anyways i always cod if i buy something from facebook marketplace, meet the seller, inspect the item, some seller even let me use the item for few days before pay. if all ok then pay cash or online transfer witnessed by both of us on the spot

the key here is "meet the seller"

COD is not wrong. You wanna use COD, you go through platforms like Shopee, TikTok, Lazada.

tak pasti jangan beli. sudah pasti beli saja

Okay, as far i know cod from courier is can’t open, can’t check, can test, have to make payment but then too late already and can’t trace the seller

Not sure. I don't think there is any courier that can let U to open and check first.

Because if the package/seal has been opened. It could cause dispute and the sender could claim the courier make changes to the item inside.

So bottom line is don't order from FB la. Coz don't have 3rd party arbitration like lazada / shoppee

The seller don't have any other platform apart from FB?

avoid dealing with random fb seller/page unless can meet face2face (for marketplace)

Thanks K, decided not to deal with the facebook seller because it seems like a scam, topic closed
