Selling an item on Facebook Marketplace

Facebook Marketplace is a product buying and selling service that works within the social network and allows for trading among users. It is ideal for anyone who needs extra income and seeks ways to make money using the Internet. In its web version, the sales community lets you create ads that will appear to other members. The platform accesses its geographic location, so that the transaction is done between people closer, which avoids freight costs.

By offering a product, the advertiser has full responsibility for its sales, values and eventual charges for freight. It is worth mentioning that Facebook only provides the space as a page for the dissemination of products and does not interfere in the negotiations. The social network sends alerts to new comments, tastings and allows you to send direct messages to sellers through a Messenger button in the ad.
