I'm still frustrated that everything people sell is just on Facebook marketplace now. No one uses stuff like Craigslist anymore, and it's super frustrating cause I periodically wanna get something used but really hate that everything is just listed on facebook
There’s also Nextdoor app if you’re looking for local stuff that’s free and for sale. It’s full of old people posting random shit just like Facebook tho.
I dunno man, I didn't like my time on Nextdoor. Those people were some of the NIMBYest and casually racist people I've seen.
That's what it is in SF. Angry elderly racists. No more, no less.
Thankfully a lot of people here in Canada still use Kijiji over Marketplace.
I hear you. It's super frustrating when buying, but at the same time you can get like double the price for your shit on marketplace while selling. That's a tough one to give up, even for the staunchest of meta critics.

The company that still fights to pay disabled people less than minimum wage? Probably better than suggesting Amazon, but still not that great an alternative.
Give us something free and we'll resell it to the poor.
Honestly, it's between the UI and the chat feature. And the fact it's at least slightly tied to your identity. And selling on Craigslist being kind of clunky still. They could probably make up the difference if they tried.
We have KSL Classifieds here in Utah. Also covers parts of Idaho and Colorado.
