Meta, the owner of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, announced that it is working to limit the ability of commercial account holders to list their products on the Facebook Market, which means that commercial agents will face difficulties in the future when trying to publish a car. Or used property for sale.
Meta stated, “From January 30, 2023, Meta will no longer support the ability of sellers to create listings for vehicles and properties using the Facebook Business Page (..) and free personal listings for vehicle and real estate listings will remain available on the Facebook Marketplace (..) We are simply changing how we View future inventory.
Meta takes this step back, to reduce the misleading dealer lists that confuse buyers on the sale platforms, and if you’ve ever been shopping for a used car online, you’ve likely come across people offering $1 for the car in an attempt to get your attention.
“Facebook wants with this step to limit the fake price lists to the store, to facilitate the task of the buyer, so that he has the most serious and easy market.”
To achieve this, “Facebook will impose strict rules on commercial agents, and will adopt a human review mechanism to permanently filter listings.”
To that back door, which “will prompt some commercial agents to stream to the public through free lists of personal accounts, especially since Facebook did not mind commercial agencies using personal pages to display their products.”
We don’t believe that listings of personal accounts are a good door to fraud, because “personal advertising loses the business’s credibility to the public and the buyer, and therefore it will be more inclined to these agents approved by Facebook because it is for it to be safer and more serious.”
An important dimension of Meta’s new step is the company’s desire to increase its income from advertising, as it is believed that this purification process will limit the ability of commercial agents to display their products without the need to purchase ads from Facebook.
“Facebook” believes that “commercial agents use its service to achieve profits, it is necessary for them to share a percentage of those profits, unlike personal accounts, whose offers for sale will be limited to personal products.”
This does no harm to Facebook, because “the ultimate goal of technology companies is to make profits, as social media provides their services for free to users in exchange for selling their data to advertisers.”
“Facebook Store” or “Facebook Market”, is one of the tools that enable “Facebook” users to buy and sell products, and it represents a solution for every user who has something and wants to sell it, but on the other hand it is like a solution for everyone who wants to enter the world of e-commerce completely free Many commercial agents have succeeded in achieving thousands of sales and tens of thousands of profits.
Recently, the profit from “Facebook” has spread through the market for selling products, especially with the stoppage of labor markets in conjunction with the solutions of the Corona pandemic and then the Russian-Ukrainian war, where the recession that hit the global economy and labor markets met with a boom in e-commerce.
“Facebook” was among the most important markets that many individuals accepted to purchase their various personal needs, and it became a guaranteed market for success in promoting various products and bringing more profits to commercial agents.
