Every factual claim these guides make about Facebook Marketplace is either sourced or comes from our own testing, on a stated date and a stated app version. Screenshots are taken on a real phone, kept with the session details behind them, and re-checked quarterly.

Where something could not be measured, it was left out rather than estimated. That is why the guides say less than they could — a number nobody counted is not worth printing.

We are a competitor writing about a competitor, so claims about anyone’s intentions stay off the page entirely. What is left is what can be shown. Read the guides.
