No, your friends do not get notified when you post an item for sale in the Marketplace. Facebook Marketplace operates more like a classified ads section, where your listings are visible to people searching for items within the platform. However, if your friends regularly browse the Marketplace, they might stumble upon your listing, or you could share your listing directly with them or on your timeline for broader visibility among your friends or specific groups.
