Answer:
As of January 30, 2023, Facebook no longer supports the ability for RV dealers to auto post their inventory to the Marketplace. View this article.
Why did Facebook stop allowing RV dealers the ability to auto post?
Because of money!
Facebook removed this ability to force auto and RV dealers to move over to their Automotive Inventory Ads (AID). Basically to force dealers to buy ads instead of posting on their marketplace for free.
While we still have this post on facebook marketplace auto posting for RV Dealers, we wanted to keep it, but share our link on the new avenue of marketing your dealership on Facebook.
Old Benefits of auto posting to FB marketplace:
For your RV dealership, you can post as many RVs as you want within the marketplace. They don’t limit the number of units that you can submit, which makes it a MUST HAVE for all RV dealers.
Facebook Marketplace Pricing
As of right now, Facebook Marketplace is free. Yep, you read that correctly, it’s free for everybody to post.
This is a huge advantage over Craigslist. As Craigslist charges dealers $5 / unit. I’m sure at some point Facebook will start charging, but they don’t to post.

Downfalls with Facebook marketplace:
- Because it’s free, you have to manage all of the inventory by hand. Which, can be a big pain. Especially updating pricing, text, images and removing the RV when it’s sold.
- Facebook doesn’t email you the leads or contact info. You receive the inquiry via Facebook chat. Then it’s up to you to get the contact info from the visitor.
- You don’t get traffic or analytics data (at least as of right now)
