Are selling Facebook shout outs against their terms & conditions?

    I have a few gigs on Fiverr including one that I sold shout outs on one of my Facebook pages but a few weeks ago I got notice that my gig was deleted. I inquired with Fiverr support to find out I violated terms & conditions of Facebook however I can't find anything in their terms that would support this. I sent three more inquiries to Fiverr asking to state the Facebook term or condition that was violated and they would not provide it. I did notice most of the Facebook shout outs are now removed from Fiverr except those with titles like I will promote your business. I have searched up and down in Facebook help and the web and can't find an answer to this. I certainly don't want to lose my Facebook page so can anyone confirm if selling shout outs on Facebook is a violation of their terms and conditions and can you provide the specific term or condition?

    Yes its against FB TOS.
    You're risking your FB account to be ban.

    That's what I thought. Do you have a link that states those terms by chance?

    I don't have a link but I read it somewhere on a facebook official blog or something like that that it's against terms. Because facebook wants to sell ads and get that revenue and not let you have it for fiverr gigs ...
