When you buy a bike helmet or child car seat, one thing matters most: will it protect you or a loved one in a crash? We trust that these products are tested to be safe. But that’s not always the case.

A Macomb County woman has been charged in connection with a $52,000 Facebook Marketplace scam, officials said.

Meta says it will allow some Facebook users to view eBay listings on its Marketplace service.

A Metro Detroit man sent almost $5,000 to someone selling a boat motor on Facebook Marketplace before he found out it was a scam.

Federal safety regulators are urging consumers to stop using baby pillows that have been linked to 10 infant deaths but are still being sold on Facebook Marketplace, despite being recalled two years ago.

With listings for everything from clog shoes to cars and cabinets, Facebook Marketplace is the hot spot to buy and sell goods online, and scammers know it, and now they’re working on getting your attention and your money.

That is the end of a two-block chase between Detroit police and two men in a stolen Jeep Grand Cherokee seen in the video player above. About 20 minutes before 6:45 p.m., police say those two men were meeting someone else they’d contacted on Facebook Marketplace to buy some Air Jordan sneakers.

Not every buyer and seller on Facebook Marketplace is trustworthy.

As you will see the demand is high because we are approaching a significant date and many may have been procrastinating. The demand is so high for appointments at the SOS that some people are selling their appointment times on the Facebook Marketplace. Avoid paying for an appointment because getting one is not as hard as it seems. To make an appointment visit the SOS website by clicking here. If you are concerned about getting an appointment remember there are thousands of next day appointments available online every single day, there are 130 branch offices, website options and self-service stations.

For anyone looking to make some extra money or replenish that pocketbook, have you considered selling your old items online? Even if they’re in used condition and you’re selling them as such, you’ll still want to make them look attractive to potential buyers. If you’re selling clothes, include a shot of what the item looks like on. And if you’re selling kids stuff, upload a photo of your kids actually in the clothes (again, blur faces if you’re worried about privacy!) If you’re selling a dresser, for example, be prepared to provide all dimensions, weight, info about moving it, etc.
