▸ Check for your issue in the Support inbox.
▸ You need to fix the issue that has led Facebook to block your marketplace so that it won’t be a problem shortly. If you’ve faced issues with paperwork, resolve them using the right documents.

How To solve Facebook Marketplace blocked for no reason:
If you’re blocked from the Facebook marketplace suddenly without any reason, it might be because of poor feedback reports received by members. If you’re not selling authentic products or have tricked your customers with fake or defective products, negative feedback from the customers can result in you getting blocked on the Facebook marketplace.
When your product is not authentic it gets flagged on the marketplace by other Facebook users. When you get flagged several times on several products, Facebook might take you off the marketplace by blocking you. However, it’s also possible that it’s a mistake or a wrong action taken by Facebook authorities.
You can’t get yourself directly unblocked from the Facebook marketplace. You’ll need to appeal to Facebook to review the situation and then if it’s found that they’ve mistakenly blocked you, your account will be unblocked from the marketplace.
To report and appeal to Facebook, go to facebook.com/marketplace.
What Does It Mean Blocked for going too fast on Facebook Marketplace:
When you’re blocked on the marketplace for using a feature too much, you get to see the error message that says, It looks like you were misusing this feature by going too fast. You’ve been blocked from using it.
This only shows to you when you use a marketplace feature several or repetitive times without taking intervals in between. Facebook suspects that your account is being controlled a bit which is why it blocks the feature to prevent you from using it for a period.
This kind of prevention is generally lifted within a few hours but it can last as long as 30 days in severe cases.
