Please can you all stop posting Christmas sweet boxes and the like on Facebook marketplace? Thanks

There was only one such post yesterday. This morning, it is chock full of them and is basically unusable as a result.

YABU. This isn't Facebook.

…what rank are you in the Facebook Police ?

Are you allowed to sell them on marketplace? If so then they're not doing anything wrong. If not and it bothers you that much just report it.

it is annoying, I don't know why people can't make them up themselves

Well I'm not on FB, so it's not me.

In what way is it unusable? Just search for what you actually want to buy? 🤷‍♀️

Buy what you want from a proper shop instead.

I’m not really sure it’s something Mumsnet can resolve for you.

Change your search settings then. What's wrong with people trying to earn a bit extra money in these straitened times?
Although admittedly, they are usually massively overpriced and you could do them yourself for much less 😉

Who do you think you’re talking to by posting here?!

I thought that all the sweet box ads were posted by Mumsnetters with a "side hustle". Is that not right do you think?

Why would you think that?

I get it op. I’m sick of seeing them..”Christmas Eve Bags . Reindeer food, consisting of oats and glitter in a cone with a ribbon to fasten, a cheap puzzle, a colouring book and pack of crayons from the £1.00 shop, a sachet of hot chocolate drink, a pack of mini mallows and Christmas themed mug and a Magic Santa key, all contained in Christmas gift bag. £10.00.
Then there’s the budget version for a fiver: a smaller gift bag with colouring book, crayons, reindeer food and a sachet of hot chocolate, a few mallows wrapped in cling film and a Chocolate bar.
It was rife during Lockdown with home baking, pies, cake boxes, afternoon teas.
I used to ask what their Food Hygene rating was, hardly any of them replied. Only the ones who did actually have one bothered to reply.

Don't go on cocking facebook then, dumbass.

What a weird thought process 😂

U OK hun?

I've never once seen a sweet box on Facebook!

Now you have given your algorithm a good old boost by posting about them on here you will see nowt but sweet boxes.

Just checked my FB Marketplace. Not a single sweet box to be seen (and that’s with no filters).

Why?

This is a quote I'm gonna use from now on.

Most MN take the piss out of those ridiculously overpriced cobbled together sweet boxes OP. so you're wasting your time here.

But the people responsible are definitely here 🤣

Why are you posting here and not on Facebook?

What a weird assumption.

So you think everyone making sweetie boxes is on mumsnet? I doubt that.
