Facebook Marketplace Must add the option to add Tags back to our listings
The Issue
Any frequent seller on Facebook Marketplace can testify that up until recently we could add up to 20 #tags to our listings. Which is how we were able to target potential buyers, and it worked wonderfully.
Now this is no longer possible, instead there is only the option to add a SKU. Since Facebook removed this option i have not made a single sale, many other sellers have experienced the same.
It appears that facebook is attempting to FORCE us to sell nationwide using their shipping option as the listings are preset to sell nationwide, requiring us to manually change every listing to local only. Also when a buyer searches for an item, the filters are preset to nationwide, and even after changing the filter to local only it reverts back to nationwide everytime the search button is clicked.
I understand Facebook is a buisness, and is trying to compete with Ebay & Amazon. However the way they are attempting this is manipulative, Greedy, and is being done at the local sellers expense.
All we are asking for is to add tags back to marketplace so we can continue to use your service. I used to make half of my living selling locally, now i cant sell a single thing due to Facebooks decision to press us into shipping thus allowing them to process payments padding their pockets with the fees.
Please sign this petition, we need tags to keep food on the table
