Anybody Have Trouble with a Buy on Facebook Before?

Well good news. Either I entered his email wrong on PayPal or they did. There are numbers in his email address and PayPal had one extra number in it. I had it copied down correctly on a pad that I used to copy it to PayPal. The weird thing is PayPal had his email wrong but had his name right. So, I had cancelled the first payment and reentered it with the correct address, and he got it. He sent me a copy of the shipping receipt. Other than this hiccup, all my other Facebook deals have gone well.

I've never sold on fakebook, and abhor the site. I do have an account that is locked down and never visited so I can look at pics from that shathole that get posted on here and other forums I visit.
Tried the market place one time to give away a 28hp Craftsman hydrostat riding lawn mower that had a bad exhaust valve on the left cylinder. It would run fine, but backfire like a cannon shot when turning the engine off. Fouled that plug constantly.
As others have found out in my dealings online, I don't sell defective equipment. I give it away.
The fakebook post was (and I paraphrase as it was several years ago)
Mower to give away, (size, etc. listed as well as issues with valve) free to a good home.
No replies. Here is the location on this rural road. If you're the first to get here, it's yours. Load it up and be gone. I will not help and will not reply to requests for help. Will not deliver.
Do not ask if still available.

A year later I was still getting requests for "is this still available.) It was gone in 17 minutes.
