I did because I thought there might be an app that could search Facebook marketplace better.
I don't think this is it.
The first 10 products listed we're all marijuana!
eeek!

I put a lot of things on facebook marketplace, I didn't know there is a separate app, I've googled it but am none the wiser - is it worth changing to it, what are the differences to listing via facebook itself?

I'm usually quite sucessful at getting rid of unwanted things but would change if there's a better way

@Sunnydayshereatlast
What does he sell?
Is it actually linked to the real Facebook marketplace?
I got scared and thought I was on the dark web and uninstalled it

Recently he has sold unused blinds /shoes /lampshades /anything any of us didn't want anymore. It really is true one man's trash is another man's treasure!
I sold a brand new iron for what I paid for it - dd sold a desk and chair for £50!!

I didn't mean selling on the Facebook marketplace which is fine.
I meant the facebook marketplace app which you can download from the app store and is something you have to pay for, ie
This is not owned by Facebook, I would assume, as it looks very dodgy.

Actually it's just called Marketplace not Facebook marketplace.

Thanks I was looking for a facebook marketplace app on the google play store and couldn't find it, I though maybe it was iphone only but I think you're now saying it's nothing to do with facebook, is that right?

If so I'd steer well clear.

Yes, @lifesalongsong, it seems to be a separate entity piggy backing on the gullibility of people like me! There is a subscription charge but you get access to lots of drugs if that's your thing.
