Is Facebook Marketplace safe for sellers in Australia?
Facebook Marketplace is safe for local pickup with sensible precautions: meet in public, accept bank transfer over cash for items above $100, and never share personal details beyond your first name. Shipping carries more risk — fake payment screenshots are a known scam. Cash on pickup remains the safest method.
