Do sellers question the ghost account? I've had that happen to me the few times I've tried using my dev account to make inquiries.



I haven't had any issues with it. I honestly don't know how locked down a Facebook account can be these days so "ghost account" may not be the right term.

I have my name and a profile photo on there, but I've never posted anything, don't follow anyone, and all privacy setting are set to block me from search, feeds, etc.

I've only ever had one person block me after messaging about a car for sale, and I couldn't say whether it was because of the account or the questions I sent made them think I'd be an annoying buyer to deal with.


No but any account made in the last couple years are questionable
