Banned from Facebook marketplace?

[straight6chevyguy]

Hello everyone for what seems like almost a year now I have not been able to access Facebook marketplace through my account. I keep getting a message saying that marketplace is not available to me. It's like I have been banned.
I have never listed anything on marketplace only looked at others listings.
I hardly use my Facebook account and have never posted anything against the rules or anything like that.
Not sure why I can't access marketplace.
I tried contacting FB support months ago but never got a response.
Anyone else have this problem?

someone reported you regarding an item that you may have posted and had different views on it

and fakebook blocked you from posting anything

start a new account and you can repost item(s) there again

Did you even read the what the OP said. He stated clearly that he hasn't posted any items for sale. So how could he have been reported for a post he never made?

your account may have been hacked and someone using your name may have tried selling something that flagged your account, or maybe someone gave you bad reviews as a buyer

My account being hacked could be a possibility but I have never seen any evidence on my page or anything to raise concern.
I would like to reiterate that I have not listed, sold, bought or had any interaction with anyone on marketplace ever. I have only looked at listings.
I could try contacting support again but I really doubt I will get a response.
I will probably have to make a new account.

So today I tried marketplace again on my account, got a message saying I need to verify my age I'm like ok, what do they want me to do put my date of birth in or something? I already did that when I made my account. Ok so I tap the next button or whatever next message pops up saying I need to take a selfie of my face to verify my age... I'm sorry but this a bunch of Bull Cr@p!
I really Do Not feel I should have to have someone or something scan my face just so I can view listings or contact people posting for sale adds.

Don't do it
Somethings fishy here
Identity steal ???

[straight6chevyguy]

Maybe, I don't know.
But I'm not going to be messing around with it.
I understand that there are problems with fake users, bots and scammers but if this is how they think they need to protect the site from spam I'm sorry, but they are taking it to far.

What really seems strange to me is the fact that I am just now getting the message saying that I need to verify my age. Couldn't they have told me that half a year ago? Instead of just "marketplace is not available to you"

So getting banned from Facebook is a bad thing? LOL.

Have you tried accessing FB by going to the FB web site with another browser and typing in your username and password. Then going to Market Place from there. Maybe your account has been hacked. Just a thought, I have never had that problem.

I know my daughter didn’t have access to Marketplace until her 18th birthday but never had to provide a photo. So that does seem odd.

Could just make a new account.

Yeah I will try that as a last resort but got to first make a new email address to send verification code to since face book will not let you make an account using a email thats already been registered on the site.

Just for the heck of it here's some screenshots from my phone.
Wow "video selfie" I didn't even realize that it had to be a video the first time I saw it lol
