Facebook Launches Marketplace to Let Users Buy and Sell Items

It's like a cross between Craigslist and eBay

Facebook is launching its own online venue for users to buy and sell things across their social networks.

Today, the company announced the launch of Marketplace, a destination for people to find—and make offers for—items directly through Facebook's mobile app. A button for Marketplace will replace the Messenger icon in the bottom center of the app.

Anyone who's spent time in a Facebook neighborhood group page has likely seen a post from a friend or stranger asking if someone wants to buy this or wants to sell that.
