Meta test will bring eBay listings to Facebook Marketplace


Meta is appealing an $821 million fine for antitrust violations through Marketplace.

A test will launch in the US, France and Germany, allowing users to browse eBay offerings on Marketplace. The European Commission charged Meta with violating antitrust regulations as " Meta tied its online classified ads service Facebook Marketplace to its personal social network Facebook and imposed unfair trading conditions on other online classified ads service providers," Margrethe Vestager, then European Commission's executive vice-president in charge of competition policy, said at the time. "While we disagree with and continue to appeal the European Commission’s decision on Facebook Marketplace, we are working quickly and constructively to build a solution which addresses the points raised," Meta stated in its announcement.
