    I never thought to look it up (since I don’t use Instagram) but there is a way to set up a shop in Instagram and THAT is where Meta gets their cut.

    All these years, I thought it was like some sort of Craigslist deal where people would advertise there but deal with payments in other ways. Oops.

        I have always liked the concept of Facebook Marketplace, but the fact it was a Meta product made me not use it. The unfortunate side effect to Facebook Marketplace taking off was that Craigslist got a lot less listings. LetGo was pretty good for a while but OfferUp bought them and I haven’t found any alternative quite as good since.

        Doubly frustrating since Facebook is also the hub for many Buy Nothing groups. Oh well.
