Facebook Is Testing ‘Sell Something’ Button On Select groups:Report

Facebook is testing a new feature which will allow users to sell goods when posting to a group, according to a report on The Next Web.

The report stated that when some users have noted a ‘Sell Something’ right next to the ‘Write Post’ button when they are trying to post something on a group. After you click on the ‘Sell button’ you can add a title, description, image, price, location and pick up/delivery options.”
Once the post is shared, others can post their comments and ask questions about its availability and details. The website also states that it is not responsible for any action and the buyer and seller will have to negotiate and arrange delivery on their own.
Facebook sent out an official statement to The Next Web  confirming that it was testing the feature and that “this is a small test limited to select Facebook Groups that have active selling communities today.”
Facebook had launched the Groups app for Android and iOS last month. The Groups feature lets users create and interact with communities on the site, whether they’re based on hobbies, geography or culture.
Previously, Facebook had introduced ‘Gifts’ on the site which allowed users to send their friends based in US certain actual gifts, but that wasn’t a big success. Now, they are hoping users will take to selling/buying goods on the site, via this new button, although this is still in beta mode.
Of course, Facebook will need to get regulatory approval in most countries where it operates, if it plans a full roll out of the button.
