3 Ways to Fix Can’t Send Messages on Facebook Marketplace

Quick Tips
  • Facebook prevents users from sending too many messages within a short period to reduce spam.
  • If you can’t message a specific person on Facebook Marketplace, they may have blocked you.
  • You can try reinstalling the Facebook app on your phone or switching to a different browser if you can’t message.

Fix 1: Wait It Out

Facebook Marketplace limits the number of messages one can send daily to reduce spam and unsolicited activities. If you have sent too many messages on Marketplace within a short amount of time, you may see the “Limit Reached” error. This restriction usually applies to those who are new to Marketplace.

In that case, you must wait a day or two before sending messages again.

Fix 2: The Other Person May Have Blocked You

Are you unable to send messages to a specific person on the Facebook Marketplace? If so, the other person may have blocked you. In that case, you may see the “Not all buyers can message this seller” error while trying to message someone on Facebook Marketplace.

Fix 3: Request Facebook to Restore Your Marketplace Access

Facebook may revoke your Marketplace access if you violate its community guidelines. When this happens, you may be unable to send messages or view any listings on Marketplace.

If you believe your access was mistakenly revoked, you can request Facebook to reinstate your Marketplace access. To do so, go to the Marketplace tab on Facebook, click Request Review, and fill out the form.
