Good Marketplace listings use clear photos from several angles, an accurate price and mileage, the VIN and a plain description of condition. Reply quickly and take cars down when they sell. If you use a tool to fill in listings, post from your own account, keep content accurate and follow Meta's commerce policies.
The listing itself
- Photos: exterior from four corners, interior, dashboard with mileage, engine bay, wheels and any damage. Daylight, clean background.
- Title: year, make, model, trim.
- Price: the real price; avoid placeholders.
- Description: condition, ownership and service history if you know it, key features and how to book a viewing.
- Location: where the car is.
After you post
- Answer messages quickly.
- Mark vehicles sold or remove them so buyers are not misled.
- Do not post the same car repeatedly; duplicate listings can be restricted.
Automation and rules
Meta's policies govern what you may list and how. A tool that fills in the form for you saves typing; it does not change those rules. The Dealer Garage extension posts from your own signed-in account. See Marketplace posting.
A pre-post checklist
- At least eight clear photos including the odometer.
- VIN, price and mileage correct.
- A description in your own words.
- Contact details and hours.
- No duplicate of a listing already live.
