Anyone use this? I have never used it but found a book a wanted - seller seems ok but they have to post it as it is 150 miles away - they have given sort code etc for me to transfer the amount and postage (only about £10) but is this normal on facebook market place? I assume it is buying from seller direct unlike ebay etc?

I've only ever used it for local purchases where I go and make the transaction in person.

Yes, you are buying directly from the seller and therefore have none of the protections etc that come from ebay.

Just be very careful, check the seller out best as you can and if you're not spending loads then I guess it's a low risk transaction.

Depends how much £10 means to you. I think it’s 99% likely you’ll end up with a book in the post… but check their profile. Does it seem a real person? When did they join? Is it a real name? Just use your head, And if it’s a scam it’s only a £10 lesson.
