How to cross list (import) Mercari listings to Facebook
Crosslisting from Mercari to Facebook means putting the same item up for sale on both marketplaces, so more buyers see it. Done by hand, it means downloading photos and retyping every field. With OctoResell it takes three clicks, and you still check the listing before it goes live.
Moving listings the other way? See Facebook to Mercari.
Step by step
- Import from Mercari. Open your item on Mercari and click Import to OctoResell at the bottom right. It saves the photos, title, description, price, brand, size and condition in your browser.
- Send to Facebook. Press Facebook in the card that appears, or in the OctoResell popup. The Facebook listing form opens in a new tab.
- Check and post. OctoResell uploads the photos and fills the fields. Its checklist shows anything it could not fill, with a button that jumps to the field. Fix those, then press Facebook's own post button.
What carries over to Facebook
- Photos: full-size, up to 10 per listing.
- Title: Facebook titles are limited to 99 characters, so long Mercari titles are trimmed at a word boundary.
- Description: up to 5,000 characters, with brand, size, color and condition added on one line at the end.
- Price: copied as is, or raised or lowered by the percentage you set to cover Facebook's fees.
- Category and condition: picked from Facebook's dropdowns when a close match exists. If not, the checklist tells you to pick them.
Before you post on Facebook
Facebook Marketplace is tied to your personal Facebook account. It asks for your location and for local pickup or shipping, which depend on how you sell, so set them yourself after the fill. OctoResell opens the Facebook listing page for you to end it, but it does not detect sales made on Facebook.

What to check on this route
- Photos are cut. A Mercari listing can have up to 12 photos, and Facebook accepts 10. Only the first 10 are copied, so put your best photos first.
- Category and condition. The two marketplaces use different category trees and condition scales, so the checklist asks you to confirm them.
- Facebook sales are not detected. OctoResell cannot see a sale made on Facebook Marketplace, so end your other listings by hand when something sells there.

Questions
Can I import my Mercari listings to Facebook?
Yes. Facebook has no import button for Mercari listings, so you either retype each one or use a crosslisting tool. OctoResell imports the Mercari listing from its page and fills the Facebook form, one listing at a time.
Can I crosslist from Mercari to Facebook automatically?
Yes. OctoResell imports your Mercari listing and fills the Facebook listing form with photos, title, description, price, brand and size. You check the form and post it yourself.
How many photos can I copy from Mercari to Facebook?
Facebook accepts up to 10 photos per listing. OctoResell uploads full-size photos from Mercari up to that limit.
Will my Mercari title fit on Facebook?
Facebook titles are limited to 99 characters, so long Mercari titles are trimmed at a word boundary.
Can I sell the same item on Mercari and Facebook at once?
Yes, many resellers list one item on both. The risk is selling it twice, so take the other listing down as soon as one sells.
Does crosslisting to Facebook remove the Mercari listing when it sells?
It can. While your browser is open, OctoResell checks your linked listings every 15 minutes. When a sale is confirmed it removes the item from Poshmark, Mercari, Depop and Vinted for you, after asking first unless you turn on automatic removal. eBay, Etsy and Facebook listings open in one click so you can end them. Sales made on Facebook are not detected.
OctoResell does these steps for you. Free for 5 fills a day, or $15 a month for unlimited crosslisting. Cancel anytime.
