.. FB seems to be cracking down on an old FB rule about selling animals........some fish groups are being temporarily shut down and given a chance at compliance....

""Kasey Clark The great purge started on Friday and hundreds if not thousands of animal groups have been shut down. It does not matter if you use the sales format or not. The algorithms appear to be picking up prices regardless. Once they shut you down, you have one chance to delete all posts from the history of that group that the algorithms feel do not conform to community standards or the group gets deleted permanently. Betta groups seemed to have been the first ones hit. I think maybe half of the ones I am in have been deleted.""

You can get around it by not listing a price and having interested parties PM you....a bit more of a hassle, but it seems to be working....

I didn't even realize you couldn't sell animals on FB until I tried to list one for sale recently.
Ran into the you are breaking FB policy on several of the pages,and on a couple more the posts were PENDING forever.

There was a thread  on Aquaboards about now you can't post links to your Aquabid listings,i made up a listing to see if i could post the link on my FB page.
Nope,didn't work.

...that can work sometimes.....but no one yet knows the 'key' words in the algorithms that they're using...
