I created this account just to talk about the issues I'm having with Facebook.
I'm a beginner, trying to run ads on Facebook, but I keep getting restricted no matter what. Here’s what’s been happening. Right now, I’m feeling lost and thinking about using an old backup Facebook account or buying a Facebook business manager.
Situation:
I created a brand new business manager on my main Facebook account. I set up my pixel, connected it to Shopify, and started making a campaign. Since I was "testing my product," I took some clips from TikTok, edited them with CapCut, and made a total of 15 ads. Some of them used TikTok comment generators for my hook.
Here’s the problem: I think my first ad account got disabled because the TikTok comment generators included images of celebrities and "false claims" (I know, I should’ve read the Facebook ad policies more carefully).
So, it ended up being flagged for clickbait and false celebrity claims, and my account got banned.
2. Situation:
After my first ad account got banned, I decided to make a new one because, why not? This time, I removed the TikTok comment-generated hook videos and created a fresh set of ads. No more fake celebrity claims.
I kept the other ads the same as before. I created a new campaign, uploaded my ads, and waited. To my surprise, all of the ads got approved, and I thought I was finally safe from a Facebook ad account ban. But NO.
When I checked how my ads were doing, I saw that they were active but not spending any money. My daily budget was $50, so I added $55 to my account. Still, no spending. I decided to search for a solution on Reddit and YouTube. The only fix I found was to duplicate the campaign and restart it. When I duplicated the campaign, my ads got approved again. But for some reason, they got restricted. Now, I’ve lost $55, and there's no way to get it back. I can't even ask for a review.
3. Situation:
This is my third ad account. For this one, I thought to myself, “Maybe this one won’t get banned,” even though I already had two banned accounts linked to my name, which I’m pretty sure got this one banned too. I used the exact same ads that were approved before, but just a few hours later, my ad account got restricted again.
So, what’s the conclusion? It feels like I can’t run ad accounts anymore without having to create a new identity to avoid being flagged and banned instantly. Call me dumb, I’ll accept it and learn from this. I’d really appreciate any advice on how to avoid getting banned. I don’t plan on giving up or switching to a different business model. I want this to work, and I won’t stop until it does. I just didn’t expect Facebook ads to be the hardest part of running a business.
Also, I forgot to mention these:
Yes, my store is real.
Yes, my offer is legit.
Yes, my ads are real and not clickbait (after the first situation).
Yes, I’ve read through the policies (after the first situation).
Please let me know if I missed anything or what I could’ve done better. Also, please point out all the mistakes I’ve made. Sorry for the messy format and bad grammar.
