Facebook took on Etsy and Ebay in 2016 with the launch of Marketplace, a feature within the main Facebook app that you can use to buy and sell goods. We've seen it work really well on a local basis because it's so simple to see free and paid-for items that are around where you live - and around the stuff you're interested in. Before Marketplace, people used Facebook Groups to buy, sell, trade, and barter. You could set up a garage sale-type group for your community, for instance, so that people in your local neighborhood could post things they had for sale and look for items from others. It was a bit clunky though, with Marketplace offering a much more streamlined approach. Here's everything you need to know about Facebook Marketplace, including where to find it, how to sell items along with how to make purchases safely. Join us online!
