I'm happy they are introducing it, but IMO the execution has been quite poor. Some random complaints as someone who uses it:<p>They added a tab to the facebook app that you can't remove. It's inconveniently placed between two tabs that most people <i>do</i> care about (newsfeed and notifications). Furthermore, I randomly get a red number over the marketplace, similar to the number shown for notifications. This is very frustrating to me and it never seems to go away. I've mistaken this little notification bubble for a legitimate notification multiple times, when it was actually just a new post in the marketplace that I don't care about.<p>The 'newsfeed' of marketplace is littered with complete crap. 50+% of it is fake shoes, fake purses, used womens clothing, and people looking to trade their piece of garbage cars for another one (sorry, I don't want to trade for your civic that is worth <1k)<p>Selling something was a pretty poor experience for me. I got a ton of messages from people who had no interest in what I was selling, and instead spammed me like crazy with stuff I didn't care about at all. For me this was more excusable on a platform like craigslist because it is easy enough to filter email, but there is no real way to filter FB messages. Now I have personal messages and spammers mixed together.<p>Overall I'm happy to see this become a thing, but IMO execution has been poor. Well, annoying at the least, but I assume that is their goal. Much better than the terrible interface of the buy/sell groups, especially with how broken Facebooks group search is (I often can't find posts that were posted within the past month or so in a group. I'm searching correct terms, they just aren't indexed.)<p>I am part of a bunch of secondary beer market groups (raffles and straight up sales) on Facebook, and it's a pretty terrible platform, but it has the user base :(
