I wonder what effect the marketplace will have on black market biryani.
Marketplace has been around since 2007, I'm surprised it's taken this long to "introduce": http://newsroom.fb.com/news/2008/12/facebook-chooses-oodle-t...
The social proof that FB allow for, make it possible to sell to people you don't know much more securely.
It was one of those things that the community itself developed and FB just turned it into a service.
I was considering getting into this space a few years back but realized that FB would eventually catch up.
Still is room for non-fb competitors but their social proof card is hard to beat IMO.
Possibly a stupid question, but is there a way to access this without installing the app? I can't find any way to access it through a browser.
Facebook's come under a lot of heat for refusing to moderate the buying and selling of firearms in Groups, often in violation of local laws[1]. Hopefully their moderation standards will be higher on Marketplace. [1]: https://medium.com/@monteiro/this-article-first-appeared-in-...
Working towards requiring registration/background checks of private sales would actually accomplish what they want. Lobbying Facebook to disassociate themselves from the sales will accomplish little more than moving the sales off of Facebook.

Usually, when a software evolve trying to do everything, at the end it does do nothing well. Let's see what'll happen here.

I'm part of a local Facebook community for trading and selling board games. You basically meet in a parking lot during the day and make the trade/purchase, and it's pretty hard to fake the components/packaging of a board game. Possible missing components is the biggest worry, since they're not likely to wait around as you count each component. Also a lot of these people can be vouched for since someone tends to have…
I think they would do better by allowing groups to convert their group into a marketplace and add marketplace features to groups.
