Short answer
Facebook limits or suspends Marketplace when listings break its Commerce Policies, and it warns you first when access is at risk. Open your profile, go to Profile status → Marketplace, see which listings were the problem and select Request review where it is offered — reviews are available for a limited time (Facebook names 180 days for rejected listings) and not for every rule. On a first violation you may be able to remove the warning. If your whole Facebook account is restricted, that is a separate review.
At risk, limited or suspended
- At risk: a warning that further violations will cost you access.
- Limited: some Marketplace features are restricted.
- Suspended: you can’t buy or sell on Marketplace.
All three come from repeated breaches of the Commerce Policies — prohibited items, misleading listings, or behaviour that looks like spam.
How to request a review
- Go to your profile and open Profile status.
- Under the extra features, select Marketplace.
- Choose See what happened or See issue and select the listing.
- Select Request review. If Facebook finds it made a mistake, it restores the listing.
When there is no review button
- More than 180 days have passed since the listing was rejected.
- You already requested a review.
- A review isn’t available for the rule that was broken.
For a first violation, depending on the rule, you may be able to remove the warning instead — the listings behind it stay removed.
Keep it from happening again
- Read the Commerce Policies before listing anything unusual — animals, medicines, weapons and digital products are common problems.
- Describe items accurately and use your own photos.
- Don’t post many near-identical listings in a short time.
- Don’t create a new profile to get around a suspension; that can put the whole account at risk.
If the whole account is affected
A Marketplace restriction is not an account restriction. If Facebook has disabled or restricted your profile itself, start with our disabled Facebook account guide; when a review fails on a case that looks wrong, our Facebook account recovery service prepares it through Meta’s official channels.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a Marketplace suspension last?
Facebook doesn’t publish one length. Profile status shows what applies to you and whether a review is available.
Can I just open a new account to sell?
No. Creating accounts to get around a restriction breaks Facebook’s rules and can lead to wider restrictions.
My listing was rejected by mistake. What now?
Request a review from Profile status within the time limit; if Facebook agrees, the listing is restored.
Does a Marketplace restriction affect my Page or ads?
Not by itself. Ad restrictions and Page restrictions are separate and have their own reviews.
