Marketplace: everything you need to know about the Facebook buying and selling service

Facebook has just launched its new sales service in Spain that offers us the possibility of getting rid of everything we no longer use: Marketplace.In the purest Wallapop style, Mark Zuckerberg's social network allows you to buy and sell items in your area in a simple way.

Marketplace is a section that is available within the smartphone application itself , as well as in the desktop version of Facebook. The products can be filtered by location, category or price.In addition, Facebook connects any seller with buyers who are in the same country, although the most common is to contact people from the same town.


The Facebook Marketplace director, Deborah Lu, explained that the objective of this new tool is to make the purchase and sale of products easier, always keeping the community as the protagonist , according to has published El Pais.In this sense, it is worth noting that Facebook does not charge commissions for the sale of items on the Marketplace.

How do I sell an item in marketplace?


To start using the new Facebook buying and selling tool, just take a picture of the product that we want to get rid of, write an appropriate description of the article, indicate its price and location and publish the offer Then Marketplace will suggest similar products that are in your same area to compare.


Also, both to buy and to sell it is possible to filter the products by categories and thus find in a simpler way what we are looking for.Once we have found a buyer, it is convenient to mark the product as sold to prevent other users from continuing to be interested in that article.


On the other hand, it is important to take into account the rules and policies established by Facebook when using Marketplace. According to these, the sale of medicines, explosives, illegal drugs is prohibited., weapons, tobacco, animals, articles or services for adults, scams or subscriptions that facilitate unauthorized access to digital content.In addition, to be a Marketplace user, you must be of legal age .
