Done with Facebook Marketplace drama?
So are we.
The local buy-and-sell marketplace where scammers get banned, no-shows face consequences, and your data stays yours.
Sound familiar?
These are the most common complaints about Facebook Marketplace. We built Snaggd Up to fix every single one.
"The seller never showed up"
You took time off, drove across town, and they ghosted you. On Facebook, nothing happens to them.
"Facebook is tracking everything I do"
Every search, every message, every listing you view — all harvested and sold to advertisers.
"The item was nothing like the photos"
Fake photos, misleading descriptions, items "in great condition" that clearly aren't.
"Is it still available?" — 47 times"
Tire kickers, lowballers, and people who message but never intend to buy clog everything up.
"I don't want to need a Facebook account"
Why should buying a used lawnmower require handing over your social graph to a billion-dollar corporation?
"Nobody holds anyone accountable"
Report a scammer on Facebook and get an automated "thanks" while they keep running the same scam.
