‘Facebook adds Craigslist-like features for buying and selling’ – ‘Mashable’

Rex Santus says, “Facebook has started rolling out new ways for people to buy and sell things on the platform.

As an alternative to services like Craigslist or eBay, Facebook users sometimes turn to Facebook Groups to make purchases. Previously, however, this was mostly done informally.

Facebook users can now select a “sell” button instead of “post” when writing up a listing. Individual slots can also be filled out to specify price and product descriptions, instead of the typical single body of text you’re used to when writing a Facebook post. Sellers can also mark the listing as either “avaiable” or “sold” after it has been posted”.
