2020年12月18日 · If you go to the Marketplace area in the [Android] Facebook app, then scroll down to "Newly Listed", select "View all", then at the top select the drop-down and change to just Local, that is the best source I've found recently for recent listings that are actually local, but you still see some sponsored ads you have to scroll past.

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..

2022年1月13日 · The facebook lite app on android is currently a pretty decent workaround for this, at least as far as significantly reducing shipped listings...they still stretch the radius you define quite a bit..

Facebook is a company that makes money on advertising and data collection, not on helping normal people.

2022年5月24日 · Having the same problem as everyone else, Facebook is probably up to shenanigans. However I found a workaround! 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. You can then update the category after it posts and everything is fine.

2022年8月4日 · I believe Facebook has specifically engineered the filters to give the illusion of control while showing you listings that are completely outside of your terms. I go to the local section, filter my location for “Custom radius” which actually says “Only show me listings within a specific distance.” I have it set to 10 miles.

2021年8月7日 · A place to discuss tactics and success stories of buying things for a low price and selling them for a higher one.

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.

2021年4月25日 · For shipping, I shipped 25 items on Friday, 20 yesterday and so far I’m at 30 today. By tomorrow afternoon I should have about 100 packages to drop off the post office solely from Marketplace. What this means that I recommend using Marketplace for shipping only.
