A solo repair service provider needs a low-fee online platform to advertise and facilitate transactions for a niche service, but Facebook Marketplace forbids service listings and eBay fees are too high.

Facebook Marketplace does not accept service-based posts, only product listings, and eBay has high fees that make low-volume niche services unprofitable.
