It’s frequently said that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. However, in the case of selling used items, it can sometimes be the opposite – one man’s treasure can seem like trash to others. From duct tape shoes to quadruplet peanut and sauce packets, the things we want to sell don’t always appear buy-worthy to others. 

Below, the Bored Panda team gathered some of the most ridiculous items people tried selling on Facebook Marketplace. Scroll down to discover them below, but be warned that some of them might be impossible to unsee.

Expecting that people will try to sell all kinds of items, Facebook thought about it in advance and has put in place some guidelines on what can’t be listed on their marketplace. The first one is quite self-explanatory – non-physical items. 

“For example, ‘in search of’ posts, lost and found posts, jokes and news aren’t allowed,” Facebook explains. Similarly, services like house cleaning also aren’t allowed on Facebook Marketplace.

Other items that shouldn’t be sold on there entail animals or their products. “This includes posting about animals for adoption, except by vetted pet adoption matching services,” Facebook writes. Healthcare products like thermometers or first aid kits are out of the question as well – for everyone’s safety, of course.

What Facebook additionally doesn’t want to see on their Marketplace are any recalled products. Companies usually recall their goods because of defects that can pose or have safety risks for customers. “If you’re unsure whether the item you’re buying or selling has been recalled, look on the website of the item’s manufacturer or relevant government entity. For example, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission or the EU Rapid Alert System for Dangerous Non-Food Products,” they recommend.

Lastly, even though Facebook doesn’t mention it in their guidelines, you also can’t sell tobacco products, alcohol, drugs, sex toys, pirated software, and weapons on the marketplace. If someone violates these rules, their listing can be rejected or removed. In frequently reoccurring instances, the person could also get their access to Facebook (or all Meta-owned websites) terminated.

So, to ensure that your decluttering session or side hustle doesn’t get you removed from Facebook, it’s better to avoid listing all the previously mentioned items for sale. If you’re looking to earn some extra money in particular, it’s better to sell items that usually do well on Facebook Marketplace. According to Amasty.com, one of the best-performing things on there is furniture. These are great items to sell on Marketplace because they’re essential to every home, and when people want to redecorate, they often choose to do it at an affordable price.

Electronics also sell great because new ones can be very expensive, while gently used items can be much more affordable. The same goes for bicycles and sports equipment. They sell quickly as more and more people are looking into buying fitness equipment without the prices of a new one.

Other great item categories include clothing and shoes, home decor, toys, games, and books. The key is to sell items that are clean and in good condition. These things are in constant demand, so you can’t go wrong with putting any of these belongings for sale on Facebook Marketplace

For sellers to receive even more sale opportunities, we’ll leave you with the advice of Willow Wright, owner of a unique vintage shop, Urban Redeux, on how to be successful on Facebook Marketplace: “Start with quality images and clear descriptions. Be realistic with your asking price and be ready to consider lower offers—negotiation is part of the game. Also, temper your expectations. Facebook Marketplace has become a major player in the reselling world, so there’s a lot of competition, especially in bigger cities.”
