That doesn’t explain why people have done it on Craigslist since before Facebook existed, where they have to open an email client, type it out, and send it.
“If the post is still up, the item is still available. I will remove the post as soon as it is no longer available. If you message me and ask me if it’s available, I will block you.”
Me: yes, it’s still available Them: never to be heard from again
To be fair, this one is common on Facebook because it’s the stupid top auto reply thing that is way too easy to fat finger when browsing listings

I add this to my listings
“If the post is still up, the item is still available. I will remove the post as soon as it is no longer available. If you message me and ask me if it’s available, I will block you.”
And then I block them.
