Cover card with a shop listing and checklist, for appealing a wrongly rejected Marketplace listing.
Short answer

If Facebook rejected a Marketplace listing by mistake, open the listing in Marketplace, tap Request review, and wait for the result before relisting. Repeated rejected listings can lead to Marketplace restrictions, so don't post the same item again unchanged. Read Meta's Commerce Policies, fix wording or photos that may trigger filters, and check your Marketplace access status.

Summary
  • Request review on the rejected listing.
  • Don't relist the same item unchanged.
  • Repeated rejections can restrict Marketplace.
  • Words and photos can trigger automated filters.
  • Check your Marketplace access status.

#What common mistakes should I avoid?

  • Relisting the same item repeatedly.
  • Using stock photos.
  • Calling fake Marketplace support numbers.
  • Ignoring the access status page.

#When should I ask an expert before I act?

Ask for help before you appeal if the account matters to your income, your business or your memories, if you have already had one appeal rejected, or if you cannot tell whether the problem is a bug, a restriction or a hack. That is where most avoidable losses happen.
