Facebook Marketplace Posting β€” Your Questions Answered.

Everything business owners ask before working with us on Facebook Marketplace β€” including the big one: no, we don’t touch your personal Facebook account.

Getting Started

What exactly does your Facebook Marketplace posting service do?

We manually create, post, and manage your listings on Facebook Marketplace. That includes writing platform-optimized copy, guiding your photo selection, placing each listing in the right category, posting at effective times, and refreshing listings to keep them visible. You get the leads; we handle the work.

How do I get started?

Reach out through our contact form or give us a call. We’ll have a short conversation about what you sell, your target markets, and your goals β€” then post a few free sample listings so you can see the quality before paying anything.

Do you really offer free sample posts?

Yes. Before you commit to anything, we post a few sample listings for your business so you can judge the copy quality, the format, and the kind of responses they generate. No credit card required to start.

How quickly can you start posting?

Most clients have their first listings live within 48 hours of the initial conversation. Once we understand your business and inventory, we move quickly.

Your Facebook Account & Safety

Will you use my personal Facebook account?

No. We don’t ask for or post from your personal Facebook account. Protecting your personal profile is a priority. We’ll discuss the safest posting setup for your specific situation during onboarding, structured to keep your accounts protected.

Could my account get banned or suspended?

Facebook can suspend accounts for policy violations, which is exactly why how you post matters so much. Because we post manually and follow Marketplace’s commerce policies β€” rather than using banned automation tools or spammy tactics β€” we minimize that risk. We also monitor for warning signs and adjust strategy to keep accounts in good standing.

Do you use bots or automation software?

Never. Facebook aggressively detects and bans automated posting. Everything we do is manual, by real people. This is the single biggest difference between a service that keeps your listings live and one that gets your account flagged.

Do I need a Facebook Business Page?

It depends on your situation and what you’re selling. For some businesses a Business Page or Marketplace shop setup makes sense; for others a different approach works better. We’ll advise on the right setup for your goals during onboarding β€” there’s no one-size answer.

How It Works

Who writes the listings β€” me or you?

We can write them for you, or work from copy you provide β€” your choice. Most clients have us write the listings because platform-optimized copy is a big part of what makes Marketplace listings convert. Either way, you approve the approach before we post.

Who handles the photos?

You provide the product photos, and we guide you on which to use and in what order. On Marketplace, the cover photo largely decides whether a listing gets clicked, so we help you choose images that stop the scroll. We don’t take photos for you, but our guidance often doubles click-through on its own.

Who responds to buyer messages on Messenger?

That’s something we set up with you based on your preference. Some clients prefer to handle buyer conversations themselves since they know their inventory and pricing best; others want help with initial responses. Fast Messenger replies directly affect how Facebook ranks your listings, so we’ll help you set up a system that keeps response times low.

How many listings will you post?

That’s based on your plan and inventory. Whether you have 10 items or several hundred, we scope a posting volume and cadence that fits β€” and tune it to stay effective without triggering Facebook’s spam systems.

Can you post in multiple cities?

Yes. For businesses serving multiple markets, we coordinate posting so each city sees locally-relevant listings rather than identical duplicates, which Facebook flags. Marketplace is somewhat less city-locked than Craigslist, but local relevance still matters and we handle it.

Do you provide reports on what was posted?

Yes. You receive regular reports showing exactly what was posted, where, and when β€” so you always know what you’re paying for.

Results & Expectations

How is Facebook Marketplace different from Craigslist?

Marketplace is photo-first, algorithm-driven, and tied to real profiles, with buyers contacting you via Messenger β€” it’s strong for physical products and younger consumers. Craigslist is text-first, search-by-city, and anonymous β€” strong for services and B2B. Many businesses use both. We break this down fully in our guide on Craigslist vs Facebook Marketplace.

What kind of results can I expect?

Results vary by industry, pricing, location, and product. We can’t promise a specific number of leads β€” anyone who does is guessing. What we can promise is consistent, well-written, properly-placed listings that stay live, which is what generates inquiries over time. The free sample posts let you see real response quality before committing.

What types of businesses do you work with on Marketplace?

Furniture flippers, appliance and electronics resellers, vintage and antique dealers, used car dealers, real estate and rentals, local retailers, and many more. If you sell physical products or property to local buyers, Marketplace is likely a fit. See our dedicated pages for real estate, used cars, and local business.

Why do my listings keep disappearing when I post myself?

Usually one of a few reasons: duplicate listings posted too quickly, wrong category placement, copy that trips Marketplace’s automated filters, photos flagged as reused, or posting patterns that look automated. Manual, varied, correctly-categorized posting is what keeps listings live β€” and that’s exactly what we do.

Pricing & Commitment

How much does it cost?

Pricing is scoped to your volume, number of cities, and whether we write your copy. We don’t use rigid one-size packages because needs vary so widely. See our pricing page for how it works, or request a quote β€” there are no setup fees and no obligation.

Is there a long-term contract?

No. Everything is month-to-month. You can scale up, scale down, or pause whenever you need.

What if a listing gets removed?

If a listing is removed shortly after posting, we repost it at no extra charge. Our focus is on listings that stay live and generate inquiries, not raw post counts.

Are you a real, U.S.-based company?

Yes. We’re a small team based in Raleigh, North Carolina β€” a real registered business with a real address and phone number, not an anonymous overseas operation. You can reach us directly anytime at (469) 300-1286.
