As far as updating my status with my location, what I'm doing etc., no thanks.
I don't get Facebook marketplace. It has about 10% of the listed items Craigslist does so the selection is really lame. As far as seeing who you are dealing with....sure you can see their page and photos but what does that tell you? I have done CL extensively for a long time. I generally don't have an issue since I insist on actually "talking" to people on the phone before I bother to go see what they are selling. There are a lot of flakes out there no doubt, that's why I like to use the phone first.
