Has anyone had the above? I put a set of wheels up for sale on there and the item got flagged as against their commerce rules. I appealed and it just came back denied.

I read their rules and can’t work out why - I’m not a trader, and there’s nothing offensive in the advert.

It happened to me with a guinea pig cage, the appeal worked though (the mention of guinea pigs flagged it up I think, I explained it was just the cage and no adorable rodents would be harmed by this Facebook advert).

Stealth ad for Wheels for sale in Bristol 🙂

low marks for not mentioning what wheels they are though, must try harder next time.

Yeah probably an automated keyword thing.

Is it a set of 4 16” steel wheels 114.3x5 6.5J with 38mm offset complete with winter tyres?

Perchypanther - nope!

Just seemed odd, sold a few things via that route and never happened before.

Stealth ad? Nah, if so I'd have sold my WTB st-i23 rims with el guapo and XT hubs a bit harder (26" size) 😈

nope!

Unfortunate. I'd have been all over it otherwise.

I've reposted the ad just saying planet X hub and it hasn't flagged up. Scotroutes - you may be right! I do have an ad for the wheels on the classified s here too.

That's what made me think it was something in the description. That could spell trouble for a whole load of bike bits from On One, Cove and others.

It always struck me as an odd brand name, but I didn't know it had those connotations!

Can someone explain without breaking the swear filter how its possible to give a self inflicted dirty Sanchez?

That would require two different types of flexibility!
