Facebook issue -- Using a Virtual Assistant to list vacancies

I gave my assistant access to my Facebook account to post and respond to inquiries and Facebook said that we broke their rules and that I cannot post on the marketplace.  

The ad copy was pretty much the same as what I have posted many other times so I am not sure why they had an issue with it other than possibly they didn't like that her IP address was in the Philipines. 

I often have over 100 inquiries but 95% don't meet the minimum requirements that we list in the ad so it is very time-consuming to reply and get the basic info needed. I was hoping the VA could help with this but I am not sure how to do this with getting another account banned.

    Facebook does not allow real estate listings from business accounts any more. This started a few months ago. You can still list them on your business page, or you can share them to marketplace using a personal page.
