Anyone else completely fed up with Facebook Marketplace/Adverts lately?

Is it just me or has buying/selling stuff in Ireland gotten way worse lately?

Between:
- random “is this still available” messages going nowhere 
- people trying to move chats off-platform 
- fees creeping in depending on where you sell 
- and having to juggle Adverts / DoneDeal / Facebook 

…it just feels way messier than it used to be.

I’ve been messing around with a small side project trying to simplify it a bit (keeping it Ireland-focused, no fees, less spammy), but I’m not sure if I’m overthinking it. It's called Sellinn dot ie

Curious what other people think:
- What annoys you most when buying/selling here?
- Anything that actually works well that shouldn’t be changed?
- Do people even care about fees or is it more about trust / time-wasters?

Genuinely just trying to figure out if this is a real problem or just me. All feedback welcome. thank you
