![]() I've been running an Ebay business (of selling retro video games) for about 4 years now, and about 80% of my sales come from Ebay and the rest from Gumtree and Facebook.Anyone who’s finished a game of Civilization I or II by winning the Space Race is familiar with the tense final turns leading up to humanity’s arrival in Alpha Centauri. Exposure though, nothing else comes close to Ebay as your reaching a worldwide audience. ![]() Gumtree has optional extras for listings which does cost money, but the standard listings themselves are free and you can have up as many listings up as you like. Over here in Australia we have Gumtree which is similar to your Craigslist. So this is one of those "you get what you pay for" type things. Compare that to Ebay which has the fees sure, but it has a mostly excellent customer service side of things with super fast response times. So on one hand it's good, but on the other it's COMPLETELY broken, and it is clear that Facebook slapped it together then didn't allocate any staff to maintaining it. Get enough of these flags and you'll suddenly not be able to post new listings anymore. Combine this with the fact that Facebook never replies to your appeal requests to have the flag removed. It flagged a Sonic The Hedgehog game I was selling as a prohibited item (presumably it thought I was trying to sell a real Hedgehog). ![]() The catch is that it's item flagging system (of flagging an item your selling as prohibited) is ridiculously stupid. Facebook Marketplace is another one, and it has no fees of any kind.
