🏺 Antiques & Collectibles
Vintage items, antique furniture, collectible electronics, and paper ephemera.
How do I categorize vintage items vs. true antiques on Facebook Marketplace?
+
On Facebook Marketplace, both vintage and antique items typically go under Antiques & Collectibles. Items over 100 years old are considered antiques, while vintage usually means 20-100 years old. However, Facebook Marketplace doesn't require this distinction for categorization—focus on the item type (furniture, appliances, electronics) and use the appropriate subcategory like Antique & Collectible Furniture or Antique & Collectible Appliances.
Where should I list collectible action figures or vintage toys?
+
Collectible toys on Facebook Marketplace should go under Toys & Games → Action Figures or the appropriate toy subcategory, not Antiques & Collectibles. Reserve Antiques & Collectibles for items with historical significance or documented age. Choose based on whether you're marketing to toy collectors (Toys & Games) or antique dealers.
Should vintage maps, postcards, or paper ephemera go under Antiques?
+
Yes, paper collectibles on Facebook Marketplace belong under Antiques & Collectibles → Paper Ephemera. This includes vintage maps, postcards, stamps, old advertisements, and documents. This category helps collectors find authentic paper goods rather than having them mixed with general home decor.
How do I list vintage furniture—as Furniture or Antiques?
+
List vintage or antique furniture under Antiques & Collectibles → Antique & Collectible Furniture on Facebook Marketplace, then choose the specific furniture type (Chairs, Desks, Dressers, etc.). Unlike modern furniture, antique pieces appeal to collectors who specifically browse the Antiques category, giving you better visibility to your target market.
Can I list reproduction or replica antiques in this category?
+
Reproductions should generally not be listed under Antiques & Collectibles on Facebook Marketplace unless you clearly state they're replicas in both the title and description. Consider whether the Home & Kitchen → Home Decor or Furniture category might be more appropriate for replica items to avoid misleading collectors looking for authentic pieces.
Where do antique electronics like vintage radios and cameras go?
+
Antique electronics on Facebook Marketplace belong under Antiques & Collectibles → Antique & Collectible Electronics, with specific subcategories for Radios, Cameras, Phonographs & Gramophones, and Slide & Film Projectors. Don't list them under modern Electronics—collectors browse the Antiques section for these items.
