Yaqeen vs Facebook Marketplace: what changes for you

Payment method

Yaqeen
Orders use Yaqeen's escrow process. Payment evidence and releases are reviewed manually; do not pay a seller outside the order flow. Yaqeen terms
Facebook Marketplace
Meta distinguishes eligible Facebook checkout purchases from direct person-to-person payments. Check which method is actually available for the item and location. [1]

Protection and refund limits

Yaqeen
The inspection window is 72 hours. Report issues through the order flow with evidence. Refunds depend on review and the published terms. Yaqeen terms
Facebook Marketplace
Meta says local pickup and person-to-person payments are outside its Purchase Protection. Eligible checkout purchases may have protection under its conditions. [1]

Evidence before paying

Yaqeen
Compare the actual unit's photos, condition and disclosed faults. Phone PTA and carrier-lock status are seller declarations; verify independently. Yaqeen terms
Facebook Marketplace
Meta recommends reviewing the product, seller and delivery arrangements and communicating on Facebook. A profile alone does not establish a device's condition. [1]

Total purchase cost

Yaqeen
Creating a listing is free. The buyer pays an escrow protection fee: Rs 400 below Rs 30,000, Rs 500 from Rs 30,000 to Rs 100,000, and Rs 1,000 above Rs 100,000. The fee is non-refundable once an order is placed. Yaqeen terms
Facebook Marketplace
Confirm the agreed item price, delivery cost and payment method before proceeding. This comparison does not assume checkout availability or a single fee schedule across countries. [1]

Which process fits your purchase?

Facebook Marketplace can suit discovery and arranging a local inspection. Consider Yaqeen when you find a suitable electronics listing and want its documented escrow review flow. Check delivery options, the total cost and dispute limits before either transaction.
