Selling on Facebook Marketplace is one of the fastest ways to reach local buyers, but many sellers unknowingly make mistakes that hurt their results. If you want to maximize visibility and sales in 2025, here are the top 5 mistakes to avoid:
-
Posting Without Clear Photos
Low-quality or blurry images drastically reduce engagement. Always upload at least 3–5 clear, well-lit photos that highlight your product. -
Using Clickbait Titles
Titles stuffed with unnecessary emojis or misleading words get flagged or ignored. Keep it simple, accurate, and searchable. -
Ignoring Facebook’s Rules
Banned items (like tickets, animals, or services) can get your account restricted. Always double-check Marketplace guidelines. -
Overpricing Items
Buyers on Marketplace compare prices instantly. Research your category before posting to stay competitive. -
Not Refreshing Old Listings
Facebook boosts fresh content. If your item hasn’t sold in 2–3 weeks, re-upload or update your listing to regain visibility.
✅ Pro tip: Use posting tools like DoPost to schedule and refresh ads automatically, keeping them visible without extra effort.
