Title: Selling and buying ponies on fb?
Post by: skywlshes on January 01, 2020, 09:15:30 AM: Happy new year !
Do you sell or buy your ponies on a facebook page? Why or why not?
If you do have a fb page, don't hesitate to tell me the name, I love them!
It's where I get most of my ponies. I like to buy them here because i'm very used to facebook and it's simple to naviguate. And it's a wonderful way to make pony collector friends.

I buy mostly off of eBay, sometimes arena members and more recently IG sellers. I've made a very recent purchase from a FB seller for a complete Bratz doll and it seems to be going smoothly so that's something to look forward to.

I'm very wary about giving out any personal information to people and places I don't trust. Facebook has so many security problems it's untrue...and zero protection.

It may be a generational thing for me as well since I've been doing this a while, have my systems and am not really looking for many/any other ponies. But no thanks. Not even for the most wanted pony item on my list. It's not worth the risk.

I keep my facebook private and don't need tons of people creeping. Yes, I do have a dummy account, but selling and shipping means people now have personal info and no thanks.
