In 2016, Facebook launched its famous marketplace, promising to make it easier to buy and sell products locally. Over the years, the micro-level commerce feature on the social media platform has gained users who use it on a regular basis to buy, sell, or rent goods and properties
Where Can You Find Facebook Marketplace?
Before the marketplace feature was launched by Facebook, people used to have garage sales or put up ads for their products or service on Craigslist. Local Facebook groups were also a hotspot for these kinds of sales. But Facebook decided to make it easy to list products and approach buyers by launching a marketplace icon on the platform itself.
What Can You Find on the Facebook Marketplace?
The marketplace is versatile when it comes to the things you can find for sale, be it brand new or refurbished. You can find anything from clothes and accessories to kitchen items, to even gadgets on the Marketplace. In most of the cities, you can even find properties for sale or rent.
Marketplace has made it easier for buyers and sellers to transact:
Clothes & Accessories
Phones
Laptops
Computers
Tech gadgets
Home Accessories
Commercial/residential property for sale
Commercial/residential property for rent
Land for lease, sale or rent, and so on…
How to Get to the Facebook Marketplace?
Just open Facebook on your browser or mobile phone app and click on the icon that looks like a store. You can immediately look at all the listings that you can buy or rent.
Once on the FB marketplace, set the pace and distance to where you want to buy the goods and contact the seller.
If you are the seller, just send the locality where you want to sell your goods, click on add a listing, add in the necessary details, and hit publish. You’re done.
Conclusion
With the Facebook Marketplace feature, it has become easier for both parties to conduct the sale without any hiccups with just the click of a button. If you are looking to buy something for your house in your locality, just go to the marketplace, browse for the desired item, and contact the seller. It’s that easy!
