WHAT A JOKE.   so much scam, spam, and flim flam..  and  people flagging
left and right for no reason..


the amount of BS replies and flagging make it such a hassle...


anyone else had a bad experience??


No automobiles, but have posted and sold a bike and wheelset there.
Maybe 2 obvious spam/scam responses, but they are so easy to spot that
they were no distraction at all.


Besides, I'm not in a hurry to sell, so wasn't concerned if I had made a
mistake in identifying the scammers. Didn't interfere with selling what
I had advertised.


I still have a set of bike wheels posted there and since getting the initial
2 scammers, except for legitimate responders, no more scam attempts.
