Social networking site Facebook is reportedly experimenting with a feature where Group members can post details about the items they intend to sell instead of the usual status updates.

According to The Verge, there are designated fields for an item title, location, description, photo, and asking price.

After the details are entered, Facebook then posts the sale in an interesting and easily readable format to help users locate it in the classifieds.

The social networking site's role is limited to making one's sale presentable.

Facebook says that it does not take any responsibility for purchases or sales made through the Groups pages, the report said.
