On the left side of the Home screen, click the ‘Marketplace’ option, which is located under the ‘Explore’ tab. This will open the Marketplace page, divided into sections – ‘For Sale,’ ‘Housing,’ and ‘Cars & Vehicles.’
The ‘For Sale’ section is the main page for buying and selling items. Here you’ll find various items for sale, including furniture, electronics, clothing, and more. You can narrow your search using the filters on the left side of the page. You can filter by location, category, and price range.
The ‘Housing’ section is the perfect place to start if you’re looking for a place to live. Here you’ll find various rental and purchase options, from apartments and houses to vacation homes. You can filter the listings by location, type, price, and more.
The ‘Cars & Vehicles’ section is the perfect place to find your next car, truck, or vehicle. You can search for cars by make, model, year, and more. You can filter the listings by location, price, and other criteria.
Once you’ve found an item you’d like to buy or sell, you can view the seller’s profile and contact them directly through Facebook Messenger. You can also chat with the seller in real-time to ask questions or negotiate a price.
When ready to complete the transaction, you can pay for the item through Facebook Pay. This secure payment system allows you to make certain payments directly from your debit or credit card.
The Facebook Marketplace is an easy and secure way to buy and sell items online. Its intuitive interface and powerful filter options make it easy to find what you’re looking for. You can find the perfect item and secure payment with a few clicks.
Understanding the Sorting Options on Facebook Marketplace
When shopping on Facebook Marketplace, you may notice various sorting options.
This can help you narrow your search and find what you’re looking for quickly. Understanding how to use these sorting options can make your Marketplace shopping experience much more efficient.
The sorting options on Facebook Marketplace allow you to sort items by price, location, and condition. You can also filter articles by item type or category. Let’s take a closer look at each of these sorting options.
Price: When sorting items by price, you can choose to display items in ascending or descending order. This allows you to compare prices and find the best deal quickly.
Location: If you’re looking for something local, you can sort items by the seller’s site. This can be especially helpful if you’re looking for something you need to pick up in person.
Condition: If you’re looking for a specific state of an item (e.g., new, used, or refurbished), you can use the condition sorting option to narrow your search.
Item Type/Category: If you’re looking for something specific, you can use the item type or category sorting option to narrow your search.
This can help you quickly find what you’re looking for without scrolling through pages of irrelevant listings.

I never thought I'd miss craigslist but Facebook marketplace has more or less completely taken over as the ubiquitous local trading post and it's fucking awful.
This is what happens when you search "Les Paul" on marketplace and sort by distance. It's not just the results but the whole experience. If you type something into the price fields and hit enter to apply it unselects the other sorting methods you put into place. It's utterly maddening and I can't help but feel it's on purpose and belongs on r/assholedesign

Yeah it's rough. No amount of good deals is worth drudging through what it tries to put at you first and foremost.

Step 1) Don't care about your customers
Step 2) Never invest money or time in improving it because you know that it will be used anyway despite the fact that it is utter shite.
Step 3) There is no step three.

Facebook's entire UI is terrible but marketplace might be the worst part.

LoL. The guitar market on FB Marketplace has turned into a complete joke since COVID. I only look at it to laugh these days. You can find much better deals these days on Guitar Center’s used section.

Seems like a problem with their NLP. I haven't used it in a while but I feel like Facebook's serach functionality across the whole site has always been pretty bad.
Ths option deselecting is just such an obvious design flaw that must be a glitch.
No excuse for either considering how long the company's existed and the profits it makes.

Try typing anything in millions in their price range field and see a decimal place disappear

It's useless.
Join a buy & sell group instead and you'll find what you want.

Yeah. That drives me nuts too. I'll search for something, dozens of hits show up. I sort by distance to see what's closest, and most of them vanish

This might be a bit off topic, but the one time I tried to sell something on Facebook Marketplace, I got nothing but the cheapest, low-ball offers or spam messages wanting me to send money to an obvious scam.
I’m in France, so maybe it’s different elsewhere. I only sell on Le Bon Coin… the French version of Craigslist.

I've used it a few times to buy/sell successfully, but it's true that it's search/layout are awful.
You really have to dig for what your looking for

I hate having to maintain my FB account just to sell my items locally. Marketplace sucks. Shame hardly anyone uses Craigslist in my city

The amount of ads and scammy "shipping" stuff sucks.
I've only tried buying a shipped item once and it got cancelled after 2 weeks.

Worst part is when you accidentally click on something and it spam you with tons of similar listing. Or people posting something is free when it is not.

It doesn't matter to Facebook, like the majority of the things they do. When it comes to the bottom line only a small amount of their services matter and everything else is just along for the ride.

I was with you until that last bit. Guitar Center peeps must be fucking allergic to cameras with more than 1 megapixel.
And you can't convince me it's not 100% asshole design. It's not shitty design, it's asshole design. It's this way on purpose. Entirely to shunt people into shipping or buying things that are shipped. OR things that are boosted.

It's created and maintained by Facebook, so obviously it will be barely functional at absolute best, and an unusable dumpster fire at the worst.

Yeah but if you call the store they are usually very good about sending you more detailed pics and info. I’ve also gotten crazy deals from misidentified gear cuz their reps are often clueless.
I’ve had some luck with FB marketplace but yeah the UI is shit. The bigger headache is all the tire kickers out there. And lots of folks tend to prefer trades - “I’ll trade my Gibson for an ATV or an assault rifle”

I wish they made Marketplace it's own app instead of tied to the actual FB app.
It's awful on mobile as well. It's the only reason I have a FB account, to buy/sell stuff.
I prefer OfferUp as an app and use it mainly, but get alot more hits (especially with selling) with Marketplace.

Yeah a lot of the “secondary” functions of Facebook are half baked at best. Jobs is a mess of a greater magnitude

Facebook Marketplace search is so bad.
Its awful for searching for cars because there's like no filtering unlike Craigslist. Problem is more people are using Marketplace. Its annoying I can't filter out all the cars that are automatic and instead have to waste my time clicking on all of them.

lol, so true. Why are the guitar center pictures for used guitars so terrible? Either way, Reverb is still the best option IMO for used guitars.

Are you in a non supported country? If not you’re probably banned. Source: I built a lot of marketplace, including this message, a few years ago.

Community guideline violations count too - almost certainly what it is 🤷🏻

It's intentional.
They try to get a profile on your interests by throwing up random shit they hope you'll click on and buy while looking for different stuff. Then they can start targeting you with more specific results and therefore try to control your consuming habits. It's always all about control.
Sorting data using custom lists

With built-in custom lists, you can sort data by day of the week or month of the year. If you wish, you can create your own custom sort lists for any other criteria that are difficult to sort alphabetically (for example, high, medium, and low, or S, M, L, XL).
Custom lists allow you to sort sheet data by delivery month or priority .

Note: Each column should have a heading for best results.
-
On the ribbon, select Data > Sort .

In the drop-down list Order , select Custom List .
In the Lists dialog box, select the desired list and click the OK button to sort the sheet.
Create your own custom list
To create your own custom sort list, follow these steps:
-
In a sheet column, enter the values by which you want to sort. Arrange them in the desired order that determines the sort order (from the top cell to the bottom). For example:
-
Select all cells in this list and select File > Options > Advanced .
-
Scroll down to section General and click Edit Lists ...
-
In window Lists click on the button Import .
Tip: A short list that contains the values High, Medium, and Low might be easier to type directly into the List Items box of the Lists window.
