    I use Marketplace every day and have occasionally experienced a bug. I'd recommend closing the app and then ensuring that you have the most updated version from the Google Play Store, App Store, etc.

    I can’t find market place on Facebook any ideas why?

    Community Answer
    There can be various reasons for it. First it can be non-listing of the market place in the region you are looking for, others can be that the keywords you searched may not be matching with the listings. Try changing your location preference and try it with some variations in your keywords.
