Stop answering the same Marketplace questions.

MPMate automates activity on your own Facebook account. Facebook’s terms don’t allow this type of automation, so there is a risk that Facebook could restrict an account.

MPMate is deliberately cautious about it: a small number of replies, pauses between them, and silence whenever it isn’t certain. But we can’t guarantee Facebook won’t take action, and we’d rather say so before you sign up.

You install MPMate in your browser and stay signed into Facebook as normal. Every so often it opens your Marketplace inbox, looks at conversations from the last 24 hours, and replies to the ones that match an answer you wrote. Everything happens in your browser, in your own account.

No. MPMate doesn’t generate replies. You provide the answers and it sends them word for word when it spots a matching question.

You write the question the way a buyer would ask it — “is this still available?” — and MPMate pulls the keywords out. Any message that mentions them gets your answer, whatever else the sentence looks like. Add other wordings, separated by commas, and it catches those too.

That’s most of the point. Your answers can say anything you want: the cross street, the buzzer code, which evenings suit you, whether you’ll hold something until Saturday. None of it has to be public on the listing.

It sends nothing and leaves the conversation for you. Anything that raises price, condition, delivery or timing, or asks something you have no answer for, comes to you untouched.

No. It only looks at conversations attached to a Marketplace listing, and skips everything else before reading it.

No. It works in the browser where you’re already signed in. It never asks for, sees or stores your password, and your conversations aren’t uploaded anywhere.

Yes. Your answers aren’t attached to a particular item — write “where are you located?” once and it covers every listing you have, including ones you post later.

It steps back. If you spoke last in a conversation, MPMate leaves that one alone — it will never talk over you.

Any time. There’s a switch in the extension: turn off automatic checking and MPMate does nothing until you press Check now, or turn it back on. Your answers stay where they are.

Chrome, Edge and Firefox. There’s nothing separate to install or leave running — it works alongside Marketplace in the browser you already use.

Facebook redesigns things regularly. When they do we publish a fix the extension picks up on its next check, with nothing for you to reinstall. It’s the main thing your subscription pays for.

You get 14 days with everything unlocked and no credit card. After that MPMate stops replying until you subscribe — nothing is deleted, and all your answers are still there when you come back. It’s $10/month, or $5/month if you’re one of the first 10.

Whenever you like, and access runs to the end of the period you’ve paid for.
