Facebook has gone beyond just a social media
where you chat and interact with like minded
people but now, it has launched its own online
market place where you can buy and sell any
item to people within your community.
According to Facebook Project Manager Bowen
Pan, up to 450 million people already use
Facebook to buy and sell used goods every
month, mainly through its groups feature.
With Marketplace, Facebook is now giving
users a more formal process to conduct these
exchanges.
Facebook Market place is a destination for
people to find—and make offers for—items
directly through Facebook’s mobile app. A
button for Marketplace will replace the
Messenger icon in the bottom center of the
app.
In other words, what you can do on Jiji OLX
etc you can now do on Facebook market place.
But it’s important to note that in terms of
safety and financial security, Facebook does
not have the same kinds of protections or
guarantees as eBay. All sales are handled
offline and by users themselves.
How Do I Sell Items on Facebook Market
Place?
1. Take a photo of your item, or add it from
your camera roll
2. Enter a product name, description and price
3. Confirm your location and select a category
4. Post
Marketplace will be rolling out to everyone
over 18 years old in the US, UK, Australia, and
New Zealand on the Facebook app for iPhone
and Android.
Subsequently, it will be expanded to other
countries of the world.
