Members of Facebook’s For Sale groups now have better ways to buy and sell items, the company said today.
Facebook said that members of For Sale groups — which are designed to give people who want to find local buyers or sellers an alternative to Craigslist — can now choose a “sell” feature when they’re creating a new post. “You can add a description to what you’re selling, include a price and set a pick-up/delivery location.”

In that, this new feature seems a bit like a cross between Craigslist and eBay.
Facebook said the new features will be rolled out in the coming months to all For Sale groups across iOS, Android, and the Web.
