You're not the only one who's had enough.
Facebook Marketplace Sellers face unique challenges: Lowballers and ghosting buyers who say 'is this available?' and then vanish before pickup. Coordinating pickup times and meeting locations safely with strangers, plus the no-shows. Payment scams (fake Zelle screenshots, overpayment, Cash App reversals) at the moment of handoff. Tracking what you paid versus what you sold for to know if the flip was actually worth the gas and effort. On top of all that, Wave charges $16/month ($192/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median Facebook Marketplace Seller earns $32,000/year. Software at $192/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.
Your Smartphone for listing photos and Messenger is yours. You bought it once. Nexa works the same way — $279 once for invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, and full accounting. All connected. All offline-capable. You own it like you own your tools.

My phone never stops buzzing because every listing draws ten 'is this still available?' messages and maybe one real buyer. I answer them all anyway because you can't tell the tire-kickers from the closers until pickup. This morning I'm refurbishing a dresser I bought for thirty, cleaning it up, fixing a drawer slide, and I'll list it for one-twenty if it photographs well in the driveway light. A buyer ghosts after I held the item all day, so I message the next person in line. Another offers half my asking price with no shame, and I either hold firm or move it because it's been sitting two weeks. I coordinate three pickups, all wanting to meet at different times, and I pick a public lot for the sketchy-sounding ones because meeting strangers from the internet is the job. At handoff one guy shows me a Zelle screenshot that the money's coming and I make him wait until it actually lands, because I've been burned by a fake before. Evening I load a couch into my truck for a delivery I charged extra for, and when I get home I try to remember what I paid for everything I sold this week. The gas, the cleaning supplies, the hours, none of it gets counted, so I'm never quite sure which flips were worth it.

The average solo operator there spends about $1,600/year on software — and Facebook Marketplace Seller face their own version of that math. Tennessee has no state income tax. But tri-state metro means clients in MS (5%) and AR (5.5%) add complexity. Tennessee contractor licensing for projects over $25,000. Memphis/Shelby County requires a business license. MS and AR sides have separate requirements.
Numbers reflect typical solo operators in the Memphis metro. Your situation will vary.
