How to prevent Facebook from blocking your ads account?

Hi,

So after two years I finnalygot my personal facebook ads account back. I used my personal facebook ads account to run a Free promo for an Amazon product. I am not sure what caused the blocking of my account but here are some reasons:

-Paypal
-Changed the ad to often
-Not my real name on Facebook
-Logging in through mobile

I think it is the last one.

So after I got my account back I created new account through Business Manager and got a new credit card. I also donwloaded facebook ads for mobile.

I want to start running ads for drop shipping and I don't want to get my account suspended again.

Are there any tips, major or minor to help prevent this?

Thanks in advance !

Don't touch any stuff FB possibly find suspicious, unfortunately this is subjective and tons of things could trigger a ban instantly.
One thing that's probably key to avoid any flags is to create ads which have high value/interaction/engagement.

Some ways to help prevent faulty flagging (if you run naughty ads, not much that can save your account, just to be clear):

1. Use a legit business, act as if you were an agency (Business Manager, business emails, legit CC and PayPal, preferably also the company is incorporated in a trusted jurisdiction).
2. Use the same devices to log in. Don't try the workarounds that some BH affiliates do and use VPNs and such. A normal user will have a few devices, they will log in their personal FB on one or more of those devices.
3. Enable 2 factor authentication - helps show you are a real person and it's also an extra layer of security.

All the stories I've heard from people running BH don't really apply for a white hat ecommerce venture. I even managed to get in touch with a real support person even though our daily average spend is minuscule (still in "figuring things out" phase). It was not a template message and they even tried calling my phone beforehand, unfortunately was on a flight and couldn't answer then.

In summary, FB is not evil if you are not trying to break their rules.

Was your mobile on your wifi connection, or data? Facebook can sometimes flag an account if an ad account is new and the IP range switches. However in your case it seems a little unlikely - what do you mean by 'free promo for amazon product '? If you used a shared tracking link it could have been the problem. What did your 'ban' email say?

As long as your ads are having a positive user response they're not going to have any problems with you, dropshipping is without a doubt one of the safest ways to run on Facebook.

yeah, I think it was data, not sure anymore. After that I got an email of unusual activity. The amazon promo was just a free product, I direct linked to leadpages.
