Facebook has started rolling out a new service called "MARKETPLACE" which allows users to buy and sell things in their local community.

Arriving first in the U.S., U.K., Australia, and New Zealand, with more countries coming soon.

So basically marketplace is where you can search for things that people are selling nearby or you can list what you want to sell directly from the app.

According to Facebook Director of Product Management, Mary Ku,

“Facebook is where people connect, and in recent years more people have been using Facebook to connect in another way: buying and selling with each other… To help people make more of these connections, today we’re introducing Marketplace, a convenient destination to discover, buy and sell items with people in your community. Marketplace makes it easy to find new things you’ll love, and find a new home for the things you’re ready to part with. We’ll continue to build new options and features to make this the best experience for people.”

Marketplace is available through Facebook on Android and iOS, Marketplace is accessible through the little shop icon at the bottom of the app. you can also search by keyword or category.

Also Facebook is not involved in payment transactions, so payment can be done in cash or any other alternative digital payment system (Paypal e.t.c).
