The timing of funds disbursement from Facebook Marketplace to a seller depends on several factors. These include the processing time of the payment method used by the buyer, any holds placed on the funds by Facebook, and the seller’s chosen payout method. Typically, sellers can expect to receive payment within 15-20 days of marking an item as shipped or 5-10 days after the buyer confirms receipt. Delays may occur if the transaction is flagged for review by Facebook’s security systems, or if there are issues with the seller’s bank account or payment information.
Understanding the payment timeline is crucial for sellers as it impacts their cash flow and financial planning. A predictable and reliable payment process enhances seller trust and encourages continued participation in the Marketplace. Historically, marketplaces have faced challenges in balancing payment security with timely payouts, and Facebook Marketplace’s current system reflects an effort to strike this balance while minimizing risks for both buyers and sellers. Accurate tracking of sales and shipment confirmation are essential for ensuring prompt payment processing.
