    Default Facebook blocking eBid picture links

    Trying to add my YDC listings to my Facebook page using the URL link, and keep getting this message:

    Name:  Facebook_blockingeBid_text.jpg
Views: 116
Size:  16.2 KB

    But if I load the image direct from my PC hard drive, then add description - no problem.

    Haven't tried via the Facebook tab on the eBid listing page - yet.

    I have tried to use the FB tab on eBid listings and the image wont show on FB (it used to) so I go the manual route instead. More time consuming I know. I have no problem with other selling sites.

    I received several Facebook notifications yesterday saying they had removed my posts of listings because they classed them as spam.

    They posted using the share button here

    This seems to be a growing problem - never used to happen

    Oh right...if I don't get banned from somewhere for a while then I think I am losing my street cred.

    Having posts shot down by Fred Puller isn't really the same

    It would seem Facebook have taken a disliking to our image hosting server.

    We have contacted them asking why this is but in the mean time there is a link "let us know" on the error page that links to a one box form that can be submitted to Facebook to alert them to the fact they have made a mistake.

    Thanks,

    Thanks for that Gazza. I always reply to the reports now and I hope that enough people do this that things might change
