The whole point of FB Marketplace is local pickup — that's why nothing ships
Facebook Marketplace is, on paper, just a classifieds board with global reach. In practice, the seller economy is built around in-person pickup — strangers driving across town with cash to buy a used couch, a Peloton, a vintage Fender, a Polaroid camera. There is no shipping infrastructure. Most sellers won't ship even within the US, let alone overseas.
That's exactly the gap Selectido closes. You browse Facebook Marketplace from anywhere in the world, send us the listing, and we send a real US shopper to meet the seller. They inspect, test, FaceTime you for approval, pay the seller in cash or Venmo, and ship the item internationally to 60+ countries.
What people buy from FB Marketplace and forward internationally
- Used furniture — mid-century, vintage, IKEA-resale, designer pieces. Ocean freight makes furniture shippable at reasonable cost ($400–800 to most destinations).
- Cameras & photography gear — used Leica, vintage Hasselblad, Sony A7 series, lenses, lighting kits. FB Marketplace cameras are typically 30–50% cheaper than eBay.
- Musical instruments — vintage Fender/Gibson guitars, used amps, drum kits, synthesizers (Moog, Roland, ARP), pianos.
- Bikes & sports gear — used road/mountain bikes, ski equipment, golf clubs, kayaks. We check serial numbers vs. police databases.
- Used cars & motorcycles — full inspection + title transfer + ocean container/RoRo shipping for international vehicle imports.
- Vintage clothing & designer fashion — local-pickup Levi's denim, Patagonia, vintage band tees, archival designer.
- Power tools, kitchen, baby gear — used Vitamix, used Le Creuset, baby strollers, cribs (UPPAbaby, Nuna, Stokke at fraction of retail).
How it works
- Send us the listing. Paste the FB Marketplace link. Tell us your max price and any specific questions you want the shopper to ask.
- We negotiate via Messenger. Our shopper messages the seller on Facebook, confirms the item is still available, agrees on a meeting time and place.
- Live FaceTime inspection. Our shopper meets the seller, opens/tests the item on camera with you watching. You give the thumbs up.
- Pay + transport + pack. Cash, Venmo, or Zelle to the seller, transport back to our Minneapolis warehouse, photograph, pack for international shipping.
- Ships internationally. DHL/FedEx air for small items (3–10 days), or ocean freight for furniture/large items (4–6 weeks).

The questions everyone asks
Does Facebook Marketplace ship internationally?
Facebook Marketplace is primarily a local-pickup platform. There is no shipping infrastructure for most listings. Selectido bridges this — we send a US shopper to meet the seller, pick up, and ship internationally to 60+ countries.
How does Selectido buy from Facebook Marketplace?
Send us the FB Marketplace link. We negotiate via Messenger, send a US shopper to meet the seller, inspect live on FaceTime with you, pay, and ship.
How much does Selectido cost for an FB Marketplace pickup?
Local pickup is $75/hr (typically 1–2 hr) plus mileage at $0.65/mile beyond 20 miles from Minneapolis. International shipping is at our negotiated carrier rate + the $14.99 forwarding fee.
Can I see the item before you pay the seller?
Yes — live inspection on FaceTime or WhatsApp. Our shopper opens/tests the item on camera. You give the go-ahead before any money changes hands.
What about FB Marketplace furniture or large items?
Large items ship by ocean LCL freight. A used sofa to Dubai runs roughly $400–800, 4–6 weeks transit. Smaller bulky items ship by DHL or FedEx air.
Are FB Marketplace items safe to buy through a shopper?
Safer than buying yourself — our shopper inspects in-person before paying, checks serial numbers vs. police databases for high-value items, tests electronics under power, verifies titles.
What's popular on US FB Marketplace?
Used cars, used furniture, vintage and antique items, second-hand designer fashion, used cameras and electronics, musical instruments (guitars, vintage synths), tools, sports equipment, kitchenware, one-of-a-kind collectibles.
How long does the whole process take?
From link-sent to international tracking: 2–7 days for local pickup + 3–10 days international (or 4–6 weeks ocean freight for large items).
Can Selectido buy FB Marketplace cars or motorcycles?
Yes — inspect, negotiate, pay, transfer title, and ship by container or RoRo to most ports worldwide. Pricing custom per vehicle/destination.
Is there buyer protection?
Yes — because our shopper inspects before paying, there's effectively no "item not as described" risk. If you reject on the live inspection, we don't pay and you owe only the shopper hour ($75).
📍 Pro tip: FB Marketplace's best deals expire fast — popular listings get pulled within hours. The instant you spot something, send us the link. We message the seller in minutes to lock in the meet. You can sleep on it; we'll hold the conversation open.
