Facebook marketplace messaging

[Tevion28]

Albu to ask why there is such delays in picking up your messages when enquiring about items for sale are the messages not been delivered properly or are the people busy.
I ask a question they reply then thats it I may get a reply hours later or not at all is it a market place fault or just that people have gone busy.

I think it’s a real variety in how responsive people are, I guess it depends how keen they are to sell their item

Maybe they are at work, on holiday, dealing with kids so they can't respond instantly. I'm sure they are replying when they can

People are busy

I reply when I can sometimes in minutes, sometimes hours, sometimes I’ll read the message get distracted and completely forget for days.
