^ Warning: The tactics listed above are black hat practices.

Buying fake Facebook accounts, auto-posting, and using "unofficial" APIs all violate Facebook's terms of service and could put your personal Facebook profile, Facebook page, ad account, and business manager at risk of being banned.

I mean, posting dealership owned vehicles to marketplace through individual accounts or sales person's personal accounts is probably against the rules too and could be considered "Black Hat Practices"

Along with 3rd party companies posting vehicles on behalf of a dealership.



Not saying I disagree with you or that your warning is valid, but.. this entire topic is gray area at best.

Posting dealership-owned vehicles on Facebook Marketplace through personal accounts IS allowed and not a gray area, that's why the dealership filter is still available:




However, buying fake Russian Facebook accounts, using virtual machines, automation scripts, VPNs, etc clearly violates Facebook’s terms of service.

I just wanted to make any dealers reading this post aware of the risks upfront. I don't think @Alex Snyder or @Jeff Kershner initially realized it was blackhat, so I'm sure other dealers may not know either.

You're not supposed to post cars from personal accounts even. Supposed to pay Facebook approved agencies to list it for you lol.

Definitely not supposed to scrape and list either.

Also definitely don't buy Russian accounts. It's better to buy aged USA accounts with posting history, real photos and photos of IDs for when you inevitably get restricted.

Facebook can cry me a river, not like they aren't low-key destroying society with social media after all. But yes, avoid automation tools if you are using your account tied to your BM.
