So Facebook Marketplace has its share of odd people or scammers that reply to your listing. But I have sold some stuff. Two ways different kind of things to the same person a few months apart.

But now I see listings "sponsored" that bring you to a website by a Chinese company, often the item will be shipped directly from China. Who would plunk down money (credit card) to a company you never heard of. I know there are consumer protections mandated for credit card. But still.
 
There are plenty of stupid people that do it every day. Then wonder why they either don't get their stuff, get on a mailing list, get their credit card number 'stolen', etc.
 
Seems like people like having "someone they know from their hometown" drop shipping Temu junk. It's not for me but it's for somebody and FB gets to profit off the stupidity. And it keep the lights on for buying my junk cars and etc.
