HI. I was wondering if anyone had a store selling cabs on facebook, and whether or not it is worth the effort and tying up the cabs that get listed. Thanks!

would it tie up the cabs? No reason you couldn't just say they were sold or not available if you were to move them on another way? Or do you have to pay a percentage to Facebook if you do that? Why not just make an open to the public facebook page and post the cabs you make as you make them? I follow several members of this forum who do that.

I don't follow stores. I did just visit a few. They seem to be 3rd party (e.g., shopify.com) that provides an app to give a facebook page a store functionality. It is not clear how closely this is tied to fb or whether they will want to own it in the future by introducing their own app. It does seem to work best when a Product/Service page is created, and there is a outside world company website.
There are lapidary sales groups, where you could try more informal sales (i.e., no e-commerce system to process everything). The decision might hinge on volume.
I think you would have to decide which site is primary if cross-listing. On the secondary sites, it would state "inquire" or "purchase subject to stock confirmation" because it is cross-listed. I would remove an item from the fb store before selling elsewhere, not after. Or, eventually there will be a problem.
Just some Tue morning opinions.

facebook does not charge you anything to sell with a fan/business page. Don't use your personal page to sell on as they can and will block you if they choose
