Facebook 12+

I recently had posted an item for sale that they said was against the rules , an I could lose my right to sell any item on there. I didn’t agree they should block it so I asked to have it reposted. The response was they would get back to me with a decision. I’m pretty sure I was supposed to hear back from them within 24 hours. I Patiently waited 3days no response. I started clicking on it no news/ just more of same thing about my item if I didn’t delete it, I’d get kicked off. An I still don’t know why I couldn’t sell it. It is a Vietnam wooden ammunition box has handles. It does say on it. Return to box control. So I kept asking myself what did I do against their policy. The only thing I could come up with was the return to box control. Do they think it was stolen or because it was an ammunition box or both which I’m sure it wasn’t stolen and I listed it for that Vietnam war veteran that would like to have it. How do I make Facebook marketplace? Tell me the reason and why can’t I list it? I need to know for future references because I have similar other items. I’ve gone over the rules what you can and can’t do and I’ve seen clever ways people get around it shouldn’t be like that anyway. Sincerely, April Rose.

It would be made better for me if
1) I could sort in market place, those things I have not read to the top of the list on that page.
2) stop adding to my inbox by making a fake question that says: “are you still interested”. It appears in bold, as if you have a new message from the seller… but in reality it’s just to misguild you and make an unread message by Facebook putting their nose in my business. I have the ability on my own to follow-up and inquire if I’m still interested or not. From a seller perspective, they should understand that I’m not interested enough to purchase at that point in time. And, it would be socially awekward to interrupt my day with such obviousness. But low and behold Facebook doesn’t care so they go ahead and add another 1-2 automated questions to each item I inquire about. Stop doing this it’s rude.
3) I have no other complaints other than selling micro organisms is no more selling animals than the lady down the street who sold a dump truck load of “dirt” filled with micro organisms…. Which is “fine” since they are sold as dirt…. But tell people all the animals you get in that pile and they take down your post! 🤦🏻‍♂️💡👌

Facebook used to be amazing. Now it’s mostly ads. They tried to create an algorithm where you have visibility of the same group of people over and over, it’s VERY boring. Their reels platform was actually getting pretty cool because they paid content creators to come over, but then when things started going well, they stopped paying them. They refused to ever monetize my account because I posted a video with a watermark, 15 videos back. Their appeal process is horrible and they have literally zero customer service. They “shadow ban” you if you post a link or share a news story so no one actually has visibility unless they search for it on my page. They grossly limit freedom of speech, esp for LGBTQ and other minority groups. They layered in so many things it got confusing, messenger is it’s own app, but reels is not, making reels difficult to share. Their system in wonky and hard to maneuver through, you get used to it, but the whole time your think “why?”. It has some value for older people to stay in touch, that’s the only good thing I can say. Like an abandoned amusement park, it used to be fun, but now it’s rusty and outdated.
