Account Warmup Checklist

Add Profile Photo

Upload a real-looking profile picture (human face, not a logo). This is the #1 trust signal.

Add Cover Photo

A cover photo increases authenticity signals significantly. Use a lifestyle or local photo.

Fill In Bio & About Section

Add your hometown, workplace, and education. Partial profiles raise spam flags.

Verify Phone Number

Link a real mobile number. Verified accounts have much higher listing approval rates.

Like & React to 20+ Posts

Simulate natural scrolling activity. Like news, local pages, and public groups relevant to your market.

Join 3–5 Local Facebook Groups

Join community buy-sell groups and local neighborhood groups. This anchors your geo-location trust signal.

Comment on 5+ Public Posts

Leave brief, natural comments on public posts. Avoid promotional text — use "Great!" or "Thanks for sharing".

Add 5+ Friends

Send friend requests to accounts you know. Accounts with zero friends receive lower trust scores.

Make a Personal Status Post

Post a simple life update or share a public article. Human-looking accounts post personal content.

Browse Marketplace (Don't List Yet)

Spend 10 minutes browsing Marketplace listings and saving items. This registers as authentic buyer behaviour.

Enable 2-Factor Authentication

Enable 2FA in Facebook Security settings. This boosts account trust classification and reduces checkpoint triggers.

Post 1 Test Listing (Low-Value Item)

Start with a cheap or free item listing (books, clothes, furniture). This tests your approval status without high-risk flags.
