Marketplace sometimes expands the radius quietly when local inventory is sparse, with no clear indication that far-away listings have joined the feed
Facebook Marketplace distance filter
Hide far-away Facebook Marketplace listings
Facebook Marketplace does not always respect the local radius you intended to search. MarketClean helps you enforce a stricter distance limit in your browser so results stay local.

What it fixes
Local browsing gets noisy when radius control slips.
distant listings fill the feed and make it harder to spot items that are actually within driving distance
you end up scrolling past listings that aren't nearby and can't easily remove them without adjusting the search radius manually each time
How MarketClean helps
A stricter local filter, without touching Facebook’s settings.
reads the distance label on each listing card and hides any listing that exceeds your chosen limit
applies filtering continuously as new listings load while you scroll, not just on initial page load
supports miles and kilometres with a fallback center city for listings that show a city name instead of a numeric distance
What it doesn't do
MarketClean is a browser filter, not a Marketplace setting.
does not change or repair the built-in Marketplace distance filter on Facebook's side
does not guarantee every listing includes accurate distance data — some listings only show a city name
does not click, post, message, or automate anything on your behalf
Filtering runs in your browser. The distance filter sends location names to our geocoder to measure distance; we never send your keyword lists or personal data.

FAQ
Distance filter questions buyers ask
Can MarketClean make Facebook Marketplace show only nearby listings?
MarketClean can enforce a stricter distance limit directly in your browser, so listings beyond your chosen range are hidden even when Facebook Marketplace quietly expands the radius on its own. Facebook Marketplace’s built-in distance filter is a server-side preference, not a hard cutoff — when local inventory is sparse, Marketplace will silently include listings from well outside your set range. MarketClean works differently: it reads the distance label displayed on each listing card and hides any listing that exceeds your chosen limit. This check runs continuously as new listings load while you scroll, not just on initial page load, so filtering stays consistent throughout your session. The extension supports both miles and kilometres. You can also configure a fallback center city for listings that show a city name instead of a specific distance value. Nothing on Facebook is changed — it is a browser-side filter only.
Does it change Facebook’s settings?
No. It adds client-side filtering in your browser. Your Marketplace settings on Facebook are not changed in any way.
How does MarketClean know the distance of a listing?
MarketClean reads the distance label displayed on each listing card in the Facebook Marketplace feed — the same number you can see when browsing manually. When a listing shows a distance within your limit, it stays visible. When a listing shows a distance beyond your limit, it is hidden. This approach means MarketClean only acts on data already visible to you, without querying Facebook's servers or accessing any location data independently. Some listings do not show a numeric distance — they may display a city name instead. For these cases, you can set a fallback center city in the extension popup. MarketClean will estimate the distance from that city and apply your limit accordingly. Listings that show no distance information at all can be configured separately: keep them visible, fade them, or hide them, depending on your preference.
Does the distance filter work as I scroll and more listings load?
Yes. MarketClean watches for new listings as they load and applies the distance check continuously so filtering stays consistent throughout your session.
Can I set the distance in miles or kilometres?
Yes. MarketClean supports both miles and kilometres. You can also configure a fallback center city for listings that show a city name instead of a specific distance value.
