A couple of thoughts here:
First off, you've only been charged the $0.04. The $48 is just the maximum budget you set; you only pay for what actually gets delivered. So don't worry about losing the money. You can dispute it if they charge you the full amount, but they won't.
'Not delivering' usually means one of a few things:
- Your ad got rejected. Sometimes selling single items via ads can get flagged by their system; they prefer you to use Facebook Marketplace for that kind of thing. It's probably not seen as a proper commercial ad.
- It could also just be a glitch in the system, which happens sometimes. Pausing and restarting can sometimes work, but it sounds like yours is stuck.
- There could be an issue with your ad account, like a payment method failing or the account being new and under review.
It's perfectly fine to delete the ad and the listing. It won't cause any problems.
Honestly, I'd say you're better off just listing the camera on Facebook Marketplace directly. Boosting posts for selling a single second-hand item isn't really what the tool is designed for, and you'll probably have better luck on Marketplace where people are actually looking to buy stuff like that.
Hope this helps!

You won't be charged the full $48, only the $0.04 that was actually spent, so no need to worry about disputing it.
It's likely just a glitch or the ad was rejected by the system. Just delete the current ad; it's completely fine. You're probably better off listing it on Facebook Marketplace anyway.
Hope that helps!

First things first, you only pay for what's delivered, so you'll only be charged the 4 cents, not the full $48. So you don't need to dispute anything.
The 'not delivering' issue is often because the ad has been rejected for some reason, or it's just a system glitch which does happen. Selling a single item like a camera is sometimes better suited for Marketplace rather than an ad, which might be why it got stuck.
I would just delete the ad; it's totally fine to do that. Then just list the camera on Facebook Marketplace. You'll likely get more interested buyers there anyway, as that's where people go to look for second-hand gear.
Hope this helps!
