Facebook Marketplace is an online marketing service built directly into the Facebook site to enable users to purchase and sell things right on Facebook. This service is particularly and mostly advantageous to buyers and sellers residing within the same location.
The Facebook Marketplace service is totally free to users with absolutely no catches. As a seller, you just have to get your item registered and put up for sell while buyers only have to search for items of their choice, get in contact with the seller and go into business with them.
As amazing as this service sounds, there are caveats – only users up to the age of 18 and from a number of selected countries have this service available on their Facebook account. Such countries include the US, UK, Mexico, France, Germany, Spain, India etc.
