I’ve been trying to sell my old iPhone and AirPods on Facebook Marketplace. Since I wanted them gone quickly, I priced them a bit lower than similar listings but Facebook instantly flagged them as “counterfeit.” I thought maybe the issue was my photos, so I relisted with clearer pictures… same result. Every appeal just gets an automated rejection with no real explanation. Now I’m getting warnings that I’m “at risk of losing access to Marketplace.”
It honestly feels like their AI is using a hard, oversimplified rule: “iPhone 8 listed for $80? Must be counterfeit.”
Man, fuck Facebook Marketplace. I cannot figure out for the life of me why everyone decided to abandon the perfectly useable Craigslist for that unreliable, buggy, scam-laden pile of hot garbage. Never once have I had a single good experience with Facebook Marketplace.
