Big tip to cheat the Facebook system, when you post something on Facebook, IMMEDIATELY go to the item listing under your items that you are selling and click on the "List in More Places" and then you will get more for sale groups to post to other than what you just selected when creating the post. Generally, I immediately select the groups with the largest members first, and when I do that tip, I'll select smaller groups. I can tell you everyone of my listings are around 40 groups, and every now and then it will let me do more. I currently have one item in 75 groups. I don't know how that occurred, ha. Give it a try, and hope it helps.

I sold my first item, Sorel boots, on Marketplace and like you said, in the first few hours I received a scam msg. First, asking if was available, then asking if I could send them to a relative in Texas because she was traveling, for an extra $100?? I was asking $100, for around $200 you can buy a new pair. I immediately called a friend that sells a lot of things on Marketplace to ask if it was a scam, she said most definitely, she suggested looking at the person's FB profile for signs of a fake profile. And they'll always want to use PayPal in get your account info to hack it..I'm working on 10 different projects to sell, so this was very helpful information I'll be using soon.

I sell $500.000.00 a year on Market Place and I have been selling on Market Place since they revamped it in 2017, I have never had to give my phone number to anyone. Have people asked? Yes. Have I given them my number.... no! I don't sell furniture, I sell appliances and have been doing this since 2013. For those people new to selling.... don't get all excited and give out your number. Keep your cool and set your rules and don't do it. I am a member of over 400+ buy/ sell groups but I don't usually sell in the groups anymore. I only use Market Place these days. In my area, the groups are trash these days. By the way.... Is this still available? 😳

I'm pretty good at making relationships so I've also found some people who get furniture once in a while and so i get some solid pieces dirt cheap here and there. started about 4 weeks ago.

For furniture that someone is going to come to you that may work, however, if you are going to offer meeting with someone on another location (I live in a small town and most sales would be 15-20 miles away in other towns, I would want a phone number to call them if f I’m driving to meet them People tend to blow off if you don’t have their number and there are jerks who set up meets and don’t show just for the fun

Ahhh you know I have bought 3 pieces from a local gal who posts on market place but also has a space in a local antique kinda shop...but we don’t go to town really. I didn’t know you could follow. I like that she finds some once well made old pieces in old houses or barns and gives them new life plus furniture to buy new is a pain as local furniture stores are not selling floor models you have to order and it is sooooo slow we ordered 4 furniture pieces and a full mattress and box spring on July 4,2021 and we got them delivered today Feb 24, 2022! The mattress & box spring was for an old French iron bed frame (from that gal lol) when we went to pick up the old buffet. I just saw another sweet piece that with Birdseye maple little desk. So I will follow her now! And I do think I am getting that little desk! We had to tear down our very old house (1886 2 room school house and yes we saved the square nails and much of the full dimensional lumber and some is a 1/w wall on a stair way some a ceiling in an entry way and a barn door between the rebuilt new part and an addition to the old house that was built in 1991 (which we lived in (kids are grown and gone) so we are almost finished with the new house...we did as much as we could ourselves. Next update the addition. And hopefully can stay here for awhile! Thanks for your very informational videos. And we don’t ask for numbers just contact through the market place. We have had mostly great luck even made some friends!

I buy and sell regularly on several platforms, and after the buyer inspects the item, and are sure they want it, I say "can we take care of payment before you/we load please?" or I may say "I need to get back inside, can we settle up before you load?" I've never had one person ask me to wait for payment once I have asked.

Great video, thanks for all the great insights. One thing though I'd like to share: I do not agree with that ''don't give your phone number'' statement... while I do not give it to just everyone, my approach is to ask someone apparently serious to buy to write me on SMS or whatsapp (so we both have each other's phone number, for mutual security purpose). I will NEVER give my address to someone through Marketplace, because there is absolutely no ID. Agreed that someone could go and purchase a SIM card then throw it away after a crime, but this is likely rare cases. Also, if someone wants your stuff and is willing to send an advance, going through such a more personal and identified way raises confidence. I may be wrong, but so far it proved a succesful way to go. Again, I do this when and only when a person has proven to be serious, after several messages usually.

Thank you for putting together this information. I don't flip furniture, but I do sell on Marketplace. It works well for me but, I have one pet peeve. I include all pertinent information in my listing. Still, I frequently have customers ask questions that are addressed in my description. I guess they see the title, get excited and send off a message w/o reading my description. Does this happen to you too?

It happens to me all the time and yes, I get a bit peeved as well. I spend so much time and effort putting details in so they don’t need to ask, then they waste my time asking again.😕

The upside to repeat messages is that every time you answer a question, it bumps/refreshes your listing. The algorithm will favor your post and place it on ‘Today’s Picks’. When people say “I won’t respond to: Is this Item available” they’re seriously missing out on their post performing well.

I sold a baby snuggle bunnies for easter last year. 12inX12in andPictures had a ruler with measurements and the description made it clear it was not a full size blanket. Goodness the headaches I went through and the number I got stuck with because people did not read and/or asked questions. Can't believe I am thinking of doing them again lol.

I've been looking for a RV and have run into SO many scammers. If they tell you to get ahold of my sister, aunt, parent, uncle etc thru gmail don't do it. I had one tell me to pay thru Ebay..it will be delivered to me from Michigan at no cost to me. Keep it for a week and send it back at now charge if I didn't want it but she was in NYC getting ready to ship out because she was a medic in the Army. Ppl have some good tales and I guess some ppl will fall for it. I have reported everyone I see. You'll see later their on vacation mode.
