Who can Still See Your Hidden Listings on Fb Marketplace Apart from Your Friends
Even after you enable the “hide from friends”, listings are still going to be public. This means that people who aren’t your “friends” can still see your listing regardless of whether you turn on/off the “hide from friends” feature. Here are some sets of people who fall under those that can still see your listing;
-
Former Friends
If you’ve had a friend in the past that you later unfriended or has unfriended you. This will put he/she under this category to still see all your listings on the marketplace.
-
People who aren’t Logged into Facebook or messenger
If you’ve created a link to your listing, people outside the app can see your listing when you forward them the link. So here they can enter the link and see your listings.

Also, friends of your Facebook friends can obviously see your listings.
As written above, the friends of your Facebook friends who may or may not know you can view your listings.
Conclusion
In conclusion, you should note that you can only hide “items” on your listings. Others like houses, vehicles, apartment cannot be listed yet.
