Posting to Marketplace
Prepare Facebook Marketplace listings from selected Dealerspot inventory.
Use Marketplace posting when a vehicle is ready to be listed on Facebook Marketplace. The extension opens Facebook Marketplace and fills the listing form with data from Dealerspot.
Requirements
Before posting to Marketplace, confirm:
- You are signed in to Dealerspot in Chrome.
- Your dealership has an active subscription.
- The extension addon is enabled.
- The vehicle has the required Marketplace fields.
- You can sign in to Facebook Marketplace in the same browser.
Vehicle import can work without the addon, but Facebook Marketplace posting requires the extension addon.
Post a Vehicle
- Open the Dealerspot extension.
- Select the vehicle or vehicles you want to post.
- Click Post to Marketplace.
- Confirm the action.
- Review the Facebook Marketplace tab that opens.
If you select multiple vehicles, the extension opens a tab for each vehicle.
Facebook may require you to sign in before the form can be filled. If that happens, sign in to Facebook and start the posting action again.
Required Fields
Before the extension can post a vehicle, the inventory record must have the fields Facebook Marketplace needs.
Required fields include:
- Year
- Make
- Model
- Price
- Mileage
- Body style
- Fuel type
- Transmission
- Description or title
If a selected vehicle is missing required data, the extension shows the missing fields before posting. Update the vehicle in Dealerspot, then try again.
Posting Mode
The extension supports two Facebook Marketplace posting modes:
| Mode | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Draft | Saves posts as drafts on Facebook Marketplace for review before publish |
| Published | Publishes posts immediately to Facebook Marketplace when Facebook allows |
To change posting mode:
- Open the Dealerspot extension.
- Go to Settings.
- Under Facebook Marketplace, choose Draft or Published.
Use Draft when your team wants a final review of photos, pricing, and listing copy inside Facebook before anything goes live.
Review Before Publishing
Before a Marketplace listing goes live, verify:
- Photos are correct and ordered well
- Price matches the intended public price
- Mileage and vehicle specifications are accurate
- Description reads naturally for buyers
- Pickup location and seller details are correct in Facebook
Facebook Marketplace controls the final listing experience. Review the Facebook page before publishing or leaving the listing as ready.
