How to create a Facebook listing on Facebook marketplace?


/ March 20, 2026

Before you choose to listen item on Facebook marketplace here are a few things you should take into consideration, when you list something on Facebook marketplace anyone on Facebook will be able to see and access your personal Facebook profile. even if you don’t allow messages from anyone who isn’t friends with you on Facebook anyone on Facebook will be able to message you about the item that you are selling. Technically when someone sends you a message it really isn’t a message but more of a group discussion. You can access this group discussion or message either through messenger or through Facebook. If you open the message the person who sent the message will be able to see that you read the message.

After a transaction has been completed both parties will be able to leave feedback.

Log into Facebook if you’re not logged into Facebook.

When you are signed into Facebook click on the storefront icon

If you haven’t been to Facebook marketplace it may show you random items that you may or may not necessarily be interested in, if you happen to Facebook marketplace then the results may be showing you stuff that you may be more interested in.

You should see a button that says “ + create new listing”, click on that.
