How to Sell Stuff on Facebook Marketplace

How to Sell Stuff on Facebook Marketplace: In the year October 2016, Facebook introduced to its users ”Marketplace”, where users can connect to buy and sell items with people in nearby communities. The feature is largely similar to Craigslist, with one very big difference — you can review any public information on a prospective buyer’s Facebook page as a way to screen them to see if you want to deal with them. You can post an item to Facebook Marketplace in a matter of minutes through either the Facebook desktop or mobile app. Prospective buyers will reach out to you through Facebook Messenger.
