Does anyone else have problems with Facebook?
First of all they wouldn’t let me add my things to the catalogue because I sold downloads which is against their rules.
Now I’m starting to do ready printed versions of my posters and they’ve started adding them to my facebook shop.
However the price I state on here is before you add options - but when it gets transferred to the Facebook catalogue it only states one price and lets people message which means you then have to explain each option!
Wouldn’t it be easier if they’d just add the link to the shop page at the bottom of the product, so that it comes over to here?
I’ve had my Facebook shop since August and it’s a complete waste of time.
It would be so easy if when it transfers the information from here they just added the link.
I’m seriously tempted to close the Facebook page down. It’s been nothing but aggravation since day 1
OR…
am I just stupid and doing something wrong?
I didn’t even get as far as you… I spent hours setting up a shop and catalogue only to wait 4 weeks for the shop to be ‘approved’. At the end of the 4 weeks I got a message saying it hadn’t been approved as it violates their policies. No more information, no indication of which policy and I really can’t see what policy I violate since it’s all my own work! So I’ve given up and I use it purely as a business page, and I use Folksy to sell. Sorry I can’t offer advice.
Sounds to me as though we’ve had the same sort of response from them.
I have to be honest, I’m not sure even 5% of the people who ‘liked’ the page even look at it.
Unless you want to spend money on it, it’s rarely seen.
About 8 years ago, I had a couple of groups on Facebook with nearly 5000 people in each one. I used to used them to promote my radio shows at the time. Facebook closed them down and told me I had to have a page.
From then on, I had way fewer ‘like’s’ and the communication back and forth from people dropped to less than zilch!
Unless you’re going to spend money, it’s pretty much a wasted exercise. Or at least, that’s how I view it.
