I made a minimal account just to use Marketplace and then a few months later was permanently locked out of marketplace because some AI decided I was suspicious. It’s not with it.

millennial who quit all social media except Reddit/Lemmy (now just Lemmy) nearly a decade ago now.
it's great for my mental health. the only issue is that Facebook decided to take over as being the new Craigslist with Marketplace so I feel like I'm missing out on the best sales of used items because i refuse to make an account and give Zuck my data

I’m a frequent Craigslist user for both sales and purchases. Selling stuff has become extremely difficult since Marketplace took over as the the “standard” for the area I live in. I’m in the same boat as I refuse to make an account on that shit heap of a website so getting my sales to move takes a lot more work.
It also does not help that the second-hand landscape has changed a lot in the past 5ish years. People expect a lot more money for their used items now and buyers expect steep discounts for like-new condition items.
