facebook is going allow you to sell your unwanted items
Now, Facebook users can sell products and consumers can buy goods directly from the users profile page. Buyers won’t ever have to leave the page to complete their purchase and payment transaction. Garage Sale consumers no longer need to pay listing charges associated with online auction sites, and they can take advantage of significantly lower individual transaction fees.
Current Facebook users can add the Garage Sale widget to their pages from Facebook’s application suite. Users then upload necessary product information, including photos and begin selling on their profile pages using Garage Sale’s secure transaction capability. Right now, the Garage Sale application is only available to Facebook users, however, Buy.com plans to expand the service to users on other social networks in the near future.
To help Garage Sale users promote product sales, Buy.com is adding a special tab which will provide a complete marketplace for independent sellers to utilize Buy.com’s shopping marketplace and product platform.
The Garage Sale platform is based on patent-pending, embedded, e-commerce technology that Buy.com acquired earlier this year from Shoperion Inc. Buy.com also will use the Shoperion technology to enhance Buy.com�s advertising on third-party sites with the addition of checkout functionality incorporated directly within the advertisement.
