He’s looking for strategies to protect himself and his buyers from such scams and wants to know how to ensure a secure transaction process on the platform.
"This is Tyler from Flagstaff, Arizona. I've started selling stuff on Facebook Marketplace but recently encountered a bunch of scam attempts. For example, when I tried to sell a couch, I had from three different people who said they wanted to buy it sight unseen. They each said they’d be sending someone to pick it up, but it all seemed sketchy and of course no one ever arrived. These experiences have made me cautious. What strategies can I employ to safeguard against scams, and how can I ensure a secure transaction process for both myself and my buyers on this platform?"
