Meta to test eBay listings on Facebook Marketplace

Investing.com -- Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META ) announced on Wednesday that it will conduct a trial in Germany, France, and the U.S. to allow some users to browse eBay (NASDAQ:EBAY ) listings on its Facebook Marketplace platform.

This move comes following a ruling by the European Union that the link between Meta's classified-ads service and its main social network was undermining competition.

The trial will allow users to view eBay listings on Facebook Marketplace, with transactions being completed on eBay.

Meta suggests that this could be advantageous for users on both platforms. eBay sellers could gain more visibility among Facebook users, while those using Marketplace could have access to a wider range of listings from eBay.
