Too concerned about fake sellers. Facebook do not seem to filter the criminals out much at all.

Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Twitter are cesspools of scammers.
If a firm is advertising on these channels, there’s a high chance they are scammers.
Facebook marketplace is where scammers go to sell.
YouTube is where pseudoscience cures live.
So to answer your question, no way.
Items I've seen on consumer-facing social media that I've checked up on have been much less than it promised to deliver. All were pump and dump scams, looking for a wave of impulse buys and then moving on to the next thing.
