Hi sir. Here is the detailed proposal for your query.
Query: Need a simple website that I can use to manage items that I post for sale on Facebook. Each item will need its own unique page that can be shared through social media. May not need an actual shopping cart, do not need to manage check out, payments or shipping.
Response: We'll create this website using WP. As you have metioned that you don't need actual shopping carts etc, then we can create template files. These will serve as individual product pages. These will have social sharing buttons so you will be able to share your post directly to facebook (not in groups, I'll explain that).
Query: I need to set up an items with 6-8 basic fields (most text fields such as sale price, when to make available, description) Also need to assign a category to the item.
Response: The template we'll create will have this category. You will be able to enter the field directly when creating a project page. Without any hassle. Custom fields feature of WP would be used to achieve this.
Query: Once the item is posted I need it to auto post to my fb group page within an album, if possible. (I am looking for a solution though)
Response: This is not possible with WP sir. You will have to get a fb app developed especially for this purpose. That itself is another project.
