Sounds to me like he really doesn't want to ship. Most sellers on FB Marketplace are looking to sell locally.

OR he is a jerk!

He could be both.  :)  Regardless, the people I know who use FB marketplace are using it because they don't want to fool with eBay, they'd rather sell locally. Just like most Craigslist sellers.

Haven't heard back from him. Told him several times I was willing to pay shipping costs.
He should be more upfront about this. Just let people know you don't want to ship. Pickup only.
Not let people dangling and hoping for a good deal.

I think his silence is your answer. Not the answer you want, unfortunately.

He did answer me several times. But never how much shipping would be.
The last time he replied he told me the shipping costs to The Netherlands would be more than he would want to cover. He didn't seem to understand that I would be happy to pay for the shipping costs. I told him repeatedly.
Weird.
I gave up.

I never heard back from him either after the "don't count yourself out yet" comment.

I've had that happen before, even with local sales. You ask a question, the seller answers and then apparently doesn't care if it sells or not. Makes you wonder why some people even bother to list an item.
