Do people still do live sales on Facebook?

What’s the word reefing bird?
I read somewhere it’s against FB’s TOS to sell livestock now. It’s been a couple years since I’ve used Facebook so I’m out of the loop.
Can anyone shed a little light on this question for me?
Cheers.

Yes, but there's ways of getting around it, not that I would know tho... *snickers at getting a Clown Triggerfish for around 15-20 bucks*

It has been that way for awhile. There are local to me groups that do it, they just have ways to beat the filters. A couple of groups I'm in have a big list of words you are not allowed to use so it doesn't draw attention. Most common away around it is to edit your pictures with the price in the picture. I don't see too many live sales. Most do auctions that last a few days. One trend that seems to have slowed down, is doing raffles. That way the seller is guaranteed to get the amount they want for the coral and people that wouldn't pay $800 for a torch seem to be OK with entering every torch raffle at $20 a spot. I really hate raffles because for awhile it seemed like all the "rare" corals were being done this way locally. It has really slowed down and now the people running the raffles are doing what they call a mini raffle if the main raffle doesn't sell out. The mini raffle will have something like 20 spots and the amount will be around 1/2 of a spot in the normal raffle. They then draw a couple of names from the mini raffle and those then get a spot in the main raffle.

Of course these groups can still get in trouble if another seller from another group "turns them in" to facebook.
