Should I pay to boost listings on Facebook Marketplace?
Facebook Marketplace paid boosting (via Facebook Ads) can accelerate sales for high-value or slow-moving items. Budget AU$3–10 per day for a 3–5 day campaign on an item priced over $100. Target: people interested in the item category within 50km. The organic reach of Facebook Marketplace is already strong for local items — boosting is most useful for items with a niche audience that doesn't browse that suburb regularly. Track your ad spend against final sale price to assess ROI.
