How do i see my marketplace profile

It's useful for some projects to keep marketplace private so visitors who are not registered or logged in users can't view its content.

This is useful if you want to preserve privacy or keep your marketplace content "hidden" to the world.

What is a private marketplace?

If your marketplace is private, only logged in users (users who have a confirmed account and are signed in) can see your marketplace's content such as listings or seller profiles.

Users who are not logged in will see the homepage on which you can customize some content to explain the situation.

What are the impacts of making the marketplace private?

If you set your marketplace as private:

• unlogged users won't be able to view the marketplace listings

• sharing buttons on each listing page (Facebook and Twitter buttons) will be disabled

• the RSS/Atom feed won't contain any information

• the sitemap will be disabled

How to make your marketplace private?

To enable the "Private" feature:

• log in as an administrator,

• open your Admin Panel,

• go to "General> Privacy",

• in the "Private marketplace" section, check the "Make marketplace private (users must log in to browse listings and user profiles)" box,

  Facebook Marketplace is a free feature that allows users to buy, sell, and trade items with people nearby — kind of like a garage sale, but online. Here, you'll find all kinds of items for sale, both big and small, cheap (even free) and expensive. 

  In this guide, we go over how to access Facebook Marketplace on a browser or the mobile app, some troubleshooting tips, reasons why Marketplace may not be available to you, and how to sell items on Facebook Marketplace.

  Important: Facebook Marketplace is available to users 18 and older in most countries, including the US and Canada. For a full list of supported countries, see the footer at the bottom of the official Facebook Marketplace page.

  If you're not seeing Facebook Marketplace when you're logged into Facebook, here are a few things you can try:

  • Log out of Facebook, then log back in.
  • Uninstall the Facebook app, then reinstall it.
  • Change your Facebook profile region to a country that supports Marketplace. To do this, edit your profile and change your current city.
  • If you have a new Facebook account, use it regularly to help prove to Facebook that it's a real account. Like and comment on posts, share photos, and add friends.
  • Visit the Facebook Marketplace website via a direct URL.

  Why can't I access Facebook Marketplace?

  If you're unable to access Facebook Marketplace, even after following the steps outlined in the previous section, there are a few potential reasons why:

  • Age: Facebook Marketplace is only available to Facebook users 18 and over.
  • Region: Marketplace is available in 50 countries. If your current location is set to a country that doesn't currently offer Facebook Marketplace, the icon won't appear.
  • Device: Facebook Marketplace only works on the iPhone 5 and later models, Android, and iPads.
  • Age of account: If you have a new Facebook account, Marketplace might not immediately be available to you. 
  • Infrequent use: Facebook's main menu shows shortcuts to the features you use most. If you never or rarely use Facebook Marketplace, the icon may disappear.
  • Access revoked: If you've violated Facebook policies when using Marketplace, your access to the service can be taken away.

  Does Marketplace show up on profile?

  Facebook Marketplace is essentially a ripoff of Craigslist with one very big difference: It's linked to your public Facebook profile.
