I joined FB about 7 years ago mostly to reconnect with old high school friends.
I found the marketplace to be useful most of the time. There are a bunch of lowballers and other assorted lowlifes on there but that’s everywhere.
As some of you know, I’ve been selling a lot of stuff for a recently widowed neighbor.
Apparently, anything to do with guns isn’t allowed. I posted a couple of scopes on Marketplace and was told it was not allowed. Ok, whatever.
So, a few days ago I sold a guy a couple of reels. We got to talking and he asked if I had any ammunition or anything like that. So, I sent him pictures of reels, a holster and a couple of boxes of vintage ammunition thru messenger.
A day later I get a message that I am no longer allowed to buy or sell on Facebook. No explanation, nothing. All I can figure is that it’s related to the PRIVATE message that I sent the guy.
I hit the “request for review” button and it’s been in the review mode for 3 or 4 days.
It’s not that big a deal, I’ve been thinking of leaving FB anyway since I see very few posts from friends.
It’s just mostly ads and stupid videos but it pisses me off that FB thinks it’s their job to read private messages.
I’ve noticed that a lot of people have left and it’s probably because it’s not what it used to be.
