Oof. That is hilarious and maddening.

It’s a disturbing trend on any site we rely on or use for services. There is no recourse, once a decision has been made. Last week, I was banned from Facebook Marketplace because… I don’t actually know.

I’m cleaning out an old shed and want to sell a bunch of stuff. So, I logged into Facebook for the first time in 2 years, posted a Shop Vac for sale for $50 USD, and an hour later was locked out of Marketplace.

There is an option to “request a review”, which I did. An automated reply a few days later said they would not restore my account at this time. And that’s it.

No warning, no communication, no justification.
