Facebook has spent the last several years revolutionizing the way people come into contact with one another. The site has a new addition that is allowing people to contact each other in another new way. Business Insider is reporting that Facebook Marketplace has many sellers already selling some odd things. This news has many people looking into the uses for the new addition to Facebook.
Facebook Marketplace is in its early stages, but has much potential to be a very effective extension for the company. The extension, however, is not available to everyone right now. While all of the issues are being worked out, the selling site is only available to a small percentage of Facebook users in some countries, including the US, UK, and Australia.
Facebook Marketplace is being called the sites equivalent to Craigslist. While the site was created for people who intend to sell things practically and legally (like Craigslist) some are already using the website’s addition for other things. Business Insider is also reporting that people are already using the site to sell weed, adult services, animals, and even more.
People are very concerned on how the site is going to combat the odd and illegal usage of the sitBusinessess Insider is also stating that Facebook is claiming they will be using their employees as they do on their website to filter and monitor unethical and illegal usages of the website. The company is hoping that this will be enough to control the unauthorized sales.
Facebook has been able to sustain its popularity while expanding what it offers to users. As the new addition continues to develop, one can only hope that they will able to be used safely and ethically. Users can only watch and hope that the expansion will go well in the near future.
