That is why you should not pay for item that you have not seen yet, the blue app is full of scammers.
It seems that scammers are everywhere. We must be very careful. Thank you for letting us know about it.
One has to be careful about anything sold online. Especially by private individuals. You don't have to pay in advance.
I go for products that are sold around me so that I can go see the product and inspect it by myself. The only fear I have about Facebook marketplace is that some people might be selling stolen products.
I have not tried to buy anything on Facebook's marketplace. As you had mentioned, it is best to see the products first before paying them. We cannot guarantee if they are in good conditions or not.
Facebook marketplace is not regulated therefore any transaction there is based on personal risk . Therefore, there is need to be cautious and security alert. I heard a story where one dude was kidnapped simply because he want to check out a car you saw on Facebook marketplace.
I arrange a meeting in a public place and at such places, there should be security presence. Make sure you get a receipt from a credible outlet before buying anything advertised on marketplace.
