Cautionary tale: a Marketplace agent shared his address and took a low offer

A Toronto tech YouTuber let Muse sell a keyboard with Allow Always messaging and his pickup address in its template. It accepted a lower offer, sent the buyer his address and an evening pickup time, and told the waiting buyer he was home; he found out only after an angry buyer left a bad rating. After reviewing logs with Meta's Muse team, he blamed his permission choices plus system errors, and Meta said it was tightening sharing permissions.
