How to remove Marketplace from Facebook. Every time you open Facebook, it's always the same story: that "little number" on the icon Marketplace is always there, ready to let you know that someone is selling something new. And since you do not intend to buy or sell nothing using the pages of the social network, you want to delete it.
However, although you have a lot of “experience” in using Facebook, you still haven't been able to delete it. So, in today's guide, I intend to explain to you how to get rid of the buy / sell functions of the social network, abandoning all the groups dedicated to them, both mobile phones, tablets and PCs. Let's see how to remove Marketplace from Facebook.

How to remove Facebook Marketplace step by step
If you really intend to get rid of annoying notifications from Facebook Marketplace, this is the section of the tutorial that suits you best.
However, before continuing, I have to make a necessary clarification to you. At the moment, you cannot completely remove the Marketplace icon, but you can prevent the appearance of notifications (and thematic suggestions) by leaving all the buying / selling groups to which you are registered. Below I intend to explain how to perform this operation both from smartphones and tablets and from computers.
Mobile Phone
Leaving a sales group on Facebook from mobile phones and tablets is very simple. First, start the Facebook for Android o iOS and press the button ☰ located in the upper right (in Android ) or bottom right (top iOS ), touch the item Groups and, on the next screen, identify the sales group of your interest (based on the preview of the cover images or name) from the proposed list.
At this point, do a prolonged touch in the group preview, tap the item Leave the group located in the displayed menu, press thebutton. Logout that appears in the following warning message and that's it.
To finish and get rid of the Marketplace notifications, repeat this operation for all the sales groups that appear in the list.
Note : At the time of writing, there is no "quick" way to see all sales groups in a separate section, which could be a problem if you have a large number of groups. If this is your case, I recommend that you check through your PC, since, as you will soon discover, you can use a "trick" to see the Marketplace groups at once.
Pc
To exit the sales groups from the PC, proceed as I suggest below. First, log into the Facebook website as you normally would. Then click on the article Marketplace located at the top of the left navigation bar (or alternatively connected directly to this link) and then on the item Groups, also located on the left side of the new screen.
If all went well, you should be able to see the list of sales groups you are subscribed to within the section Your groups, located on the right side of the newly opened page. If necessary, click on Non-Alcoholic Beverages To see them all.
Then right-click on the link of the first sales group placed in the list and choose the item Open link in another tab from the proposed menu. In this way, the group in question will open in a new tab of the navigator, thus making the previously opened list available.
Once done, go to the newly opened tab, click on the button Member / Registered positioned just below the group cover image, choose the item Leave the group and confirm the willingness to proceed by pressing the button Leave the group.
If you want, you can make sure that group members can no longer add you back to the group (you can still do it independently whenever you want) by placing the check mark in the appropriate box.
At this point, you can close the tab for the newly left group, return to the one containing the list of sales groups, and repeat the same operation for all the groups listed.
Facebook for Windows 10
If you have Windows 10, even in this case you can leave the sales groups whenever you want, thus eliminating annoying notifications from Marketplace (which, however, still do not appear in the aforementioned application).
In any case, exactly as you have already seen for the mobile phone and tablet application, it is not possible to "group" all sales groups in one place, but you will need to identify them in the list of groups to which you are subscribed.
Everything clear? OK, let's proceed.
First, press the button ☰ located in the upper left, select the item Groups from the list that appears and identify, from the proposed list, the sales group of your interest; done this, click on the icon of the group in question, press on the element Registration completed and choose the option Leave the group in the menu that appears.
Finally click the button Leave the group which appears immediately after and repeat the above steps for all other sales groups to which you are subscribed.

At the moment, he does not want remove Facebook Marketplace but you do want to disable the buying (and selling) functions related to a group that you manage.
Then this is precisely the section of the guide that is right for you. In the following, in fact, I will provide you with all the necessary instructions to reach the goal you have set for yourself (changing the type of group), whether you act as a mobile phone or a tablet. , whether you are preparing to perform this operation from a PC.
However, before we start, I must make two necessary clarifications: the first is that you can, at any time, activate the group sales function again. The second is that, as you can imagine, you can only make such a change if you are a group administrator.
Mobile Phone
If you intend to act in the group of your interest using your mobile phone or tablet, start the application Facebook for Android or iOS calling it from the drawer of your device, press the button ☰ placed on top or bottom and touch the item Groups of the panel that opens later.

When you're done, press the voice Save located in the upper right. From this point on, your party members will no longer be able to sell items through it.
If you want to go back and activate the sales feature for your group members, all you have to do is repeat the steps suggested above, making sure to put the check mark next to Purchases and sales attached to the panel Group type.

From this point on, group members will no longer be able to list new items (which you and other group administrators will, however, continue to do).
As I already mentioned at the beginning of this chapter, you can re-enable the buy / sell functions for group members in an extremely easy way. All you have to do is repeat the procedure described above, taking care to select Purchases and sales when choosing the group type.
Facebook for Windows 10
You can also disable the buy / sell functions from the app Facebook for Windows 10, in an extremely simple way. After launching the application, press the button ☰, choose the article Groups in the menu that appears and select the group on which you want to act from the proposed list. Alternatively, you can get the same result by searching the appropriate bar at the top.
In any case, once in the section dedicated to the group, click on the item Statistical data and tools for administrators, touch the item configurations attached to the next window and then in Group type.
To finish, choose a different item from Purchases and sales and confirm everything by clicking the button Save located in the upper right.
