According to Facebook Director of Public Policy Africa Kojo Boakye, Increasing the availability of Marketplace to 37 more countries and territories in Sub-Saharan Africa reinforces their ongoing commitment to helping connect communities and support buying and selling through one simple online destination. According to statistics for Facebook has a good vibe and has proven to be beneficial for people in several ways.

“As the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to impact people and businesses, the expansion of Marketplace will provide more people with a convenient destination where they can discover new products, shop for things they want, or find buyers for the things they want to sell.”

Discovering things on Facebook Marketplace is simple. To get there, people can look for the Marketplace icon in the Facebook app or visit https://bit.ly/3Dn4Uz8. They will be able to browse listings that interest them and filter them by distance or category. They can also use the search box to find exactly what they are looking for.

Listing an item for sale is just as easy as browsing for one on Marketplace. Sellers can share a photo of an item, enter a product name, description and price, confirm their location and select a category. They can also choose to post their listings to Facebook Buy and Sell Groups.

Interested buyers will find the item they are looking for and message the sellers directly through Messenger. They can decide on the payment method depending on their own preferences.
