The Real Story Behind Each Platform

Craigslist Problems

Scam Central

Multiple security experts warn about ongoing scam risks.¹ Overpayment scams, fake payment methods, and identity theft remain persistent concerns.

No Payment Protection

Cash only meetings in parking lots. No buyer protection, no seller protection.

Time Wasters

Endless back-and-forth messaging with people who never show up.

Poor Listing Tools

Basic text editor, no pricing help, no optimization features.

Manual Everything

You write descriptions, set prices, handle all buyer questions and negotiations yourself.

Facebook Marketplace Issues

Privacy Concerns

Your personal Facebook profile is exposed to potential buyers. Safety risks increase.

Algorithm Lottery

Your listings may not be seen by buyers due to Facebook's complex algorithm.

Fake Accounts

Easy for scammers to create fake profiles and disappear after taking your money.

Limited Support

When problems arise, Facebook support is notoriously difficult to reach.

DIY Listing Management

You handle all descriptions, pricing research, photo editing, and buyer communications manually.

eBay Complexities

Crushing Fees

Up to 13% in fees. Complex fee structure that's hard to understand and calculate.

Shipping Headaches

You handle all packaging, shipping, and returns. Time-consuming and error-prone.

Buyer Protection Bias

eBay heavily favors buyers in disputes, leaving sellers vulnerable to scams.

Complex Rules

Hundreds of policies to learn. Easy to make mistakes that can get your account suspended.

Manual Listing Creation

Detailed product descriptions, category selection, pricing research, and photo optimization all done manually.
