Shoppers on the platform equate to around 40 percent of Facebook's 3.03 billion monthly active users, with an estimated 485 million people logging into with the sole purpose of going on Facebook Marketplace .

That might explain what happened to Grace, a woman from New York City, who recently listed her "relatively new" white IKEA bookshelves on Facebook Marketplace.

"They are nice," she told Newsweek . "We unexpectedly scored really cool MCM bookshelves that will really tie our apartment together and now the IKEA ones are sitting, disassembled, in our 400 square foot apartment , while we wait for someone to take them."

"People rarely follow up past the first interaction, so I really don't pay attention or put much stock in the initial 'Is this still available?'" she explained.
