I was trying to utilize paypal's "sell on social" tool. I created a listing, and clicked on facebook to get the link. I am logged in to my facebook business page. I get a pop up window with an error reading, "User opted out of platform: The action attempted is disallowed, because the user has opted out of Facebook platform." What does this mean, and how do I fix it? I tried google searching it, and the only results I found, the steps don't work for a business profile, the settings they point to don't exist. I tried adding PayPal as a payment option in my business options, but that made no difference. I'm hoping someone has a solution that can help me. TIA
