Facebook groups or marketplace?

If you are developing your brand, let's create a group. Market Place is also a good backup plan because the demand on it seems to be higher but cannot develop the brand

Like a lot said here, best you dip on both.
Marketplace is generally good for volume and reach, gets out to more people and sale is usually faster, but groups have much better targeting and more trusted in a way, considering it's already niche related and the people in those groups tend to already be interested on the same sort of stuff. Go for both as much as possible. Marketplace for reach, then share into relevant groups for extra traction.
 
Two of them is necessery. But when you interested in lots of items it will be hard to handle them.
 
If you’re choosing between Facebook Groups and selling on different marketplaces, Marketplaces win for speed and scale and Groups win for trust and higher conversion.

Why marketplaces are powerful:
Built-in buyers (people are already searching to buy)
Huge traffic
Easier to scale products

Why groups work:
You can target a specific audience
Build relationships before selling
Less competition (if niche-focused)
 
depends on what you're selling, but marketplace usually has higher intent buyers for local physical goods.
 
marketplace is better for local physical goods where buyers are looking for specific items. groups are superior for niche digital products or services
 
Depends a lot on what you're selling and your goal.

FB Marketplace is better for: physical items, local sales, buyers who are ready to purchase right now. The intent is high — people browse Marketplace the same way they browse eBay. Conversion tends to be faster but competition is visible and price pressure is real.

FB Groups are better for: building trust over time, selling digital products or services, niches where relationship matters (coaching, freelance, info products). A group post can get organic reach to thousands of targeted people if the group is active. You're also not competing on price the same way.

For BHW-style use cases (accounts, services, digital stuff), Groups in the right niche will outperform Marketplace because the audience is pre-qualified. Marketplace is more of a mass-market tool. The downside with groups is that good groups have strict rules about promotion, so you need to add value first before posting any offers.
 
Marketplace is great because of the huge volume, but groups are also great for selling specialized items. Really comes down to what you need to sell
 
Marketplace is better Unless you know a good group with active members related to your products or service
 
tbh i think marketplace is better for fast exposure, especially for local products, and groups is effective when you want trust and repeat buyers.
