DealerToolkitWays to post cars to Facebook Marketplace, compared
There are four ways to get cars onto Facebook Marketplace in the UK: list each by hand, use a browser extension that fills the form (DealerToolkit or Marketplace Pro), let a server bot post for you, or pay for Automotive Inventory Ads. Extensions are the fastest free-listing route that keeps you in control of every post.

Why dealers choose DealerToolkit
- You have a DMS, website provider or spreadsheet that can supply a stock feed.
- You want to tick several cars and post them in one sitting rather than clicking through each advert.
- You want one consistent description layout, emoji bullets and your groups ticked on every post.
- You want to try everything safely first with a test mode that cannot publish.
The other routes
By hand works for a few cars but takes several minutes a listing. Server bots that post from a remote computer remove the work but act from a different location and device to your normal use, which is a higher risk to your Facebook account. Automotive Inventory Ads are Facebook’s official paid product for dealer stock; they are adverts rather than free listings. Our dealer guide explains each.
Questions
What is the best Marketplace Pro alternative?
DealerToolkit is a Marketplace Pro alternative for UK car sellers. Both are Chrome extensions that fill in Facebook Marketplace vehicle listings. DealerToolkit reads your stock feed directly rather than copying listings from AutoTrader or Gumtree pages, and adds description templates, emoji bullets, group ticking and test mode.
What is the difference between DealerToolkit and Marketplace Pro?
Marketplace Pro adds a "Post to Facebook" button to listings on sites such as AutoTrader UK, Gumtree and UsedCarsNI and copies the vehicle from that page. DealerToolkit reads your stock feed from your stock system or a file, and posts the cars you tick in one run.
