<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>Either way, a lot of people are looking at Marketplace, and young people in particular, and to help capitalize on this interest, Facebook\u2019s adding some new options to help streamline the shopping experience.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>First off, Marketplace is getting a new
