Ehhhh how do you guys go around selling stuff?
I know to trade in Police departments, dont know what to do with fake money.
Getting 100 messages to sell and that they will pay with Zelle (yeah fuck whatever they are planning there)
Tips welcome, so many frauds rolling around

You're in burgerland, any reason why not just ebay, paypal and ship?
or craigslist, meet in person in a safe public location and suck their-I mean give them the goods for cash. No chargeback risk that way.

in germany we got ebay kleinanzeigen (not related to normal ebay), i think something similar is called craigslist in the US?
if i sell something it's always without shipment, just for pick up at my house and cash. there are way too many scams going on, also because of taxes, i rather go down with the price a little bit and don't have to go through all the shit. also never use paypal, they can charge back 6 months i think?
never really thought about fake money, since people mostly got good standing in their accounts, people who are just stupid (you can tell right away) just get blocked and never get even close to getting the items. if i would sell something for like 300 euros+ i would do a trade at a bank, so they get the cash in front of me out of the machine, then they would get the item. if they don't want to do it, thats fine, someone else will buy it.
all the stuff i sold in the past year was mostly to older people, people who resell it (since i sold it cheap), or people who really needed the item. there wasn't a single person i would call a scammer or weird or so at my house. just use common sense and block everyone with bad account standings and all the idiots right away.

don't do it and if it's that much messages, don't sell it on fb. not worth it to get through all this shit. i hate it already if i get like 5 messages from idiots who want a price drop or ask for shipping even if always write that the price is fixed and there will be no shipping in any way, still they ask.
but it's not like 20 messages from all over the world, i would go crazy.
go for craigslist and hope for the best. never ever heard of zelle and paypal is fucked up enough already, jsut don't risk it.

If its the same old scam, they will offer to pay you asking amount or more "to make sure they get it". Then offer paypal/zelle/whatever 'accidently' send too much show you a screenshot of how much they sent, as ask for the extra back. Screenshot is fake and someone just sent them a refund they never got to start with.
I do FB marketplace, and craigslist a few times a year, I just send anyone not local right to trash without reading it.
