Previously Facebook had said fees would be waived through June 2022 and before that it was December 2021, so this isn't the first time the deadline has been extended. So what's the story behind the continued waiving of fees? Is it a smart long game play to win sellers over from other marketplaces or a sign Facebook is struggling to find a foothold in the ecommerce market? Facebook has seen a number of commerce executive departures in recent months, including Eddie Garcia, who left his position as Head of Commerce to take over as Chief Product Officer at eBay. eBay Appoints Eddie Garcia As Next Chief Product Officer eBay has announced a replacement for Pete Thompson, naming Eddie Garcia as his successor.

Facebook Marketplace has also received mixed reviews on both the buying and selling experience with the most common complaint being lack of support and communication.

A rampant Facebook Marketplace scam uses fake Zelle emails to trick sellers into sending money A Facebook Marketplace scam involves people impersonating buyers and emails asking sellers to pay to upgrade to a business account on Zelle.

Now Scammers Are Using It to Target People Around the World. ProPublica identified thousands of Marketplace listings and profiles that broke the company’s rules, revealing how Facebook failed to safeguard users. My take: Not only does Facebook need to invest in commerce from a technical perspective, they absolutely must step up their game in terms of customer service and protection for both buyers and sellers. Waiving fees may be a good way to get sellers in the door, but if they don't like what they find once they step through that door, they won't stick around - especially if they face greater risks of fraud or if navigating the selling experience is cumbersome or buggy with no real support offered.
