Why do so many people flake out on Facebook Marketplace?

Asking if something is available and then when you tell them it is, never responding. Why did you ask in the first place? Are you just going through and clicking on item after item as if you’re liking Facebook or Instagram posts?

Put a disclaimer: " if you see it for sale, it's available"

@iamnikki Lots of people forget to remove a post when it sells.

@JamesBugman from what I recall, things say "sold" when they are sold, no?

@iamnikki Money does not transfer through facebook in any way, it won't know an item is sold unless the seller flags it that way, but sometimes they forget.

@JamesBugman oh, well that's the sellers fault then if people keep asking "is it still available" . If it's no longer available, mark it as such. 🤷🏾‍♀️ I haven't bought from FB marketplace in years. Never sold on it
