Yes.
I moderate the Facebook Classifieds page for our community. 3,000+ members and this is one of our biggest issues.
Group rules are go in the order of publicly posted expression of purchase intent. PM's are to be ignored.
But not everyone in the group reads or remembers the rules so naturally some will try to take advantage of that and PM if they want the item but are not first in line in the public queue.
Then I have to hear it from the person following the rules when they don't get the item.
Luckily the people I moderate aren't 1/10th the hassle of the average PPOT poster.
