Facebook launches Marketplace feature in Singapore

Users will be allowed to cross post products in buy and sell groups using their Facebook accounts.

Singapore now has access to Facebook's Marketplace feature, joining 47 countries where the app is available.

According to a press release, Marketplace is a single place on Facebook for discovering, buying, and selling goods locally.

Through the app, users can post products for sale directly or cross post from a buy and sell group.

Whilst searching for a product, a built-in location tool can be used to adjust the region they’re looking in, or switch to a different city altogether.

Users can send the seller a direct message if they're interested to make an offer for the product.

However, Facebook does not facilitate the payment or delivery of items in Marketplace.

Facebook director of product management Karandeep Anand said, "People can feel good about buying and selling on Marketplace because it’s easy to view the public profiles of buyers and sellers, your mutual friends, and how long they’ve been on Facebook.”

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
