I hate FBMP. Everything is through Facebook, which I rarely use, and the search functionality SUCKS. I can search for a Mercedes SL55 and have ads for prom dresses intermixed. You also lose your filters with each search, so each search is a new search. There’s also a limited number of categories to help narrow things down. I think of it like a garage sale, you may find a treasure but there’s going to be some digging required.

I buy quite a bit of stuff on EBay and have never had an issue. Including used auto parts that can definitely be hit or miss. I stick with highly rated sellers that have a return policy. Unlike FBMP you also have some recourse in terms of EBay mediation and ratings.
