I dispute this. Craigslist may appear to work better however:

- Many unbundled categories have far better products available now. AirBnB and Trulia are great examples.

- In areas Craigslist still has a hold, such as in rental housing, what we don't see is the cost of Craigslist's failure to provide advanced features. This includes people getting scammed, and bad landlords continuing on without record just like bad taxi drivers prior to Uber/Lyft.

I’d also add that despite the hatred Facebook deservedly gets, I find Facebook Marketplace way better than Craigslist for everything besides the actual product discovery (since it lacks clean-cut categories, but it’s still pretty alright). Since it’s actually moderated either by FB or by buy/sell groups, and people have their identities tied to the things they’re selling there’s way less scams and it makes recognizing people when you meet much more possible. Feels way safer than Craigslist ever did.

There are probably just as many scams on other public sites like facebook marketplace
