Top 5 Causes of Marketplace Shadowbans

Posting Frequency Spikes: Publishing more than 10-15 listings in under an hour without humanized delays triggers Meta's anti-bot velocity filters.
Duplicate Image Hashes: Reusing the exact same photo files across multiple listings without stripping EXIF metadata or modifying pixel hashes flags your account for spam.
Datacenter IP Usage: Logging into Facebook via cheap VPNs or datacenter proxies flags the login checkpoint immediately.
Unresolved Buyer Messages: Leaving incoming inquiries unanswered or receiving buyer reports regarding non-responsive listings degrades account trust scores.
Frequent Title Duplication: Using identical titles repeatedly across multiple cities triggers Facebook's duplicate listing suppression algorithm.

The 4-Step Shadowban Recovery Protocol

48-Hour Cooldown: Stop all manual listing and automated posting immediately. Allow the algorithmic trust score to reset.
Purge Dead & Flagged Listings: Delete stale listings that have been stuck at 0-2 views for over 7 days.
Warm Up Organic Signals: Spend 10-15 minutes daily browsing Marketplace, saving items, and watching videos to simulate organic human user activity.
Post a Fresh Clean Test Item: Take a brand-new, original photo using a mobile camera of a common household item, priced competitively, to confirm views return.
