Why Is Facebook Limiting My Account on Marketplace
Like most e-commerce platforms, Facebook Marketplace has strict guidelines and rules to follow. For example, you can’t sell specific items like medicines, digital items, subscriptions, alcohol, gift cards, and more on the platform. When you repeatedly break the rules and post irrelevant items on Facebook Marketplace, the company may temporarily limit your account.
Facebook also imposesrestrictions on new accounts. If you have recently created a new account on the platform, you may facelimitations with checking listingsand selling items on the Marketplace. Facebook claims to do this to help build a better community for buyers and sellers.
Old Facebook users using the platform regularly shouldn’t face such an issue. Facebook wants to control spam and annoying behavior from new users on the Marketplace.
How Long Does Facebook Marketplace Limit Last
Facebook doesn’t specify the time limit for an account. Usually, such a limit lasts for a couple of days or a week. We recommend being active on Facebook to build trust with the platform. It helps lift the restriction sooner rather than later.
How to Fix Facebook Marketplace Limit Reached Issue
Since you have a good idea about Facebook Marketplace rules and behavior try the tips below to remove the ‘limit reached’ problem and start posting stuff on the platform.
Fix 1: Be Active on Facebook
If you have recently created a new account on Facebook, remain active on the social media platform. You should like and comment on your friends’ posts, share photos and videos on the platform, message others, etc.
Basically, you need to build authority in front of Facebook to start selling items on Marketplace.
Fix 2: Interact With Other Listings
You need to also interact with other Facebook Marketplace listings. You can try purchasing a few items, inquire about other items with sellers, and more.
Fix 3: Complete Your Facebook Profile
Did you create a new Facebook account just to sell some items on Marketplace? Aside from remaining active on the platform, you should also complete your Facebook profile with relevant details. For example, you need to add a profile picture, banner, and other details to your account. The aim is to confirm your authority on Facebook and potential buyers.
Fix 4: Slow Down With Facebook Marketplace Listings
Are you trying to sell too many items at once on Facebook Marketplace? You should slow down and sell only one item at a time. When you have a new Facebook account and try selling dozens of items, the platform may impose a limit.
Fix 5: Clear Facebook Cache
Facebook collects cache in the background to improve app performance. When the app collects a corrupt cache, you may face issues with listing products on Facebook Marketplace.
Long-press on theFacebookapp icon and open theinfomenu. SelectStorage and Dataand tapClear cache.

Fix 6: Disable VPN
When you connect to a VPN network, Facebook may detect an unknown IP address and impose a limit on your account. You should disable the VPN, restart Facebook, and try your luck with Marketplace again.
