Some pro tips - for items over $500 - $700 consider meeting outside your local police station. Don't tell them your exact address until you know for sure they are able to come - you dont want them to show up when you're not there since they could be annoyed with you or they could rob you. Also, you can blow off the deal if you're not at home and don't feel like heading back if they don't know where you live.
Is it still available, because there are so many people won’t take down there ad when it sells, and there are several who never even respond at all. Ads should expire after a amount of time.
This is the 3rd video I have watch about some tips on selling on marketplace. And you made the same condescending comment about people sending the "Is this still available?" message. It is just a generalized opening question to contact the seller with. If an item hasn't been taken down, that does not mean it is completely available. There are many times a seller is dealing with multiple potential buyers. So by asking if the item is still available, the seller can let the interest person know if it is, or if there is others interested or even if the item is pending. If an item is pending or people are interested, a buyer isn't going to know unless they ask.
Scammers are everywhere. The reason the caveman survived is because at some point he realized he was gonna have to leave the cave and face that Sabertooth tiger. If you want tell me about sellers getting scammed, then you also have to explain the people who spent yrs being successful.
For me people seem stingy and refuse the shipping option when every other site enforces shipping worldwide. I quit selling because of that and now with inflation I don’t blame them anymore.
Thanks for the tips! I'm intrigued about FB but have hesitated because I am so used to ebay. I enjoy ebay because I can set it and forget it. One thought I've struggled with is whether to list the same items on both FB and ebay.. Do you list items on more than one platform at a time?
Thank you for the video! I appreciate your willingness to share your experiences & knowledge. I am new to this, and have been getting discouraged b/c I don't get many offers, thought I am regularly staying over 1,400 views/week. I am considering adding the option to ship, though I have some misgivings about doing so.
Are there still tag words in Facebook marketplace if so a video walk through perhaps of how you list an item on Facebook marketplace would be awesome just so I can see how to implement these tag words this used to be commonplace I feel like since there's been a revision on Facebook market place I'm not sure how to go about doing that
Nah i sold to tons of people with no profile. You'd be surprised how many people make a quick account just to buy an item, then delete their account. Not everyone wants to be on fb and what they say is way more important to look out for than the profile pic.
The question I have is I thought FB didn't pay you until the customer received the item is this not true? Do I have to pay the supplier w my own money before receiving payment from marketplace?
Do you use a separate Facebook account to sell on Marketplace? I like keeping my identity/information hidden from potential buyers until I know they’re serious buyers, not scammers or something worse. On Craigslist the initial emails are anonymous and once trust is established more personal information can be exchanged. I also prefer not to have to use a Facebook account to sell on the Marketplace, should be a separate app. Thanks
I don't, but I understand why people would do that and I think it could be a good approach but only if you take the time to add some content to the new account to make it look legit. Otherwise you might lose potential buyers because they will check out your profile and see nothing there. And for building long business relationships with people too it could be a problem if you use fake pictures and then they feel like YOU'RE the scammer 😂
@@BrickBucks Thanks, good point. I just wouldn’t want to mix a personal and business Facebook account. I would just make a new one for selling, promoting and providing LEGO content. Thanks again
Hand movements are an important part of a presentation. They help to clarify, specify, and enhance the speech which aids the comprehension of a message.

get their plate number when they pull up too just in case
Thanks I like your presentation. It's very practical and informative.

If an item is pending or people are interested, a buyer isn't going to know unless they ask.
It’s preferred that you begin with an offer or a relevant question.
There's also a "pending" option for your items that may be in negotiations
Sensible advice. Thanks for sharing.
Haggling is an issue tbh, but when you buy via marketplace too it can cancel out. Meeting outside police stations limits scams from my experience.
Yeah but it limits your sales. Just need to be aware and smart.
It is interesting that you do not address the constant stream of scammers to the point that I stopped selling several times.

Is this still available?
YES it's Available! Would you like to schedule a pick-up?
Next thing you know that "yes" gets your entire bank account wiped. Gotta be smart.
@@JuliusTurner-hm6ff wow!
Thanks for explaining the points and tips. So right about how some people just like to feel like the got a better deal by increasing it a little.
For me people seem stingy and refuse the shipping option when every other site enforces shipping worldwide. I quit selling because of that and now with inflation I don’t blame them anymore.
Thx Shane- calm and honest tips!! Vic
Awsome, starting soon with Facebook. Late to the FB but so smart with them getting market place user friendly
Thanks for this video. It was really helpful ❤.
I love and appreciate 🥰 it
Thx for uploading I’m definitely going to be committed to your channel from now on
I just started and only used marketplace and im doing so well
Give me a few hundred then.
Thanks for the tips! I'm intrigued about FB but have hesitated because I am so used to ebay. I enjoy ebay because I can set it and forget it. One thought I've struggled with is whether to list the same items on both FB and ebay.. Do you list items on more than one platform at a time?
why not if you already have the pictures and info??
@@mo_goal bcoz if ur item sold at the same time on both platforms then u will get negative feedback for the one U have to cancel from
@@hanzocloud oh i didn't know they could leave reviews on canceled transactions

Thank you! Video idea for you guys...maybe a pros & cons of selling on various platforms. Amazon vs eBay vs FB Marketplace vs Mercari etc.
Great tips! I recommend to all trying to sharpen the edge so to speak.

No I don't see tag words anymore!
Is it a red flag if the person offering to buy your stuff has a blank profile?
And if they ask for your phone number?
Yeah I would be a bit hesitant with blank profiles. If it seems weird, walk away

Huh? For shipping? I'm lost. You get the money as soon as the sell is done.
But my Facebook marketplace is not run

Then I suggest not using your name. They can still find your other page if you use your name.
How do you know if the buyer is legit. They want to pay with check or certified check
You act like you're at a casino and take the gamble. Gotta lose to win and take risk.
your hands are so distracting as they are moving constantly
