Nothing. Dealers know to check the owner button.

Whenever I'm buying something on CL, like say a car, I always ask the person who answers the phone: "I'm calling about the car. Tell me X about it."

If they reply "Which car?" then you've reached a dealer, not an owner.

And then, of course, you go back to CL and flag their post, right? ...You do report abuse on this free platform so that everyone's experience can be improved, right?
Does that button... do anything?
If you have to ask: not until you actually use it, no.
The photos will be obvious enough if its a dealer car or being sold out of a driveway
