Advice For Selling On Facebook Marketplace??

Discussion in 'Lounge' started by The Royal Maharaja, Oct 18, 2025 at 4:19 PM.

  1. I have a few highish value parts that I need to get rid of...and I know that the best way to hit the market for these parts is via facebook marketplace or specific facebook Ducati groups...unfortunately. It will probably be a sale at distance, maybe international.

    In the past I have always used seller/purchaser sites ebay, gumtree, leboncoin (FR) where there is a certain protection in the transaction, but I am usually the purchaser.

    Does anyone have any good advice? - I thought Paypal obviously, but I'm concerned that the buyer can just state faulty goods etc, and I believe paypal normally sides with the buyer?

    Thoughts?
    Cheers.

  4. As you have bought on eBay, any reason why you don't want to sell on there?

  5. I've only bought from FB marketplace but I would add successfully and with PayPal.

    However I have listed my sales items on FB marketplace, but only as a link to my eBay auction which is already "Live". I've often seen a boost in views on eBay so I think it works as a promo...
