I have used fb marketplace and it’s been great for buying and selling locally. But of course the default listing is polluted with a bunch of irrelevant crap from companies and very low quality ads. I haven’t found a way to set the default to local and for pickup only. The only thing I’m interested in is person to person transactions.

100% agree. Been trying to keep my eye out for retro game stuff and other tech things and you have to reset local pickup only after every search. The delivery ones are almost always scams or trash. I'm back to CL only now. Ebay is not so bad but prices are really over bid for everything.
What you want is not very relevant for Facebook, potential for growth is the only thing that matters. And that is a shame, because I see what you propose as a great service.
