If you are a blogger or have friends who are bloggers, you are probably familiar with how tedious it is to clean your room and set up a nice space to film your #ootd looks or Youtube videos. Unless you live in a very sought-out space from the start, creating this space will ideally be on your #1 priority after realising you want to start your journey as a blogger.
Dubai is quite competitive with it’s #Influencer standards and sometimes setting that as a benchmark can become a goal in itself. Worry not – for starters who are new to this journey, or students who do not wish to splurge on expensive furnishing, Facebook Marketplace is the solution.
What does Facebook Marketplace do?
Facebook Marketplace is a digital marketplace where users can arrange to buy, sell and trade items with other people in their area. Think Facebook-meets-Gumtree. All transactions take place outside of the app, and are not considered in any legal sense to be Facebook’s responsibility.
Facebook Marketplace allows you to:
- Search for items to buy
- Browse for-sale items by category and/or location
- Create item listings. You can create the images for the item using a camera function within the app, or alternatively you can add photos from your device’s camera roll. Items are sorted according to location and category.
- View previous and current transactions and messages under a ‘Your Items’ section
- Set custom bids for items
- Message buyers/sellers to arrange transactions
- Facebook plays no role in facilitating or managing transactions – users are expected to work that part out between themselves.
Who can use Facebook Marketplace?
Facebook Marketplace is currently available to Android and iPhone users aged 18 and above. Anyone who falls in line with that description is free to buy, sell and trade items using Facebook Marketplace.
Facebook Marketplace Categories:
- Classifieds.
- Clothing & Accessories.
- Deals.
- Electronics.
- Entertainment.
- Family.
- Hobbies.
- Home & Garden.
- Housing.
- Vehicles.
- Shoppers can view certain categories, view all categories, or search for a particular product.
