My wife hadn’t had Facebook for years. She tried to make an account to use marketplace and it got immediately banned with no explanation.

I don’t know what’s going on with Facebook but I guess if you didn’t start using it 10+ years ago it’s too late now.

I'm in the same boat. Although I suppose I tried giving out as little legitimate information about myself as possible, so honestly I don't blame them too much for detecting somehow and blocking it (in my case specifically...)
I have a similar situation lol, I used a Facebook account almost a decade ago which I lost access to (email). Whenever I try to make a new account it instantly gets banned as a duplicate.
