do it as you would in real life, just ask the questions and set your terms and wait for them to agree to them
I would not recommend buying anything on FB. It will be either garbage or over priced. Amazon and Ebay are more reliable.
i am tempted to agree unless you can check it over first
@@mikesunboxing It happened to me 6 out of 6 times.
Crazy to think that some would return a similar item instead of the one they purchased. That's a great tip to take pictures of the barcode or any kind of unique identifier to protect yourself from the bad guys.
I never get a response after being serious, I'm a woman and been wanting to find a sectional on Facebook
what is a sectional?
Sectional couch
Can we trust people that say contact me on email?
difficult to say but look for tell tale signs like a new email account. Maybe do a search for the email address online and see if anything flags up like an area or facebook profile etc
Mike's unboxing, reviews and how to thanks
you mentioned third party can you explane?
you can use a third party to hold the funds until both parties are happy
@@mikesunboxingCan you give me names of companies that do this work for example?
Never used Facebook Marketplace, will need to have a look Mike :-) You got any Chromebooks for sale Mike ???
I don't sorry. I must admit the the Chromebook always seemed like an expensive option compared to a windows tablet or laptop. Might have a look again though
I started of by fluke lol I bought an Acer tablet 7inch for £15 and used it for a month then thought to my self hmm shall I post it back on Facebook lol so I put it up for £50 and as soon as I posted it I got so so many msgs so eventually i sold it for £45 and that was it I'm doing ok now buying and selling from Facebook
there is definitely money to be made with the right product at the right time
@@mikesunboxing that's right Mike I started by fluke lol ..
To get a bargain u have to be browsing on Facebook marketplace 24/7
Nothing here helps the Seller. No one has provided helpful tips on selling items safely without getting scammed.
as a seller generally you are screwed on any of these platforms unless you have a trade sellers account then you can add protection.
I agree. I'm a seller on FB marketplace and my husband and I sell a lot and I learned by trial and error. Everything from how to list things what kind of pics, pricing, best times of the week and month to sell what, how to tell if someone is trying to scam you, how to weed out possible no shows, tips on the messages including the trick I use for myself with the option where you can label chats. I thought about making a video about what I've learned but I don't really have a channel lol
Maddie B. Pleas make a video! Just upload one to your profile
No one wants to buy my stuff
Maybe too expensive? Check other similar listings and make comparisons
I sold a lot of stuff using craigslist and everything went well, but trying Facebook to see if I can sell it faster. I might have missed it but do they contact me through email or Facebook messages? its my first time using Facebook and wasn't sure how much info they can see of me
they will connect via messenger, but depending on your account setup you might also get an email notification
Im selling a ue boom and a guy is in a hurry to buy it the day after. I say as long as you have the money in cash ill sell it to you, no questions asked from his side but he seems so skittish and in a hurry. I feel like somethings up but i dont know what
just be careful and always get protection or take someone with you
@@mikesunboxing cool i live in an apartment complex which is extremely public so i should be safe👌
Good tips but boy you need to get real and specific in your presentations if you're talking about social media platform biz. This is all talk-talk, who's going to hang on to this vid for 12 minutes of talks? Do present good/bad FB advertisement, explain specifically and concretely what to do etc... "Show&Tell", you learned that at school, didn't you ?
40K + views and above average engagement tells me you are wrong, but you are entitled to your own opinion.
Not everyone understands the process so it was explained in a longer meandering way to not overload the viewer and leave them more unsure of the processes.
If you feel you can do a better more concise presentation please do and I will and a link to it when you are done.
Only chances on facebook ebay is the way to go
yeah agreed
Please reply to this comment with “k”

This is awful advice
care to elaborate on that statement?
Now I know why I keep getting idiots asking if something is still available and can I have a discount on an already very cheap item. You are the cause. You're obviously not a seller because you don't seem to have a clue what you're dining.
this makes no sense, but thanks for commenting
@@mikesunboxing yeah you play the dumb card like a lot of buyers.
@@MysteriousRider84 i think you either didn't get the video, or something. I am both a seller and a buyer and i don't like the "is this still available" auto text, but you aren't getting them because of me that is for sure.
@@mikesunboxing your video says to ask if something is still available and to also ask for a discount.
