You have to hand it to the people at Facebook for coming up with Marketplace. Thanks to them, selling stuff online – whether new or used – has not only become more convenient, but it also feels less risky because sellers don’t get to hide behind anonymity.
But of course, not everyone is adept at using such platforms. Some of them may fumble and become a conversation topic in online communities, such as the Marketplace Fails Facebook group.
It’s not about shaming, but rather expressing bewilderment at some of the ads posted on the page. Here are some examples to give you an idea.

I don't think it's that ugly, and I think a lot of the people who say it's ugly couldn't care less about aesthetics and either don't like Elon Musk or are upset that some people have enough money to buy a Cybertruck. I'd never buy a truck or a new car and I'm not a fan of Elon Musk, but it's funny that people get so worked up about the appearance of a vehicle.

Facebook has not been the favored platform for young people for years now. According to 2022 statistics by the Pew Research Center, only 32% of teenagers report using Facebook, representing a 39-point decline from 2014 to 2015. At the time, they accounted for 71% of the platform's younger users.
During the survey period, the majority of users were active on other popular platforms, such as Instagram (62%) and TikTok (67%).

Yet, despite the platform’s apparent decline, its Marketplace has kept the young users coming back. According to Entrepreneur, the remaining 32% of Gen Z Facebook users have made the selling platform a key part of their lives.
As University of Buffalo professor Charles Lindsay tells CNBC, Marketplace is the “flea market of the internet” where a “massive amount of consumer-to-consumer business” takes place.

I sympathize. I had one I ended up donating. Infernal piece of junk that literally would puke up it's contents at random times, get stuck where it shouldn't, break down , awful.

But what is it about Facebook Marketplace that attracts the younger crowd? According to University of Georgia professor Yoo-Kyoung Seock, it’s because the platform offers both affordability and sustainability.
Transparency is also a big deal for younger consumers. According to Seock, people feel safer making transactions with individuals whose names and faces are visible on their Facebook profiles, unlike on Craigslist, where sellers often hide behind usernames.

Looks like The Pebble to me /s but seriously though I think the artist has potential if they keep learning as their shading is quite good for a pencil sketch

I think they're not the best at faces. Great drawing but the likeness is a little off.

In early 2025, Facebook Marketplace partnered with eBay, a pioneer in the online selling industry. According to eBay’s press release in January, it gives users a chance to “enjoy the benefits of broadening visibility” while also reaching a wider audience.

Not everyone can afford brand-new items or easily access flea markets or second-hand stores. Facebook Marketplace ticks both of those boxes, providing people with the convenience that the internet offers in today's world.
“Being able to thrift without leaving home does feel good, especially during the peaks of waves when I’m really not leaving home as much as maybe the average person,” Montreal-based cartoonist Gabrielle Drolet told Canadian outlet Global News in 2022.

You remove the drain plug for winter storage. Five months later, you back it into the lake... I almost did it myself one day, and took the keeping the plug on the keychain for the boat so I couldn't possibly miss it.

While my first reaction is just like yours, I must say that those are the hands of a hard working person. My FIL has hands like these, albeit cleaner (and maybe with some absorbed paint on them)

You would think if you had a prosthetic leg in your house you would have some idea about it. Unless you picked it up in a flea market in case it came in handy one day and it was down in the basement along with the other odds and ends

It looks like the invention of the front facing camera on the phone has been a two-edged sword. You would think that people would at least check what they are posting first.
