You have an account, you count as an active user. Congrats. You are part of their profits.

Delete the account of support their platform. There is no grey area.

I'm open to another suggestion regarding buying and selling used goods. As previously stated, I don't see a viable alternative. All the good stuff is on Marketplace. Very few bother to sell outside of that platform anymore, and few look at other platforms.

I just still use good old Craigslist. The last honest site on the Internet. You know it wasn't built by AI, because the damn thing hasn't changed since 1998. It's absolutely glorious.

We don't have CL in Quebec. I mean we do, but no one uses it, it has never been a thing here.

Ah. I'm sorry. I've actually tried to recreate a Meta account just for FB Marketplace reasons, but for some reason the setup process always fails. It just doesn't work, and I think after a few to many failures (or maybe because I deleted the account), it just seems to lock me out of the process entirely. IDK. Thankfully in my area Craigslist is pretty active.
