Title: Facebook Marketplace -- what a mess
Post by DesertCat on 01/18/20 at 14:16:00

First off, the search function is really awful and unpredictable. I search for a make of bike within 40 miles and I find some. Then I make the same search for within 100 miles and I don't find some of the bikes that I just found within 40 miles. I could go on about the other inconsistencies in the search algorithm but I'll only mention that you can't filter out dealer ads. In our area there are a couple of dealers that post (and I'm not exaggerating) 100s of ads every couple of days so your ad (if you're selling) gets pushed down 10-15 pages. I have to delete my ad and re-post it to bring it up to where it's seen.

Then every idiot in the world has to message me asking the dumbest questions and making stupid illiterate comments.

But it is free -- that's one plus. And when someone contacts me I get a chance to view their Facebook profile -- another plus -- unless they have a fake ID, which it seems a lot of folks on Facebook have.
