The platform which is provided by Facebook (Facebook Marketplace) is somewhat similar to eBay. But, they give you one added feature which is you can chat with the party with whom you are dealing over Messenger App. This chat function is also provided by OLX and other platforms but Facebook has the advantage that more than billion people already use Facebook so that makes Facebook Marketplace a better option for people to buy or sell things as you will get more options and more items.

A business can build a bond with their audience by winning their trust. But how can businesses do that? They can do this by having one on one conversation on Facebook Messenger. A business can sell their best products to the customers that are available on Facebook Marketplace, and if customers like the product than they would gain trust in the seller and it would help in increasing the business of the seller.

So let’s see what these things are-

  • There is no bidding system- like eBay. That makes the process not so transparent as you will not be able to adjust your price.
  • There is no specific section to provide feedback, which is also a kind of con of using Facebook Marketplace.
