Facebook Testing 'Local Market' Buying And Selling Feature
  • 8 years ago
Facebook is reportedly testing a new feature called "Local Market," which is essentially a location to buy and sell items and services, similar to Craigslist.
The feature, which is only in testing and is not being broadly distributed just yet, will allow users to buy and sell a variety of products, such as cars, clothing, furniture, books and so on.
Some users reported access to the app, and those who dug down deeper in the new section found areas to both "Buy" and "Sell," as well as ways to search the entire marketplace using particular keywords.
The section will also be populated largely by Facebook groups dedicated to buying and selling products, which is the reason that many of the categories had thousands of items on offer despite the section being completely new.
