And sometimes they even after paying cash on delivery they get cheated as they don't open the packaging at that time and when they open they find something else what they ordered.

From the marketplaces that I know, Tokopedia, Lazada, and Shopee. There is a return of goods and funds feature, which can be used when the goods do not match the order. But it must include video evidence of package unboxing.

My experience buying goods on the marketplace is also a lot of fraud, like buying item A, I received item B, which has no price. In fact, it's safer on social media, because buyers and sellers already know each other, especially Whatsapp and Facebook, many successful traders, even buyers have reached Hong Kong and Taiwan and other countries.

I often buy things from the marketplace, so far it's been safe. There has never been any fraud. Because I'm always keen to see store ratings, especially the bad ratings. If there are many bad ratings I will leave the store.

Facebook seems to be one of the more popular places to earn online, I see a lot of people advertising electric goods, furniture, and such that they no longer need to earn a little and also help someone out. I wouldn't say that it is unsafe to sell and buy through Facebook or even online but you do need to be very careful when you sell and buy online as some people can and will scam people and it has been known to happen.

It is safe to sell on social media. If they order, get the payment first thru a credit card or at any means of payment to avoid returning your product which you already capitalized.

Nowadays it's not safe to selling on the social media networks. This is because most people nowadays have reverted to the paid ads as engagements on the social networks are reducing drastically.
