As a frequent user of Facebook Marketplace, I've experienced firsthand the frustration that comes with the "Hello, is this still available?" auto-populated message on all ads. This feature has become more of an annoyance than a convenience. We often click it accidentally when browsing, leading to unnecessary interactions and confusion.

Facebook Marketplace was designed to facilitate easy and efficient buying and selling within communities. However, this auto-response feature seems to detract from its purpose by causing miscommunication between buyers and sellers. According to Statista (2020), there are approximately 800 million global users of Facebook Marketplace. Imagine how many unwanted messages are sent daily due to this single button!

We believe that removing this feature will enhance user experience by reducing unwanted messages and promoting more genuine communication between buyers and sellers.

We call upon Facebook Inc., as one of the world's leading tech companies with over 2.8 billion monthly active users (Statista, 2021), to listen to its users' feedback seriously for continuous improvement in their services.

Join us in urging Facebook Inc., specifically their marketplace team, to remove the “Hello, is this still available?” auto populated message from all ads on their platform! Sign our petition today!
