How do you make a complaint about Facebook Marketplace?

I have tried listing an item on Facebook Marketplace and it keeps being rejected and appeal denied. It is a type of item I have sold a few times on Facebook Marketplace so don't know what the issue is other than it breaches codes on Weapon/Firearms. 
The really annoying thing is there are at least 8 other listings selling the same item currently listed on Marketplace. I have yet to find a link where you can make a direct complaint to Facebook about Marketplace.

    There isn't one, and even if there was one - nobody would listen. You're obviously using a key word that the algorithm checkers don't like. Try changing the text of your advert and try again. Look at those that are successfully listed - and see what text they've used - and try and use something similar. I can't work out which text exactly flags adverts to get them taken down - but just read your wording to see if anything is even slightly contentious.

    As an aside, surely it is very irresponsible for Facebook to keep Marketplace up in the current climate.

    "Yes officer, I am off to a strangers house to pick up some old garden furniture off Facebook". Not exactly an essential trip is it?
