Facebook now requiring $50,000 monthly spend on ecommerce sites wanting local support
Online social giant Facebook is now requiring ecommerce businesses who want on-the-ground Australian support to spend a minimum of $50,000 a month, Mumbrella understands.
Facebook has conceded it has imposed the minimum spend at its Australian operations after emails were sent to customers, including takeaway delivery service Eatnow.com.au.
But it insists the required minimum spend is not across all categories.
“We don’t have a minimum spend level across Facebook Australia,” said a spokeswoman for Facebook.

Their ‘support’ is useless anyway

Hi BD,

Company imposes sensible parameters to enable it to scale efficiently, with clearly defined terms of service; hold the front page.
Plenty of traditional companies could learn from this.
Alex, I think BD’s comment was in response to the FB privacy hoax doing the rounds this week that had to be cut and paste, and not shared
Thanks Ben, indeed they were. I’m kind-of disappointed the Mumbrella team didn’t pick up on that.
