Fixing Trust on Facebook Marketplace
Facebook Marketplace is the world's garage sale, but it is plagued by scammers and time-wasters. Sellers are wary of handing out bank details to strangers, and buyers are wary of sending money to random accounts. The "Is this still available?" conversation often stalls when money needs to change hands.
A Professional Layer for Informal Selling
Paycilo professionalizes Facebook selling. Instead of typing your Sort Code and Account Number into Messenger (where it can be lost or copy-pasted incorrectly), you send a Paycilo Link. This link displays your Verified Name and Account Details in a secure, read-only format.
Use Cases for Communities
- Group Admins: Collecting vendor fees or advertising fees for your Facebook Group? Pin your Paycilo link in the "Featured" posts. It provides a central, transparent way for members to pay.
- Live Selling: For boutiques that do "Facebook Live" sales, managing payments is chaotic. Use Paycilo as your checkout. Viewers can pay instantly via Bank Transfer, and you can confirm receipt in real-time.
- Marketplace Safety: Sharing a Paycilo link allows you to keep your personal banking profile private. You reveal only what is necessary to receive funds, protecting yourself from identity theft.
Zero Fees for Sellers
Unlike Facebook Pay or PayPal which may charge transaction fees or hold funds, Paycilo is a direct P2P directory. The buyer transfers from their bank to yours. You receive 100% of the sale price, instantly.
