Can’t Access Facebook Marketplace? Here’s How to Fix It<\/strong> –\u00a0Facebook marketplace enables users to trade, purchase, and sell items like furniture, appliances, and cars with other Facebook users in their area. However, not all Facebook users can access Marketplace, which could be frustrating and leave you missing out on the latest shopping trend. In this article, we’ll explore the reasons you don’t have access to Facebook Marketplace and how to gain access.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Reasons Why You Don’t Have Access to Facebook Marketplace<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you don’t have access to Facebook Marketplace, there are several reasons why it may not appear on your Facebook page:<\/p>\n

<\/span>Your Region Doesn’t Have Marketplace<\/span><\/h3>\n

Facebook Marketplace is currently available in more than 70 countries. However, your area may not have Marketplace yet. If your Facebook profile is set to a country where Marketplace isn’t open, you won’t see the Marketplace icon on the iOS app, or the Marketplace bookmark on the desktop’s left-hand menu.<\/p>\n

<\/span>You’re Not At Least 18 Years Old<\/span><\/h3>\n

The Marketplace is only available to Facebook users who are at least 18 years old.<\/p>\n

<\/span>You’re a New Facebook User<\/span><\/h3>\n

New users are not immediately granted access to Facebook Marketplace. This is to combat potential scammers who regularly remove and rewrite profiles to sell fake goods after being barred.<\/p>\n

<\/span>You Don’t Use Marketplace Enough<\/span><\/h3>\n

Facebook’s menus are algorithmically generated, meaning the groups, sites, and applications you use most often appear on the left-hand menu bar on desktop, and on the menu accessed by clicking the three horizontal lines at the bottom right corner of the iOS app. If you use Marketplace infrequently, it may have been replaced by a more commonly used feature, and you will not see it directly on the menu.<\/p>\n

<\/span>You May Have Violated Facebook’s Policy<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you’ve listed anything that violates Marketplace’s community policy, you won’t be able to access it. Check Facebook’s policies to see if you’ve done something that goes against Facebook’s policy. Then navigate to Marketplace and submit for review.<\/p>\n

<\/span>How to Access Facebook Marketplace<\/span><\/h2>\n

Suppose Marketplace isn’t showing up for you. In that case, there are a few things you should do:<\/p>\n

<\/span>Try to Access Marketplace Directly<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you’re 18 years or older and live in an area that offers Marketplace, you can access it directly by typing https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/marketplace\/<\/a> into your browser.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Log Out or Reinstall the Facebook App<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you meet all Marketplace requirements but still can’t access it, try logging out of Facebook or uninstalling and reinstalling the app.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Use Your Account Often<\/span><\/h3>\n

If your account is new, try using it often. Leave comments on blog posts, post pictures, and add friends.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Change Your Region<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you recently relocated or live in a region where Marketplace isn’t accessible, change your Facebook profile area by going to Settings > Language and Region.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Facebook Marketplace: Categories<\/span><\/h2>\n
