Do you use Facebook Marketplace? Worth it?

I think it’s meant for users to sell small items. Not for business to do their listings. I would try out the local marketplaces like Shopee or Lazada for more commercial products. In singapore, we have carousell which is used for most 2nd hand items. Recently there has been alot of new items as well and if you get lucky, you can get a like new item for a used price.

The expensive stuff sells better than the cheap items do. There are entire conversations on reddit about this. Many times people don't even show up for the freebies or the cheap stuff. But they will come running over for the over $100 items.

Anyone here making consistent sales from Facebook Marketplace? Curious if it’s more useful for local sales only or can scale online offers too. I usually skip the Marketplace placement when running ads, so not sure if I’m missing out

Me. I never run ads, and I make consistent sales. I also ship when I feel like it, but I do not use facebook payments. I just put in some listings that I will ship. I have Square and email the person an invoice. I have had people travel from other states to buy something, so I know that more than local people see it. You can refine a search to within a certain amount of miles. It depends on what you're selling too though. I am an antique dealer. I sell antiques, vintage, collectibles. Sometimes new items but not a lot. I am dedicating this year to being more mindful and making it a point to list a lot more in marketplace. It is working so far. I don't know what you're selling, so can't say if you are missing out. But if you're giving people a deal and the item is cheaper than everywhere else, then you're missing out. People also like unique things that they can't find anywhere else.

marketplace is the best place for warming up accs

Facebook Marketplace is great to use; it works very well. You can list products on Marketplace without necessarily having to run ads.

No, i don't use it. If i want to sell something, i usually look for groups with shared interests and sell my items there.

Yes, especially for electronic devices, probably won''t need to buy another brand new electronic device ever again

Yes, I think Facebook Marketplace is still worth testing, especially for local products and services. The key is having competitive pricing, good photos, clear descriptions, and responding quickly. Results can vary a lot by location and category.

In my opinion, Facebook Marketplace is still well worth using in 2026.
