Pengguna bisa memilih lokasi dan langsung mencari kategori barang yang diinginkan seperti baju, perlengkapan rumah, elektronik dll. Lalu penjual dan pembeli bisa mengirimkan pesan satu sama lain, membuat dan menerima penawaran harga, serta menampilkan waktu pengiriman, kapan barang akan segera dikirim.

Tapi untuk saat ini Facebook belum memberikan fitur pembayaran atau pengiriman di marketplace. Dan saat ini marketplace masih baru akan dirilis di 4 negara dulu yaitu, U.S., U.K, Australia dan New Zealand, untuk Android dan iOS. Lalu Facebook akan segera merilis marketplace di negara lainnya selama beberapa bulan kedepan. Untuk versi desktop dari marketplace juga sedang dibangun. Nah untuk di Indonesia sendiri belum ada bocoran nih kapan marketplace akan diluncurkan. Kita tunggu saja ya, tentu ini akan membuat bisnis online di Indonesia akan semakin menarik.
