Facebook Marketplace is classified-ad section of the social network that specializes in helping individuals and businesses sell items locally. Marketplace is Facebook’s expansion into markets to compete with services like eBay and Craigslist.

Facebook leverages the Marketplace through its social network. Facebook users often already have an account and there is no need to download another app.

Users can quickly get set up to buy or sell from their existing accounts. This capacity makes it easy for people to quickly check what is available on the Marketplace and make easy purchases.
