Selling (car parts) on Facebook

[jiminwatford]

I hear Facebook is a good place to sell things

I sell used car parts on ebay and that works well but if Facebook is worth dealing with i should give it a go

I have spent the last ten years actively avoiding Facebook so i am not up to speed on what can be done

Do i have to find a group? Or do i just list things under my name

I tried to access the Market place on the mobile but it said i was blocked

Any (simple) tips on where to start?

This is my business so i would like to end up with a solid, reliable platform for selling

Car club or group pages are a good starting point but some do have rules about selling and some get funny when a newbie appears just to sell parts despite the facts its actually helping them keep cars going.
As for Marketplace I find that can be really hit and miss and I find you get a lot of messers and stupid questions, you need to have a FB account to sell.

You can also Set up you own FB business page and advertise on club or group pages, again some don't like people just joining to advertise their business but some are cool with it and will help spread the good word.

Tbh it's probably not worth the hassle trying to business sell parts on Facebook. I've sold a couple of cars in specialist groups, more through conversation/replying to wanted posts rather than for sale posts, but pretty much no parts at all, they all end up going via eBay.

It's great for buying though, loads of barely literate plebs selling things for curse word all as they're desparate for money, but won't pay fees to sell on eBay where stuff goes for twice as much. You could literally make a business buying off Facebook groups and reselling on eBay.
