Porch pickup facebook marketplace?

[red324]

I have some small items i'd like to sell on facebook marketplace and I don't really want to wait around all day for people to show up. Can I have them venmo me then you just shoot them the address and let them pick up the item?

No one will go for that. If you don't want to wait around all day. Just tell them a specific time frame which you are available. Like if you are home during the evening.

Then you aren't waiting for them. You'd be home anyways. If they don't show. It won't matter. As you'd have been home anyways.

They have porch pickup as an option on facebook

While they do. I couldn’t see ever prepaying. Unless the person was a real life friend or family member. Not some random marketplace stranger.

You got to watch there are scammers on Marketplace, and they're making people beware of the scammers, so what's the scoop you need money so soon? Please take no offense, and I apologize on my part.

i won’t pay anyone until it’s in my hands. What’s the rush to have your money now?

[red324]

I just don't want to wait around all day for someone to show up for an item i'm selling for $20-$30

Maybe drive it to them then?

Or take your stuff to a pawn shop.. or have them only be able to pick it up a certain time or day of the week that you’ll be home
