How to buy on the Facebook Marketplace
To purchase something:
- Go to the shop area of the website or use the app on your mobile device.
- Use the search bar to look up specific things or browse the local items for sale by category or region.
- You can narrow down the presented goods by tapping the “Filter” icon and choosing the categories, locations, and price ranges you want to see.

You can schedule a meeting with the seller to conclude the deal when you and the seller have reached a pricing agreement. To ensure your safety, meet in a public area and have cash or the form of payment that you and the vendor have agreed upon.
The buyer and seller must agree on a payment method and finish the transaction themselves because Facebook does not handle the payment process for transactions through the Marketplace.
