Facebook Marketplace query

I listed an item for sale on FB Marketplace and clicked the boxes for it to be advertised in 2 local groups of which I'm a member.
They are things like 'Things for Sale in This Village and the Next One' so very local. Because the item's too big to post.

I've just had an enquiry from a potential buyer who lives 85 miles away!

My postcode in the Facebook listing is definitely correct.

Can anyone explain where I might be going wrong with my listing, please! Thanks.

It’s based on their search distance, they probably have it set to 100 miles

bloody hell, I've been messaged about 20 times by someone wanting to buy my £50 telly...asking for video of it working, pics of it out of the box, which were on the listing...she last messaged about 1245...and apparently is coming to get it in the morning...we shall see!

Ah, I see. Thanks for the tip, @FelicityBeedle

@TheUnquestionedAnswer yes! Lots of hassle and time-wasting on FB Marketplace compared to EBay. But Marketplace is free, so worth trying to sell there first!
