Struggling to sell items on Facebook Marketplace

You’ve decluttered and decided to sell a lot of your items locally, however you are struggling on Facebook Marketplace. I looked into improving listing.

The "Today's Picks" section on Facebook Marketplace is curated by an algorithm, and there is no direct way to submit your item for inclusion. However, you can increase the chances of your listing being selected by making it high-quality and appealing to both the algorithm and potential buyers.

Here are some tips to improve your listings and potentially get them featured:

• High-Quality Photos: Use clear, well-lit, and attractive photos. Take multiple pictures from different angles, and make sure the item is the main focus. Avoid blurry photos, and show the item's imperfections if any.

• Detailed and Accurate Descriptions: Write a comprehensive description that includes all relevant details, such as the item's condition, dimensions, materials, and a brief backstory if you have one.

• Accurate Categorization and Tags: Place your item in the most relevant category and use appropriate tags to help the algorithm and users find your listing.

• Competitive Pricing: Price your item realistically and competitively. An item that is priced well for its condition and type is more likely to be seen as a good deal and get more views and engagement.

• Respond Quickly to Inquiries: The algorithm values listings that receive a lot of engagement. Responding promptly to messages from potential buyers can signal to the algorithm that your listing is active and desirable.

• Sell Popular Items: The "Today's Picks" section often features popular, trending, or in-demand items. Listings for these types of goods are more likely to be selected.

Ultimately, a listing that is well-presented, accurate, and receives good engagement has a higher chance of being featured in the "Today's Picks" section of Facebook Marketplace.
