Etsy and Facebook Marketplace
Sell on Etsy and Facebook Marketplace without selling twice
Etsy's buyers look for vintage by era and style and pay to have it shipped; Facebook's are down the street and come to pick it up. The same mid-century chair or set of Pyrex can go to either. VendorSnap lists it on both from one photo.
Why list on both
Etsy reaches collectors across the country, and takes resold items only when they are at least 20 years old, so it rewards true vintage. Facebook Marketplace reaches buyers nearby, with no fee on a local sale paid in person, which suits pieces too big or too fragile to ship. Listing on both lets the right buyer find it first, wherever they are.
How VendorSnap keeps them in step
- List on Etsy in one tap through Etsy's API, with the right "when made" and one of your shop's shipping profiles.
- List on Facebook Marketplace from the phone app. Facebook Marketplace has no listing API, so VendorSnap lists there from the phone app through your own Facebook sign-in, and once you record the sale, your phone marks the Facebook listing sold for you.
- Sold to a local buyer? Mark it sold as Facebook Marketplace, and the Etsy listing ends in seconds.
- Sold on Etsy? Mark it sold as Etsy, and your phone marks the Facebook listing sold.
Fees
Etsy charges $0.20 to list, 6.5% of the item and shipping, and 3% plus $0.25 to process the payment: $6.15 on a $50 item with $10 shipping, before any Offsite Ads. Facebook takes nothing on local pickup paid in person and $6.00 on the same sale shipped. The Etsy fee calculator and the Facebook Marketplace fee calculator show your exact payout.

Questions and answers
What if the item is not vintage?
Etsy takes resold items only when they are at least 20 years old, so VendorSnap holds a newer resale item back from Etsy before it is listed. Facebook Marketplace takes it, and so do eBay, Vinted, Depop and Poshmark.
Can I offer local pickup on the Facebook listing and shipping on Etsy?
Yes. Each listing keeps its own delivery: your Etsy shipping profile on Etsy, and local pickup or shipping, as you choose, on Facebook Marketplace.
