I see you frustration friend. But what state is this Portland in? There are about five states with this name.

Thanks Able - but that's not the issue here. I can send messages to other sellers on Facebook Marketplace, but am not receiving anything from my ads.
Could you please go to Facebook Marketplace through this link and try sending me a message on this product? Could you then let me know what happens, and send me any relevant screenshots?https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/181839213655686/
To access this, you will need to log onto Facebook Marketplace and change the search location to Portland.
Thanks so much for your help,
David

Hi,

I'd check Messenger app as it is used in order to communicate between buyers and sellers on Marketplace.

It after an item it is a possibility it may have been marked as sold, which archives the conversation. To find the conversation, search for the person's name or the listing title of buyers and sellers.

Thanks Joyce,
Could you help me out by looking at one of my ads and responding so I know whether the messaging aspect works?

If you have Google Search Console set up on your website you are good to go. :)

Here is some training on how to do this: Setting Up Google Search Console You don't need to ping, that has been irrelevant for many years now.

It is best to leave it to google to find your article. You can manually request to index your article in google search console by providing the link but google eventually does it on its own schedule.

The best way is to keep writing regularly. Depending on your publishing frequency google decides the frequency of its crawler to crawl your website for new additions.

In my case, my articles get indexed in less than 12 hrs automatically and my site is just a month old.
