Facebook Marketplace has over a billion users, and it’s baked right into the official Facebook app. You are only a tap away from exploring products selling in your local area. However, sometimes Facebook Marketplace may fail to show all listings. Here are the best ways to fix the problem.

There are several reasons behind Facebook Marketplace not showing all listings. It can be due to an authentication error, corrupt cache, sketchy extensions on the web, or more.

If someone reports you for selling fake, damaged, or counterfeit items or for any other legitimate reason, Facebook may ban you from Marketplace.

5. Disable Third-Party Extensions

Excessive use of third-party extensions on the web may interfere with Facebook Marketplace listings. These extensions offering coupons and discounts may not have compatibility with Marketplace. Some extensions may go outdated or develop incompatibility with the latest browser version. It’s time to review installed extensions and remove unnecessary ones.

8. Try Another Browser

If you are facing Marketplace issues with a specific browser on the web, you’ll need to use another web browser and try again. There is no drought of capable browsers on the web. Some of the notable Chrome alternatives include Microsoft Edge, Firefox, Opera, and Brave.
