Meta tries letting Facebook Marketplace users view eBay listings as way to resolve EU charges

Meta says it will allow some Facebook users to view eBay listings on its Marketplace service. It's trying out a possible way to resolve European Union charges of anticompetitive behavior. The social media company said Wednesday it’s launching a test that will let Facebook users in Germany, France and the U.S. browse eBay listings directly on its Marketplace online classifieds service but complete the transaction on eBay. Meta is carrying out the trial after Brussels slapped the company in November with a penalty of nearly 800 million euros for what it called “abusive practices” involving Marketplace. The company said that while it disagrees with and continues to appeal the EU's decision, it's “working quickly and constructively to build a solution which addresses the points raised.”
