Things that can't be listed for sale on Facebook Marketplace
Products listed on Facebook Marketplace must comply with Meta's Commerce Policies and the Facebook Community Standards. Buyers and sellers are also responsible for complying with all applicable laws and regulations.
Examples:
- No item for sale: Anything that isn't a physical product for sale shouldn't be listed on Marketplace. For example, "in search of" posts, lost and found posts, jokes and news aren't allowed.
- Services: Selling services (e.g. house cleaning) on Marketplace isn't allowed.
- Animals: Selling animals or animal products isn't allowed on Marketplace. This includes posting about animals for adoption, except by vetted pet adoption matching services.
- Healthcare products: Medical and healthcare-related products aren't allowed on Marketplace (e.g. thermometers, first-aid kits).
- Recalled products: If you're unsure whether the item you're buying or selling has been recalled, look on the website of the item's manufacturer or relevant government entity. For example, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission or the EU Rapid Alert System for Dangerous Non-food Products.
