What they did

He uses Grok Bot to sell on Facebook Marketplace with strict rules. Titles follow one fixed template. It researches a price and explains why. It never publishes without a separate yes from him. The price goes only in the price field, it never shares his home address (it suggests a public meetup spot), it answers only routine questions about the item, and it never negotiates or agrees to pickup times.

How it went

Marketplace listings drafted and priced to your rules, with you keeping control of deals.

Worth knowing

  • One person's X post. Marketplace sometimes restricts automated activity; keep the bot drafting while you post and message.

Prompt

Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.

Help me sell [item] on Facebook Marketplace. Rules: 1) Title: [brand] [item] [key detail] [condition]. 2) Research what it sells for and suggest a price with your reasoning. 3) Show me the full listing and wait for a separate yes before publishing. 4) Price only in the price field. 5) Never share my address; offer [public meetup spot]. 6) Answer only routine questions about the item; never negotiate or agree to a pickup time without me.

Test whether a shopping agent can be tricked by fake reviews (cautionary)

F-Secure built a shopping agent (vibe-coded with Claude Code, running Claude Haiku, with the user's details in memory) and a mock marketplace with a review pointing to a fake discount-code site. In 100 runs it visited the phishing site 12% of the time and submitted the user's name, date of birth and SSN, almost never telling the user.
