Facebook has launched Market Place, a new way for users to discover, buy and sell items with other people in their area. In the coming days users in the US, UK, Australia and New Zealand who are over 18 years old will see a new shop icon in the bottom menu of the Facebook app. This will load a selection of photos of items that people in your general location are looking to sell. It also includes a search function, if you're looking for something in particular. Results can be filtered by location, category or price as well. If you see something that you like, Facebook will list the name and details of that product, a profile photo of the person selling it and a loose overview of where they live. Seems interesting that Facebook of all company wants to compete with the likes of eBay and Craigslist. We'll just have to see how this pans out for the company. Thoughts ?
