Also, check the shipping options you chose with the seller or buyer, and confirm that the shipping address is correct. The seller or buyer should provide a correct tracking number, which must be included in Facebook Marketplace.

If none of the above suggestions solves your payment processing issue, check the status page for information regarding an outage or delay on Facebook's payment processing. If it is an international transaction, make sure to follow the required rules and currency preferences established by both parties. In case nothing seems to work,

Here are 10 solutions that could potentially fix the Facebook Marketplace payment and shipping issues:

1. **Check Payment Information** 

- Ensure your payment method, whether credit/debit card or PayPal, is connected and updated in your Facebook Pay Settings. If there are issues regarding your payment method, simply update it.

2. **Verify Shipping Address** 

- Make sure the seller and buyer both have the correct domestic addresses filled in from back to front. Incorrect address could lead to delayed or failed shipments.

3. **Confirm Seller's Shipping Method** 

- Make sure the seller has selected a valid shipping method, and they're using a trustworthy shipping carrier. Also, check that tracking information is provided and keeps updating.

4. **Check for Facebook Payment Issues** 

- There can be instances of a glitch at Facebook with their payment processing systems. Check either the Facebook Help Center or its status page and see if there are any outages reported on payment processing.

5. **Clear Your Browser Cache** 

- Clear the cache or the cookies in your browser or app. Sometimes, the old data blocks or against payment updates, or shipping changes can take place in the Facebook Marketplace.

6. **Enable Facebook Pay Notifications** 

- Ensure that notifications for Facebook Pay are switched on so you can receive updates on payment or shipping issues swiftly so you can resolve any issues quickly.

7. **Use Compatible Payment Methods** 

- Make sure that you're using compatible payment methods according to Facebook Marketplace guidelines and have linked your debit card, credit card, or PayPal account.

8. **Check for Delivery Delays** 

- If the payment went through but the shipping is delayed, reach out to the seller to inquire into the shipping carrier's time. Sometimes, external factors can cause delays (e.g., weather, holidays).

9. **Verify Seller's Profile and Reviews** 

- You should ensure that you are buying from a good seller. Check their reviews and ratings on Facebook Marketplace. Trustworthy sellers are sure to do payment and shipping accordingly.

10. **Contact Facebook Support** 

- Reach out to Facebook Support in cases of problems related to payments or shipment issues.

Some **Facebook security tips** to access your account securely.

1. **Use a Strong Password**

- Use a strong, unique password with a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols. Do not set something easily guessable, like the name or birth date.

2. **Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)**

- Use a two-factor authentication (2FA) process in the security settings to add another layer of protection. It will send a verification code to your mobile number or email every time you log in from an unfamiliar device.

3. **Be Careful of Third-Party Apps**

- Limit and review third-party apps connected to your Facebook account by revoking access to any apps you no longer use or trust from the "Apps and Websites" under Settings.

4. **Check for Suspicious Activity on Your Account**

- Regularly check your "Login Activity" to see if there are signs of anyone accessing your account, accessible through Settings > Security and Login > Where You're Logged In.

5. **Keep Your Email and Phone Number Updated**

- Keep it up-to-date, so it is easier to recover the account if you get locked out or if there is some suspicious activity.

6. **Scheme of Phishing**

- Do not fall for any phony message or link that appears to be from a Facebook source. Always check upon the schemes of scammers, and do not click on links about which you have doubts. Facebook never asks for your password through email.

7. **Privacy Settings Review on Regular Basis**

- Over time, check the privacy settings and make any adjustments needed to ensure who can see your posts, friend list, or other personal info. Sharing your posts with "Friends" or "Only Me" would help add privacy.

8. **Log Out from Any Shared Device**

- Always log out from Facebook when you use public or shared computers/devices. You may also wish to use the "Log Out of All Sessions" feature in your security settings for peace of mind

9. Set Up Login Alerts

Configure login alerts to advise you when your account is accessed from a new device or location. This enables quick recognition of unauthorized access.

10. Use Trusted Contacts for Account Recovery

Add trusted contacts in case you get locked out of your account; these friends can help you recover your account if you're unable to access it.
