What is the name of Facebook's peer-to-peer marketplace feature?

Facebook’s peer-to-peer marketplace feature is called Facebook Marketplace. It lets people list, discover, and negotiate purchases for items through Facebook, often with buyers and sellers in the same local area.

The modern Marketplace launched in October 2016 in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. Its arrival reflected the growth of Facebook “buy and sell” Groups, where communities were already using posts to trade furniture, electronics, vehicles, clothing, and other goods.

Marketplace is frequently compared with Craigslist and eBay, but those names are competitors or analogies, not Facebook’s product name. Amazon is another marketplace platform, especially associated with retail inventory, whereas Facebook Marketplace originally emphasized person-to-person local listings and communication through Facebook.

Facebook had an earlier classified-ad feature called Marketplace in 2007, covering categories such as sales, housing, and jobs. That version was eventually shut down in 2014. The modern service revived the name with a prominent tab in Facebook’s mobile app and later expanded to include businesses and broader commercial activity.
