Long time lurker, first time poster! We are having a clear out at home and there was various things we no longer needed. I put them on fb marketplace (and local mum's groups) as free. There were maybe 10 items in the single post (various small furniture and household bits). I don't drive so flogging on fb is a bit easier than trying to get the bits to a charity shop. The private messages are driving me bonkers. I must have received 50+ messages that just said that default - Is this still available? - without specifying what item they were interested in. I also updated the description to mark what was gone (fb wouldn't let me delete the pics for some reason), but people still messaged asking about the items marked gone. After waking this morning to another 15+ Is this still available? messages, I added a note at the top saying I won't reply to any Is this still available? messages if the item isn't specified. Still, I've gotten another 10 (2 more just while I type this!). Why on earth do people do this?? I know I could delete the ad but I've found this deletes the messages (and I'm waiting on someone to collect something tomorrow). Not really looking for advice I guess more wanting to vent.
