2022年9月19日 · Perhaps FBM figures you don’t need for an item to be a local listing when the seller is willing to shop. However, a buyer might feel better dealing only with local sellers regardless. My problem is that it defaults to all marketplace instead of local; it wasn’t always like that. I have to click Local Only each time.

fbm will only let you search a few options at once. you either get newest listed, or local, you want local listings that got listed within the hour or day tops. doing what facebook wants you to do also includes ship items which are trash for sourcing that is..

Simply uncheck (de-select) Marketplace, and select the locals you want that appear in the list below. (I’m not sure whether the order, uncheck-check or check-uncheck, matters).

2024年5月12日 · EDIT: NEW thread here! I built a tool which lets you search the Facebook Marketplace across all the US (now also Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Australia, India, United Kingdom, France and Spain) by searching the least amount of cities using a 500 kilometers radius to cover the whole country.

When you select the category they almost all say "Shipping available" which is the problem. If you select "Miscellaneous" it forces it to local sale only.
