How to avoid ad shadowban?

🔹 What is Shadowban?

Shadowban is a hidden restriction when your ads are not visible to other users, but Facebook does not notify you about the blocking.

🔹 Reasons for shadowban:

❌ Mass publication of identical ads in a short time.

❌ Use of prohibited words or categories.

❌ Frequent changes to titles, descriptions and photos.

❌ Publishing ads from one account, but different IPs

🔹 How to avoid getting banned?

✅ Use real photos of the product, not downloaded from the Internet.

✅ Change the text of the ad if you post similar products.

✅ Do not publish ads too often - 2-5 ads per day is better.

✅ Write correct titles and descriptions, without clickbait ("Free", "Super price", etc.).

✅ Don't change your location too often to avoid suspicion.

📌 How to check for a shadowban? Try opening your ads from another account or ask your friends to find them through search. If they don't see the ads, your profile may have been shadowbanned.

3. How do I create a trusted profile for Marketplace?

🔹 Step 1: Preparing your profile

✅ Fill out your profile: photo, name, city, information about yourself.

✅ Add a few friends (at least 20-30).

✅ Be active: like, leave comments, join groups.

🔹 Step 2: Gradually enter the Marketplace

✅ First, buy products before posting ads.

✅ Leave a couple of reviews about sellers (this will increase trust in the profile).

✅ The first ads should be neutral (clothes, accessories, books).

🔹 Step 3: Increasing trust

✅ Post high-quality photos and honest descriptions.

✅ Do not change your name, photo, and geolocation immediately after the first ad.

✅ Work without a VPN or frequent IP changes (Facebook may consider this suspicious activity).

📌 Advice: if your profile gets banned, try buying a new account, but warm it up first (1-2 weeks of activity before publishing).

📌 Conclusion

✅ Sell approved items and follow Marketplace rules.

✅ Don't post too many identical ads to avoid getting shadowbanned.

✅ Create a trusted profile before actively working on the platform.

By following these rules, you will be able to sell consistently and without being blocked! 🚀
