Issue with MarketPlace
ClosedBoKoli -
Hello,
I have been using Facebook's MarketPlace to sell items for a few years now, and for the first time yesterday I received this message: "You have reached your monthly ad limit, please return on the first day of next month or after to create new listings" even though I created more in July without any issues. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Thank you.

Hello!
I just received the same message even though I publish a lot every month. This month I'm at 20 listings. I'm moving abroad in a few months and I need to empty my house, I'm really stuck :( If anyone has a solution, I would also appreciate it! Thank you!

Hello,
Knowing whether someone else has encountered the same problem won't change the fact that you have exceeded the limit of possible ads over 30 days, and in your case, it's Facebook that blocks and limits your number of ads on their servers on your account. Therefore, logically, only Facebook is able to lift this restriction.
Who better than Renault to service your Renault.
Uh! Chuck Norris...
There is nothing aggressive; I just explained to you that this restriction on your account was put in place by the Facebook officials and that only they are able to cancel it at their discretion.
And seeking the opinion of others will not resolve or cancel this restriction put in place by Facebook.
Knowing whether someone has encountered the same problem will not change the fact that you have exceeded the limit of possible ads in 30 days.
Logically, if you cannot find the exit in a maze and you ask someone else who is in the same situation as you, "Where is the exit?" this will not provide you with the solution.
I have the same problem, I hadn't posted anything on my marketplace for a very long time, I posted 19 items yesterday and got an error on the 20th, no way to continue. This morning I tried again and got the message that I reached my limit and need to wait until next month... yet I still have quite a few items to sell.
So marketplace is no longer useful, 19 listings goes very quickly.
Have a nice day
Hello,
I just had the same problem and yet, during other months, I put a lot of items for sale. This month, I must be at 20 items listed for sale.
Does anyone have an explanation?
Thank you
Hello, it's strange that I can't find ANY information about this limit on Google or Twitter... I also have 2 FB accounts and both accounts are limited to 5 car ads and 20 in total...
Here is the message that appears if you try to post a sixth ad..
"You have reached your monthly limit of 5 car ads
We now have a monthly ad limit. You can create new ads on the first of the month or afterward. Learn more"
When I paste this message or the first sentence into Google, I only get 2 responses... An article on "le moniteur" in Belgium and this forum on how it works..
AND that's IT;;; INCREDIBLE;;;
Hello,
it's strange that I can't find ANY information about this limit on Google Yet in less than a minute, with my search engine…

They want to start charging for ads; today it's 20, tomorrow 15, then 10, then 5 at the very beginning it was free for teachers to get known, then paid, but free for individuals, on Le Bon Coin and Vinted they force you to reach for your wallet so they can profit from it, but don't worry they will all get along!!! For most people, it's to make a little bit of money, but the cash is soon going to be finished ☹️???????????? I find it disgusting..... to charge for sales of €2, €3, €4, €5 ?????????
I'm new to the marketplace. I fill everything out to post listings and when I click on next, nothing happens. "Next" is not highlighted. I can still find the photos of my listings but they are not published. I cancel them all to start over and then, there it is! The message "you have reached your monthly listing limit" when I don't have any more listings! What's the problem?
Hello
Meta, and it's not the only one, is questioning everything and changing the rules on its own turf, it's true that there's nothing we can do about it.
Just look at the news at the fines they're all paying, so a new trend is to prevent people from communicating too much with others or you'll get blocked, unless you pay more, but we shouldn't be given that reputation. Am I right?
To put it briefly, it's a bit too reductive as a description, that's true.
Diversify, use several selling sites if it's urgent.
Hello, for eBay I found: If you have reached the monthly limit for a certain category, you must not list items in another category that is not suitable, as this violates our guidelines on manipulating search results and navigation. For Google I found: To better understand the cause of this limitation, please refer to our guide on ad serving limits. For Facebook, there are indeed advertising billing: You have reached your payment limit. A payment limit is an amount that you can spend on ads before we bill you. Each time your advertising costs reach the amount of your payment limit, we charge that amount. But I haven't found any "clear" new limitations for now: https://fr-fr.facebook.com/help/2193854224216494
Hello
I had exactly the same problem today.
Like you, I regularly sell on the marketplace and I used to post a hundred ads without any issues. But this August, something must have changed, a new Facebook update or I don't know what... because after only 20 ads, I received this message ????
It’s very annoying because 20 ads is nothing.
So I think the limit is 20, even if it’s not explicitly stated, but counting the number of ads I’ve posted this month, it's 20. That’s little, I think. It doesn’t even represent one ad a day.
So I also published on lebon*** and vint** but I usually do that as well. It helps speed up sales since we have a different audience across the 3 platforms.
It's frustrating because Facebook Marketplace was working well. Anyway, I don’t have any more answers than you do and I hope they will remove this update or expand it a bit because I repeat, 20 per month is really too few when you have a garage sale with a ton of boxes ????
Have a good evening
I have the same problem and they aren’t saying anything about it???? I can't post an ad anymore, even when I've deleted some from my page
Whereas I’ve never had any issues before for 7 years
It’s a real mess on the marketplace lately, just problems without any responses ????????
Here’s what now displays after publishing 20 listings in the month:
You have reached your monthly limit of 20 listings
We now have a monthly limit on listings. You can create new listings on the first of the month or after. Learn more
If you click on "learn more":
There is now a limit on the number of new Facebook Marketplace listings you can create per calendar month. Once you have reached any of the following limits, you can’t create new listings for the rest of the month:
- 5 listings in Vehicles
- 5 listings in Auto Parts and Accessories
- 5 listings in Homes for Sale or Rent
- 20 total listings
Note:
- Listing limits reset on the first day of each month.
- Your listings will remain active after the limit resets and won’t count towards the limit for the new month.
- Each listing created counts towards the limit, even if deleted.
For those who do not read English, I let you copy the text to have it translated by the internet.
Marketplace, not much interest anymore. I have only made 2 sales this month with this limit nonsense. Can’t wait for the 1st of September to be able to relist.
Good luck to everyone
