Facebook users who sell goods online can now reach more buyers by creating content that works well with the Marketplace tab. The key is to make posts clear and easy to understand. Start with a good photo. Use natural light and show the item from different angles. Blurry or dark pictures turn people away.

Write a short title that says exactly what you are selling. Avoid using too many words or fancy phrases. Buyers scan listings fast so get to the point. In the description, include important details like brand name size condition and price. Be honest about any flaws. This builds trust and stops unneeded questions.
Set a fair price based on what similar items cost in your area. You can check other listings to get an idea. If you are open to offers say so. This invites more messages and may lead to a quicker sale.
Pick the right category when you post. Putting a bike in the electronics section confuses buyers and hurts your visibility. Facebook uses this info to show your listing to the right people.
Respond fast to messages. Buyers often contact several sellers at once. A quick reply makes you stand out. Keep your tone friendly and helpful.
Update your listings often. Refreshing a post moves it up in search results. If something sells delete the post right away. This keeps your profile clean and reliable.

Use local pickup or meet in safe public places. Many buyers prefer to see the item before paying. Offer this option if you can. It helps close the deal faster.
