Facebook is trying something new. Some users now see a “Shop” section on their personal profile pages. This is a test. Only a small group of people have this feature right now. Facebook wants to see if people like it. The social media company announced this test recently.

The Shop tab appears near other parts of the profile. You might see it next to “Photos” or “Friends.” This tab lets people list items they want to sell. It works like a mini-online store directly on a person’s Facebook page. Users can add pictures and descriptions of their items. They can set prices too. Potential buyers can browse these items right there.
Facebook thinks this could help people who sell things casually. This includes people selling homemade crafts or used furniture. It makes selling easier for them. They don’t need a separate business page. They can use their personal profile. Friends and followers can see their items immediately. This might help them sell faster. The Shop section also links to Facebook’s payment system. This allows secure transactions without leaving the app.

This test is part of Facebook’s bigger plan. They want to make buying and selling easier inside Facebook. They already have Facebook Marketplace. They also have shops for businesses. This personal Shop feature is different. It focuses on individual sellers using their personal accounts. Feedback from this test will guide Facebook’s next steps. They might change the feature. They might expand it. They might stop it altogether. The company will decide based on how users react.
