lust Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 I’m in a bunch of groups on Facebook and I posted an item for sale. Facebook gives me the option to post the same ad in other groups yet I keep being blocked from posting anything because, quote from Facebook, “I posted too fast”, or it “looks like spam”. So why the hell hell am I even given the option to post in other groups if it’s going to lead to me being blocked for a few days? How is it even possible that they allow someone to post fast if it’s against the rules? There’s nobody to talk to either. Facebook doesn’t have customer service. There’s no warning of like, “ oh hey, your posts seem suspicious because you’re posting too fast”. You can only push “this isn’t spam”, which does absolutely nothing. I didn’t know Facebook had a speed limit run by bot-police. Anybody else have this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazinoz Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 I hate selling on FB because of the tyre kicking, cheap Charlie time wasters. How many places did you try to post at once? I was looking at a Mac computer for sale. I got a bit suspicious about the add. Checked via sellers profile and they had it listed on 64 different Facebook grouos in thailand.

What I think the poster is referring to are the Facebook pages that companies make. Often times they will pay a firm to manage that page, which can cost 15,000 baht per month, or more. Then there are the costs of advertising and boosting posts for that company's Facebook page. These costs can add up quickly. Some companies get good results from this activity, while others are getting little to none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrdome Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Never had any issues. Things in demand do sell and what hasn't been mentioned yet, you save the 11% eBay commission! I suspect they will eventually want to charge something as well but in the meantime the savvy ones try to find their customer/target group and sell there. The obvious solution, OP, is to sit out your ban and then try again. Yes, it sucks that there's no customer service to speak of but nothing we can change about that.

I use eBay in Thailand both to buy and sell things. It's in English. Can't recall if I originally had to do something with the settings or whatever, but every time I open it, it's in English. Sometimes the prices shown are in baht, but all the transactions I go through with are denominated in US$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiddlehead Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 It probably depends where you live. Here in Phuket, the Items for sale-Phuket FB page is the quickest way to sell something. I've bought and sold on there. Tried bahtsold, this site, and craigslist 2 of the 3 are free), but the FB page was the quickest to move my stuff. It depends how many are watching in the area you are trying to sell I imagine. As far as worldwide, Amazon is king in the US, ebay in some countries FB in others.

I have tried to sell a number of personal items her in Chiang Mai on Facebook but just seem to attract the people who want things for nothing and want it delivered for that price. Will try ebay here but I have a feeling I am going to get the same result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My PayPal, bank and credit card links to eBay are all US based, but my eBay account address is in Thailand. Maybe Google "eBay Australia" and start from there ... I'm assuming you're Australian. "Will try ebay here but I have a feeling I am going to get the same result." You can change settings when you sell things so that they're listed worldwide, not just Thailand, if that's what you want to do. Even then you can exclude certain countries that you don't want to deal with. Edited November 28, 2017 by Suradit69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
