Is the Facebook Marketplace Being Shut Down?

One of my readers sent me a message today notifying me of something funny about the Facebook marketplace: there are no new postings since the middle of June. Whether you are viewing the marketplace or searching for items, the most recent item you can view is from June. I tried posting an item and it worked but unfortunately it doesn’t appear to be viewable in the marketplace.

I’m not sure if this is simply a bug that has gone unnoticed for weeks or if it is instead a test to see if users even notice the downtime.
