    How can you safeguard against scams on Fb Marketplace?
    There's a bass for sale on there I really would like, but I don't know how to safeguard against getting scammed. 😟

      PayPal Goods is good.

      Just a quick update ...

      The seller has stopped responding to my mails.

      He asked me last week when he could expect payment, I replied I needed the full price (which included shipping) before I could send him any money.

      No response to that so I left it until this week to see if he was maybe offline at the weekend, but no reply by the end of Monday night, so I messaged again asking if he was good with progressing the sale and to provide shipping so I could pay, and still radio silence. :sad:

       

      The item is still on Fb Marketplace for sale, so I guess he just wasn't interested in shipping it to me, which would have been nice to tell me instead of just ignoring me (I can see he has read my messages).

       

      So a very disappointing end to this for me. 😞

      I've had several things not go ahead because the seller went quiet or wanted unsecured payment.

      It might've been that they couldn't be bothered, sold it to someone, or were a scammer - who knows...

      You just have to shrug and move on.

      Any for sale offer which specifies PayPal F&F or bank transfer should immediately trigger the suspicion-o-meter!
