It is hard to control these things on scale. Even thinking to compete with Facebook needs lot of guts.

Yeah, that is the norm on facebook marketplace and I only suggest using it for local pickup only.

You'll end up getting scammers messaging you the second your ad goes live.

Don't care about it. There are a lot of things that are full of temptations and deceptions
