TechMediaBreaks – Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ: META) Opens Facebook Marketplace to Rival Classified Ad Providers

Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) announced that it will allow competing classified ad service providers to list their ads on Facebook Marketplace. This move comes three months after the company was fined €797 million by the European Commission for giving its own service an unfair advantage. The new initiative, called the Facebook Marketplace Partner Program, enables third-party online classified ad service providers to display their consumer-to-consumer inventory alongside other third-party and Facebook user listings. Meta has already tested this program in Germany, France, and the United States with eBay.

As of February 13, 2025, Meta’s stock is trading at $723.52, down $1.86 (0.26%) from the previous close.
