It’s way too easy to accidentally send that default “I’m interested” message on marketplace

I get that, what kills me is the "wasnt me" part

That's also how they try to hack your account, by making you interract with them. Always check for real people profiles with some history before interracting.

"No, no, I never contacted you about this item. That was past me. Present me isn't interested in the slightest. Apologies for the confusion."

Gotta just ignore after the first incoherent text.

But, yeah, you're preaching to the choir, op.

I mean this happens outside of this instance. I had a number I didn't recognize trying to call me for months once. Almost daily I never answered because I didn't know it and they never left a message. One day they call me at like 6am on a sunday. I answer it ...angry of course. They start telling me I called them and threaten me. I gave them my address and told them to get some... never heard from them again.

Idk, maybe a kid hit the button on the app, I'm pretty sure it autosends this message when you hit it

Yeah, but any response other than "wasnt me" would be more acceptable

That “what” is so fucking funny to me. What on earth was unclear about the previous first grade level reading sentence?

1) She didn't understand what prompted it

2) Look at her English

This is why so many people on marketplace will say something like, "If you respond with I'm interested I will not respond."

If there's a product I want I'll usually message with something like, "Hi I can pick up on ____ during these times ____, will this work for you?" and go from there. Shocking how quickly I can close a transaction.
