Can I List on Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist at Once?
Yes. List free on Commonplace and choose optional promotion, and your item is promoted on Google, Facebook and Craigslist, with inquiries routed back to Commonplace. Ari Kimmelfeld on Shape the System.
Watch the episode: Ari Kimmelfeld - Commonplace, Shape the System with Vincent Turner, aired October 16, 2026. Listen on Shape the System.
Short answer: Yes, without managing each one yourself. List your item free on Commonplace and choose the optional promotion service. The price is shown before you pay. Commonplace features your item and promotes it on Google, Facebook and Craigslist. Inquiries come back to your Commonplace listing, so you do not field messages, meet strangers, or chase payment.
Ari Kimmelfeld explained how it works on Shape the System with Vincent Turner.
What Ari said
We also have a really cool feature where you can kind of offload the part-time job of managing secondhand marketplaces to us. And so when you list something on Commonplace, you have an option to promote your listing on all the other marketplaces. So I'm talking about Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, Google Shopping...

And we manage all of these listings. So whenever there is an inquiry, it goes back to the Commonplace listing.

If somebody is selling something, they get to skip all of that, and they don't have to meet up with strangers.

No more "is it still available?"
Vincent called it the worst message on any marketplace. On Commonplace, a buyer reserves the item instead of asking:
On Commonplace, it's literally $1 to reserve any product... And once you reserve it for $1, nobody else can buy it. So that's a signal that you're a serious buyer.

How selling works
- List it free. Upload photos and set your price with built-in pricing suggestions.
- Choose promotion, or skip it. Promotion is optional. Without it, Commonplace still works to sell your item.
- A buyer reserves it for $1. Nobody else can buy it while it is held.
- The buyer approves the inspection. A 30 to 50 point inspection happens before pickup.
- Get paid at pickup. A Commonplace crew picks it up and you are paid by Venmo, PayPal, Cash App, or bank. Sellers pay a 20% platform fee plus a pickup fee. The pickup fee depends on the item and is shown before you list and on your listing confirmation. Nothing else is deducted.
Moving before it sells? Store to Sell picks it up, photographs it, and keeps it listed. Worried about scams? Read how to sell big items without meeting strangers. For the full conversation, read Why Marketplace Fails: Ari Kimmelfeld on Shape the System.
