### 4/5 — Works good, but still has issues

*2026-08-23*

Found two issues. I’m trying to sell a vehicle. It would not let me scroll and select the date 1997.  The other issue I have seen is the messaging does not seem to be syncing with messenger. I got notifications of messages, but they were not showing up. Open messenger app and could read them there.

### 3/5 — A few improvements needed

*2026-08-22*

The sound when someone messages is weak compared to messenger and so I have missed messages. I went back to using FB messenger to talk to customers.   Facebook Marketplace also remembers the groups I post to so I don’t have to manually put in each group each time I post an item. Seller does not remember. The dark mode is harder to see drop down boxes.

### 3/5 — Great competitor to eBay - few changes will bring a 4/5

*2026-08-21*

Large viewer base, sold a rug first week for full asking price. Easy service, allows a week for shipping. The payouts can take a while. So definitely not for making a dollar when needed for a bill next week. But great for supplemental income or a reseller side hustle. Will continue to cross list here. Only issue I find is occasional scammers (Venmo scams) and people wanting to pay on a 3rd party site other than utilizing the in system Facebook payment services. 3:5 for the first week.

### 4/5 — Initial review of FB Seller App

*2026-08-13*

Definitely like having a separate seller app, easier to manage messages & listings. Still needs some work though in multiple areas. The most crucial I’ve experienced though no way to go back in a few spots so I have to force quit the app & redo whatever I was working on. Not sure if it’s a glitch or what the exact issue is, but I’ve experienced it multiple times & haven’t used the app that much. Overall I appreciate having it though & feel it’s a useful & beneficial tool. Thank you!

### 4/5 — Need some tweets

*2026-08-11*

Everything runs fairly smoothly. Easy to interact with customers. But nobody is able to give me a review. Tried everything on my end and best I can figure it’s something to do with the app.
Also, if you could layoff taking down my collectible coins. I understand my love so currency, but no one is using a 90% silver Morgan dollar to buy a soda.

### 3/5 — Please make access for 2 accounts

*2026-08-10*

What would make this app. better was for the people that have two Facebook accounts for marketplace where you could have them both open at the same time. Other than that, still trying to get familiar with the app.

### 4/5 — Needs to be better but happy it’s here

*2026-08-02*

I am so glad they finally made this app but it needs a lot more improvement. It’s not straightforward, it’s confusing the messages are nowhere to be found it’s only under notifications. It’s hard to navigate the app but hopefully it will get better soon because this was much needed.

### 5/5 — Highly recommend this buyer

*2026-08-02*

Amazing experience showed up on time and great communication. Thank you again.

### 5/5 — Intuitive!

*2026-08-01*

As a long time FB marketplace user, I really appreciate not having to go through FB the app to sell. It’s still a little glitchy and some things I think  can be better ironed out but solid for its first launch.

### 5/5 — Thinking of the Seller

*2026-07-31*

Thanks FB! Doing something eBay hasn’t done in years- thinking of us.  I know I’m not the only one who is tired of it.  You’re not there yet- but eBay finally has a fight on their hands- get serious about commercial selling, always remember us, and TAKE IT ALL! Do that- you take us.

### 3/5 — Has some kinks to work out

*2026-07-31*

Similar feel to FBMP. The data is helpful. Would like a way to see the metrics on all of the items. Can’t share FB business page links. Couldn’t mark who I sold to and rate the buyer at the end. Went back to messenger. Kept getting logged out of the app throughout the day.

### 5/5 — It’s about time!

*2026-07-31*

I’m loving it! It’s super easy to use. It’s nice seeing all of my listings in their own place and being able to communicate with people through it instead of having to use messenger AND going through the Facebook app for Marketplace, is a huge time saver!

### 5/5 — Tennis

*2026-07-30, version 1.1.3*

Amazing buyer

### 5/5 — Very good app!

*2026-07-30*

I hated having to go to Facebook to check my listings because I always get distracted by my feed. And there are so many buttons to get to each page. But, this app fixes all those issues and so far I have had no problems, sold several things, and have been very satisfied with it.

### 1/5 — There’s no need for a separate app for marketplace

*2026-08-20*

It is far superior to have marketplace on one app. Secondly, it has created issues where the sell button disappears from marketplace on the facebook app. The sell button should be left there so those who don’t want to waste time hopping between apps still have the option to use the same app we have for years selling. It also glitches and since I have downloaded seller I can’t post my listings in groups now. It’s really odd but also damaging to my business. If I could go back to about two or three updates ago and undo my facebook update, I would absolutely do it. Also, I shouldn’t have to select a location for where I’m selling the product. I only want to give the location when I’m good and ready to.

### 1/5 — Bugs and Glitches

*2026-08-19*

I use Facebook marketplace quite frequently for my job. Often times I have 30 to 40 active listings. When this app became available, I downloaded it, hoping that it would make the process more efficient, but it surely did not. It does a good job of tracking your insights and letting you know what changes to make on your posts, but it comes up short when it comes to translating data changes from this app to Facebook itself in the marketplace shortcut. I tried to update the prices of all of my listings and as soon as I did that, all of the pictures from my listings were removed. That is time and potential sales that I have now lost. I also stopped receiving push notifications on the Facebook messenger app specifically for marketplace inquiries. When I tried to delete the Seller app, I was getting no notifications whatsoever for marketplace and I had dozens of missed messages for people that were interested in my listings. Hopefully Meta can update this and fix these glitches as they’re trying to promote this as a way for business owners and active marketplace sellers to maintain efficiency, but it has costed me hours and potentially thousands of dollars due to these issues.

### 1/5 — Critical Bug: Seller Breaks Messenger Push Notifications

*2026-08-19*

Installing Seller caused my Messenger push notifications to stop working I have encountered a serious notification issue after installing and signing in to Seller. Before installing Seller, my Messenger notifications worked normally. After installing Seller, Facebook Marketplace messages started being delivered to Seller with notifications, but Messenger push notifications completely stopped working. Even after I deleted Seller, the problem with Messenger did not go away: Messenger still receives messages normally; However, there are no lock-screen notifications, banners, sounds, or notification badges; The messages only appear after I manually open Messenger, at which point all previously received messages suddenly load. I have already checked and confirmed that my iPhone notification permissions, cellular data access, Background App Refresh, and other relevant settings are all enabled and working correctly. I also deleted Messenger, restarted my iPhone, and reinstalled Messenger, but the problem remains. Notifications from other apps work normally. This strongly suggests that there may be a notification conflict between Seller and Messenger, or that Seller changes the push notification routing associated with the Meta/Facebook account and does not properly restore Messenger notifications after Seller is removed. Please investigate this issue as soon as possible. Seller should not interfere with normal Messenger notifications, and deleting Seller should not leave Messenger unable to receive push notifications.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t let you send a reply like you can if you use messenger to communicate

*2026-08-05*

When I saw that there was an app for marketplace listings you manage and what not, I thought I’d give it a try.

The problem with this app is that once you install it and login, you no longer get notifications going to messenger which means that when you get a notification about something you’re selling and it comes through this app, you can see part of if not the whole message, but it does not give you the ability to reply from the notification from your notification center like you can with Messenger.

I deleted the app thinking that it would fix the problem, but what ended up happening is I would still receive messages, but I would not be getting pushed notifications from messenger. I’m having trouble finding a way to fix and getting it to revert back as if I never installed and logged into this app because I’m wanting to be able to conveniently reply quickly to message inquiries when it comes to something I’m selling or what not. I wish I could call or easily contact Facebook Support or Meta support, but Support is either nonexistent or it’s a lot of hoops to go through or it’s not clear how to contact Facebook or medical support and it’s very frustrating.

I wish restoring settings and the things the way they were so that marketplace message push notifications would continue to come through messenger.

Do not download this app if you sell things on Facebook marketplace and want to be able to reply to your messages quickly and conveniently directly through a push notification without having to open the app to reply.

Please add the ability to reply to push notification messages like how you can on messenger.

I would be happy to update this review if that ends up happening.

### 1/5 — Notifications

*2026-08-04*

App literally does not send me notifications 25% of the time. My ratings have tanked cause I’ve missed two people at the door. I’ve literally never had this happen with any other app. Like seriously how is this a problem, how can you guys drop the bar so hard. And don’t tell me it’s my phone or Facebook settings, it’s not. I’ve done the research and done all the checks, and everything points to you guys developing a bad app.

### 1/5 — Create a Marketplace App

*2026-08-02*

Seriously, Meta. This app is nice but Marketplace is about buying just as it is about selling. You need to create an app that is just solely Marketplace. We shouldn’t have to use the Facebook app and be subjected to all the congestion and annoyances of Facebook (reels, ads, suggested accounts, etc) just to get to the Marketplace (but I realize you guys want us to be low-functioning, social media addicted zombies, so you most likely have intended it to be this way).

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-07-28, version 1.1.2*

App doesn’t work it just always says sorry something went wrong now my marketplace isn’t working either

### 1/5 — Can't search for items

*2026-07-28, version 1.1.2*

I am disappointed that you cannot search for items on this app. It's just for managing items you're selling. I got rid of Facebook to manage a screen addiction but was hoping they would do a separate marketplace app for buying and selling, not just selling

### 1/5 — Glitchy Login

*2026-07-27, version 1.1.1*

Not able to login properly. Kicks me out. Needs to be fixed before launching

### 1/5 — Redundant

*2026-07-27, version 1.1.1*

What a wasted opportunity to just make ONE app for ALL of marketplace. Buyers and sellers. Most people only have Facebook to use marketplace these days.

### 5/5 — Good but…

*2026-08-23*

Happy to see a separate work space for Facebook marketplace but, I cannot communicate effectively when I can’t even read the message from a buyer with the automated responses popping up. Fix that bug please! I can’t easily make them go away so I have to switch back to Messenger to reply. I’ve accidentally hit the wrong message several times and it’s so frustrating!!!

### 5/5 — Great and convenient

*2026-08-18*

This app is a game changer. Fantastic to use. It makes the selling process so much better. I recommend checking the price it suggests to ensure in aligns with what you think  and know. Sometimes it is perfect but other times it seemed a little low. But this would be true regardless of what any app would tell you otherwise I would say it has been perfect for me by making it very fast to post. Thanks

### 5/5 — Great Concept, Rough Execution

*2026-08-15*

I appreciate the idea of separating the seller’s platform, but the app still glitches. Sometimes the back button doesn’t work at all, and you have to force close the app just to continue. Solid concept, but the navigation issues need fixing.”

### 5/5 — Much better than facebook

*2026-08-09*

So glad they made this app you no longer have to navigate through the distracting and annoying Facebook app to get to selling your items.

### 5/5 — Easier messaging

*2026-08-05*

Instead of having a ton of messages all throughout your messenger, now you just click on the item and it gives you all the messages from everyone. It’s a lot easier to use this way listing items is about the same although it would be better if they would remember the groups that you posted to like it does on the Facebook app but besides that I’m enjoying that.

### 5/5 — Long awaited!

*2026-08-04*

A few things I think could be added! 

 1. Be able to see the clicks per listing on the page where all the listings appear. That way you can see what items are doing the best 

2. A way to easily lower the price on the list view of all items. That way you can lower each item easily

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2026-08-04*

Well thought out so far no kinks. So much more convenient than bouncing around in Facebook trying to answer multiple questions at once.

### 5/5 — Thank goodness

*2026-08-03*

I’ve waited soooo long for a marketplace app cuz I hate Facebook but sell a lot of stuff! It’s easy to use, the only thing is I wish you could search for other items, it’s basically just a selling app, not for buying.

### 5/5 — Much better experience then Facebook

*2026-08-02*

Works great. Still lots of bugs and missing things like quantities of items.

### 5/5 — Awesome sale!

*2026-08-02*

We come to this event every year! They always have great items and they’re very reasonably priced. We’ll be back again next year!
