5 Mistakes I Made Selling on Facebook Marketplace

You had a baby in the car and she played like that wow, she's a piece of 💩.

Congrats. No nuggets necessary 😂

Do you ever use the boost function?

Nice thank you

Love your tips and insight! I just started selling on FBM and there's still so much to learn, but I'm enjoying every single day of it. Newly subscribed! Looking forward to more of your videos :)

My rule of thumb when selling: I don't ship. People will find something wrong with an item, or the post office will lose it and then you lose your sale/money. I only accept CASH (no bills over $20), I don't give out my cell number, only meet in public a few blocks from my house at a BUSY place and I don't leave my house until the buyer is there cuz people are never on time and I'm not wasting my time waiting on them. No holds, like you said. If I'm selling electronics I always send the buyer a video that it WORKS. I had someone scam he once that it didn't work and they bitched about a refund. Also, when I meet up with the buyer, they have to make sure they are satisfied with the item and I tell them final sales, once we part that's it. When people message me "Is it available?" And they read it and don't reply back, I block them. I had a guy repeatedly message me, and never said he wants to buy it. If people message you from IG on FB that's always a scam. Block them. If someone is a no show, report them.

Lol I can relate to all of this

I agree with all of them. I find credit unions take longer up to an hour. Big banks a few minutes

Don't ever give up, great video!

One thing you definitely got to watch out for are lowballers. I am selling an Xbox Series S with a headset included for only $160, which is the cheapest price for one on the fb marketplace locally where I am. Everyone else is selling theirs for $200+ just for the Xbox Series S alone. This guy tried to bring the price down to $120, and I said no. Obvious reseller and the same guy that got me last time to. He said no, thank you. Have a good day. If you're trying to sell something less than what it's worth,

then hold on to it and say price is firm. So many idiots on facebook and lowballers are the worst.

The time I sold a 250 iphone the e-transfer did not go threw like you said and I told the person did not go threw yet and he was the telling me he’s leaving and did not want to show me on his phone the e-transfer so I thought it was sketchy so I told his taxi driver lol to hold up the payment did not go threw and he’s insisting he has to leave -police were called -canceled though—-payment eventually went threw nearly 45 later -that’s why I’m only doing cash these days 😅

How do I make my shopping cart one purchase from the same seller? Everything is individual.

Wouldn’t have gotten my account fixed without the help of novak techy ,I am soo glad he was able to help out.

My question is why does my item get 0 views on the Facebook market?

I heard from some seller she got scammed by a buyer on market place so I’ve always been scared to sell on there. Do you know anything about that ir if they have good seller protection

Don’t hold an item for more than an hour. If they can pick it up, great, if not. It’s first come first serve. Or half deposit of the item, if they don’t show up. Don’t refund. Should be the policy for your time spent. Don’t let others waste your time

No way I thought for a moment that you were Markiplier 😭

Beware of doing Business with Katie Farmer ! If she will cheat a Crippled old Veteran She will cheat anyone ! On market Place !

I put up my first item for sale locally. Started getting requests in just a few minutes. But it was weird. "Groups" formed. I was being asked for cell number. Names were changing. Some messages I could respond to, others I couldn't. It is very confusing.

When I typed NO SCAMMERS under the title of what I was selling, all I got was scammers. I didn't type ALL SCAMMERS MESSAGE ME.

You’re at 934 subscribers… make that 935 for the hell of it. You seem legit, and you hooked me with the title. But, always make them come to you no matter what. Even somewhere in public that’s close, make them drive all that way because that’s the true testament of how serious ppl are

I don’t think not one person on fb marketplace was a real buyer. All bots 😢

I sure made the mistake of holding things for potential buyers. Great advice - thanks for sharing!

Thank you for sharing Jeffrey, best wishes to you on future sales 😊👍😊

You gotta be a d* when selling stuff or people will try you

Dude wanted to pay 500$ for 9 pairs of air Jordan's where I had to ship them to him and wait till he gets them to get paid. I said f* that. Talking about work with him. Tf outta here. You must be crazy.

I’m an og now before 1k

I used to have decent, not great, experience on Marketplace. All in person sales.. but now it seems to be ALL scammers from Instagram.. "send me your phone number" scam Venmo crap. I have gotten disillusioned. I am trying to sell a couple of things and ship it.. we will see. but I am about ready to give up on FB It is a shame cause it is super convenient

How do you sell a big item that would be hard to fit in a car without having anybody come to your home?

100 subs... now 900.. only 9100 to go until your channel is making anything worth the time.. :)

My question, to anyone who is successful with FB selling....how do you manage the transfer of money on the item sold, and how do you keep yourself safe from those who want to rob you at time of sale, or see where you live to come back later to rob you. (I know, I know, paranoia, but today, you can't be too careful.)

Stop meeting in person. It's not a matter of "if" you'll get robbed, it's a matter of when.
Most criminals are inexperienced, dumb, nervous and desperate. I got robbed in broad daylight on a main avenue.
Judge sentenced him and all months later when he got caught.
Even ordered him to pay retribution from the $1000 that he stole. Some cash and credit cards he used after he obtained my waller during an armed robbery.
Till this day I have received like $40 in checks, and it's been years since I've gotten one.
But never expected a penny back, I am happy to be alive. He was a 17 year old with a few arrests on file.
I will never forget his face, I even pulled him from a line up and he later confessed. Pleaded no contest and judge gave him 2 years and like 2 years probation and he was out in half that and I believe he got arrested again on a violent charge.
I remember he had so much fear in his eyes as he aimed the gun to my head.
He only said "give me all of it, all of it" and by the time he finished that sentence grabbed my wallet and went Hussein Bolt on me.
I didn't flinch and gave him the wallet as he snatched it and ran away.
That's what saved me.
Because I even chased him on feet for like 30 feet yelling to drop my id because I needed my license to travel.

Loved the story of the woman cutting her finger on purpose and asking for a discount 🤣

YEAAA I WAS YOUR 900 SUBSCRIBER

Habitat for humanity holds furniture for 3 days after paying for it.

I am banned from eBay and PayPal because both went into negative balance in 2019... The irony is i got a 1099G (which i threw away) for $5500 approx that i allegedly earned

Dude so did you open the box?

some one was trying to scam me selling a item on facebook

could you make a video on the best eTransfer and deposit asap so i wont have to deal with customer's changing minds in buying

I never sell anything on websites. I don't have the time to tackle and the hassle with people. I do yard sell lol. I just tell how much I want that is it.

How do you know if someone added something to the cart or has bought it

Oh man, that sounds exactly like my beginnings years ago on Marketplace. Every single point you mentioned I've encountered.

Been selling on FB Marketplace for year's and I totally agree with your advice. Other then what you've already mentioned I have a few thing's of my own.

I don't give out personal info like a phone number or home address. I tell them we can chat through the app and meet at a public location. I also make sure I'm not followed back where I live.

I remind them the price of the item before we meet. And if they still decide to negotiate in person I just tell them, I'm already at my lowest for this item. Unless they're able to point out some substantial flaw that I failed to notice.

I also only accept cash payment in person. Though it helps to have change on you. I've found buyers alot of time's not having the exact amount and asking if I have change. Though sometimes they might say something like it's okay just keep the change. Which is always great.

Nice video!! 👍🏼 Confirming the meeting I have learned!! Lol I had a $10 meetup only because it was convenient for me. No show! I message that I was at the meetup with her item and she responded “ oh I can be there in 15 min” I responded ‘no already left’ She later said I was too much drama. Huh 🤔? Is t it interesting how it’s the dramatic people who accuse others of being dramatic? 😂 And I no longer hold for people. Not even a day. Just doesn’t work well where I live.

I’ve had great great things happen with facebook market place meetup and sell for cash just make sure to always be professional and stern if they try to haggle more on the phone now I just sold my first facebook market place shipping situation and it says ill be paid 2 days after the package shows up to the guys house and honestly I really don’t like that but the payment thing is done thru facebook so im guaranteed the money and he is guaranteed the money back if he says the product isn’t up to his standards which is nice they have insurance for that but the only thing i don’t like about fb marketplace is how they charge the seller the whole shipping fee or the seller half the shipping fee and the buyer half the shipping fee so its just so so so so so weird and if i want to ship it thru my own carrier i can set the shipping price myself and them the buyer will pay $48 shipping when it only costs me $4 to ship it so be careful with shipping charges on facebook certain items have $10 unbelievable low rates on the products but the shippings is where they will make the money from
