FACEBOOK!

Just been speaking to my programmer and he was explaining that FaceBook are in the process of launching an ebay type online marketplace together with their own payment system.

They already have a market place so this is is the the next logical step.

An ebay killer?

Will have to see what happens, way to early to predict anything, but any company should be intersted even in the old ebays turnover, I know I would be.

I wasnt exspecting that! Altought it does make sense they have a very large user base and a lot of dedicated users. It would be intresting to see what way they would take it, the amazon route or what ebay used to be.

No listing fees, payment to your paypal account, and sales fees at 5%.....

Garage Sale is just another of millions of 3rd party apps and not what Facebook is launching.

Ok no problems, my mistake!

I wonder if this romour has anything to do with microsoft buying a 1.6% share for $240 million late last year so mark zuckerberg could persue new avenues for facebook?

No listing fees - great - but surely it's going to be over-saturated with zillions of the same items??

Im all for an alternative to Ebay. They are way to greedy.
