Pretty much any cosmetic item should obviously be a no go. You have absolutely no idea where that thing has been. If you think you should pick up a toothbrush, deodorant, or chapstick from Facebook Marketplace you may want to think again because there’s a strong possibility you will be getting sick from it.

It’s also helpful to avoid things that may give you lice. Hats, pillows, and mattresses would definitely be prime things to avoid when going on the app. There are definitely better places that you could buy these things in order to avoid the creepy crawly hair bugs.

Also probably don’t buy bombs from Facebook Marketplace. They just might not give you the result that you are hoping for.
