This!! The ONLY way I buy something from FB marketplace is Local pickup and meet at a location that I pick.....unless we have mutual friends.
Honda 2200 generator for $80

For the OP, you'd have better luck generating electricity from this:
You have been scammed no one likes that feeling. but denial is not the right action.
I'm with @Owen Lucas here-- move ASAP to keep them from getting your money at all. Because you're definitely not getting an actual generator and you're likely not getting your money back.
Agree, 100% scam.
I got hit twice in 2020. There is no product. They'll generate a fake tracking and lead you on for a long time.
I'd instantly contact the CC and stop the charge or reverse it. Cancel the transaction.

My local Kroger has a trailer in the parking lot that looks like the NSA dropped it there-it has cameras hanging out all over the place. That's where I would conduct business, along with the local police station. There's some desperate, crazy people out there!
One of the biggest scams going on FB.
Kiss your $99 goodbye.
You are the 2nd BITOGer in the last two weeks willing to spend $100 for the experience of getting scammed.
Here is the other:
New tool thread
This Factory Outlet site is having a sale on some Milwaukee tools, and if all goes as planned, I am getting the M18 Fuel 1/2 Drive Impact with 2 batteries and charger $84, and the 7 piece combo with the M18 Fuel 1/2 drive mid-torque impact, $99, yes seems too good to be true. I came across it...

I just sold a gently used 2200 for $800A new $1100 generator for $100 from China, probably counterfeit
If it was used, then maybe, but still, even a used one might go for more than $100
Where did I deny it??
I agree with your assessment as those ads that pop up do look fairly genuine, usually mentioning a closeout, auction, wanting to let things go at wholesale prices to help those in need, etc. Then of course they do have decent pics of name brand items and of course lots of positive feedback comments. Never know...
My cousin's wife got bit by this, she wanted some $800 rechargeable lawnmower and bought "something" for $200. Got a lego (!) in a padded envelope with tracking info. As others mentioned, they will use that tracking number to say, hey, you got your thing.
That’s a good price for 2 units plus the “parallel” cord that gives you 240v if you need it.
Work has one that is used heavily. It starts on the first pull.
That is a pretty good deal, but the parallel cord allows you to generate 4000 watts @ 120 volts.
They would need to be in series to produce 240 volts, in theory.
Not to nitpick but AC doesn't work that way. To produce 240VAC one would need to put out +120 while the other puts out -120 on the 2 phases.
DC voltage adds when tied in series, DC amperage adds when wired in parallel.
When the Honda 2200 or 2000 generators are teamed, they put out power through one 30 amp plug. The 30 amp plug has a hot, neutral, and a ground. There is only 120v power and no way to make 240v.
Yes, I was mostly pointing out that 'parallel' doesn't increase the voltage without getting too geeky about it.
