Facebook Marketplace App is the official buy and sell part of the Facebook platform. It’s a digital market present right on the Facebook platform itself where Facebook users can carry out activities such as buying, selling, trading and more in their area. Yes, one thing I like very much is that you and find items without stress in your locality and in your area. Which is quite nice as you don’t have to pay for shipping or do some traveling just to buy an item.

The marketplace app is present on the Facebook app itself and can be accessed directly by Facebook users. However, there is a very serious catch. If you are probably new to this you might not know that this feature is still rolling out. The Facebook marketplace launched in 2016 and became quite a very popular feature that is very similar to craigslist. This feature is been used by more than 800 million people monthly. So if yours stopped showing up then continue reading.

Facebook Marketplace App not Showing up

Like I said above the marketplace app is present on the Facebook application and also on the Facebook web. Accessing it is very easy if it’s available in your location, however, due to some few reasons your marketplace might not be showing up even when it’s available to you. And some of these reasons include the following;

1. When you are under 18 – it’s simple once you are under 18 years of age you can’t access this feature it’s not possible.

2. New Facebook account – also if you just recently joined the platform. meaning your account is new, you also won’t see the icon. And you cant access it.

3. Location – I have talked about this and I am saying it again. One of the reasons the marketplace will not show up is if you are in a location where the feature has not yet rolled out to. Because this feature is still been rolled out.

4. Can’t be used with the iPod touch. So if you use one forget about accessing the market feature on it.
