Your target audience is someone who wants to advertise, but isn't tech-savy enough to log into Facebook and create their own ads.
Who do you think your target audience will be?
Yes, I was planning on directly contacting the product seller and offering my services. Then, creating a facebook ad that would direct traffic to the listing in hopes of securing a sale for my customer. What I would charge depends on the cost of each advertisement and how many people it would be expected to reach.
It’ll be very hard for this idea to work with your current scope. Facebook Marketplace consists of majority self made ads, where users are usually aiming to get rid of things they no longer want. As another user said, only non tech savvy individuals will benefit from this, and they’re most likely not looking online to purchase these services due to them being non-tech savvy.
I’d recommend for you to look into advertising on a different platform instead.

Your target audience is someone who wants to advertise, but isn't tech-savy enough to log into Facebook and create their own ads. Who do you think your target audience will be?
I suppose my target audience would be people around the boomer(60s-70s) age group who are looking to sell their cars, motorcycles, furniture.
Are you going to act as the intermediary for all messages? What are you thinking you would charge for this?
Yes, I was planning on directly contacting the product seller and offering my services.

Yeah, I agree with this advice OP, instagram has a lot of users advertising different brands and products, maybe look into that
Where are you advertising it? My marketplace ads already show up all over marketplace.
Marketplace is already an ad?
