Dropshipping and Facebook Account Problems In 2020

[ecomfly7]

Hi everyone,

First of all I wanna thank everyone on the forum for the value over the years. Even before I got into ecom I've spent countless hours on this forum researching how to make money through pretty much everything - Instagram, CPA, Affiliate etc.

This is what I've experienced with Facebook in the past few months while dropshipping and I wonder if you guys are facing or have had similar issues.

I've had a good amount of success in dropshipping and the first 2 years my main BM had over $400k in ad spend without any issues... until this year. Ever since COVID hit the postal services hard in April most of my pages dropped in feedback score and my main profile got restricted for circumventing policies (creating multiple pages) and that was it. After a few months it got permanently banned from Facebook.

I bought a verified BM and a US profile in the summer and everything was running smooth for 3-4 months (over $50k in ad spend) until my pages also dropped in score due to issues I had with one of my winners - banned also. (I wasn't using a VPN, new IP or anything - same everything except the browser)

A few days ago I purchased a new verified BM with a US profile and after connecting the BM to the profile I instantly got hit with a ID verification - I got a fake ID submitted and it passed the verification. Then I immediately get another verification, which asks for a webcam photo of the ID, so the account was basically done. Obviously they're detecting something even tho I was using a good VPN.

Now I'm thinking of getting a new laptop, new internet provider and to purchase a new verified BM and US profile like before - hopefully It will work and they won't detect anything.

Any other dropshippers here struggling with Facebook this year and what do you guys think might be the solution? I have friends that have dropped from literally making tens of thousands in a day to 0 because of Facebook, so I'm definitely not the only one affected. There seems to be many dropshippers switching to VPS, Proxies with Multilogin, Fresh laptop/ISP etc. What do you think?

I do dropshipping too, Few things you're doing wrong:
Avoid VPN at all cost, get a residential proxy or 4G proxy
No need to buy a new laptop, get multilogin you can manage 100's of account with a unique fingerprint as you have 100 pc's buying a new pc is pointless since FB is strict it might ban you on the new PC it makes no sense, Shoot me a pm maybe we can help each other as I said I do dropshipping too.

Obviously they're detecting something even tho I was using a good VPN.

There are no good VPNs when it comes to Facebook. No matter what the provider will tell you, having a VPN to run ads from a BM is always a risky thing to do.

Now I'm thinking of getting a new laptop, new internet provider and to purchase a new verified BM and US profile like before - hopefully It will work and they won't detect anything.

That's a start, but even with that, Facebook might again block you if they detect a certain pattern (same website being advertised, same pixel, same page...)

In my opinion, if with a stable budget and good campaign performance, then advertise on the agency account.It will help you to solve that problem.

Gonna have to get a fresh domain, pixel, page name and everything then...

Also I figured the VPN was leaking mate - from my own experience and from some of my mates.

Thanks for the tips mate appreciate it.

How much does it roughly cost to get a residential proxy setup? If i decide to setup a proxy then I don't need a new laptop and internet provider?
