Facebook May Soon Allow You to Sell Items in Groups

Facebook is now testing a "Sell Something" button that will allow people to make an official post about the goods they're selling as easy as writing something or asking a question.

Only selected users have seen the new feature. The button will allow people to add item information including description and price. People can also attach a picture and leave pickup and delivery options.

Even without this official button, people these days use Facebook Groups to advertise goods. Facebook made this feature to better organize posts about items they'dlike to sell.

Though it would be easier for seller and buyer to communicate, Facebook doesn't hold the actual transaction within the site. It also doesn't offer payment methods.

According to the Facebook Help page, the site isn't "responsible for things sold in a Facebook Group." It also included reminders for buyers to contact the sellers directly when making purchases.

The site had undergone many changes in content and layout. Each adjustment got positive and negative reviews from users, which now stands at 850 million.

These changes include the creation of timeline, news feed content, easier connection with Instagram and post search. More changes are still yet to come.

Recently, news broke that CEO Mark Zuckerberg is "considering" a dislike button that users may use to express empathy or surprise.

Facebook was launched in 2004. Since then, more and more changes have been made to allow users to express more. Now, users may officially post about their business and easily share it in groups.
