If you run a dealership, you want one thing: to sell more cars on Facebook Marketplace. Why? Because buyers are on there every single day looking for their next vehicle. But posting one car at a time eats up hours. With bulk listing automation, you can post all your cars at once, reach more people, and close more sales. In this guide, we’ll show you how it works and why Shiftly Auto makes it easy.

Why Facebook Marketplace Is a Goldmine for Dealers

Success happens faster when you're surrounded by top performers. Join a private network of 600+ car sales professionals sharing strategies, insights, and real-world results. Stay ahead of industry trends, get feedback from experts, and connect with a community that pushes you to win.

The Problem With Manual Posting

Posting one car at a time sounds fine… until you try to scale.

• Each listing takes 15–20 minutes to set up.

• If you have 50 cars, that’s over 15 hours of work.

• Listings expire fast, so you need to re-post often.

• Photos and details can get missed when rushed.

This means fewer leads, wasted time, and frustrated staff.

The Answer: Bulk Listing Automation

This is where tools like Shiftly Auto change the game. Instead of posting one car at a time, bulk listing automation lets you upload your entire inventory once. The system then pushes it out to Facebook Marketplace in seconds.

Benefits of bulk listing:

• Save hours every week.

• Keep all your cars visible at once.

• Update prices and sold cars automatically.

• Track performance with dashboards.

Shiftly Auto even helps with ad management and training so your dealership not only posts faster but also sells more cars on Facebook Marketplace.
