Short answer: A marketplace lets several buyers quote on your listing, so you see competing offers without driving around, and many arrange collection, whereas a yard gives you an immediate price and payment but only one buyer's opinion, and a marketplace requires a little more setup, so it suits loads worth shopping around and anyone who wants convenience, while a yard suits quick, small sales.
