have you ever benn tagged to some items for sales in fb? i just hate it when they are tagging me with those pictures and items that are for sale. then when i open my photos they are all there! right now theres this friend of mine ( actually officemate before ) who is requesting to be my friend, i only find out that it was she because i checked on the pictures first, until now i still havent accepted her as my fb friend because i dont want to be tagged with her items!
how about you guys? how do you feel about online shops tagging you with all the items that are up for sale?

well, in a nice way, just send her a message that you don not want to be tagged. i understand. i am selling in facebook, but i dont tag photos of my items to friends unless they requested for it. like you, tagged photos irritates me, there was were times where i was tagged with items by other facebook sellers, of curse their intention was to show their items to my friends, so my friends started sending me messages asking details of the items, since that incident on, i untagged my name every time i get a tagged photo, in that way they understood that i dont like it. there is another way to totally eliminate taggers, customize, in facebook's privacy settings there is a selection there if you wished to be tagged or not. one more thing that office mate of yours is now wondering how come you haven't add her yet, to avoid misinterpretations you could just add her and after a while, you could just remove her from your friends list without her noticing it. happy mylotting!

amore2208 is right, you could just configure your privacy setting just like what I did. But it will still appear on your page because the only option Facebook has is not to show those tagged photos to your entire friend list except you. I could understand the pain of that but being an online seller myself in Facebook, I really need to tag random people on my listnot mentioning I have a substitute user on my account who does the tagging during weekdays when I am here in the office. Reason is that, it's our way of getting our items noticed and catch up with our sales. I bet that they know that I am an online seller and that can't be helped or avoided. If they don't like the thought then they can remove me freely with no hard feelings at all. Either they accept my friend request or I accept their friend request means they are opening up the thought of being associated with me since I have set my facebook photos, albums and walls to public which is not hard to figure.

A lot of my friends in facebook tagged their item into my facebook. But they always said that if just i dont mind it. So if i mind that, then i just can remove the tag from their photo tags. Sometimes the online shops its really annoying with their items, but sometimes maybe you can need one of the item that they sale to you. =D
If you dont want to be taggged with her items, maybe you can remove her tag when she tag you. Because usually online shop will tag many people, so if you remove the tag, she wont know it unless she checks it.

I do online selling and recently I started selling on fb. I am aware of tagging of items for sale in fb. So I set up an fb account only for my business use. One of my friends in by fb business account tag me for her items and I also do the same. I tag her with my items but only after she confirmed that it is fine to do it.
If it is my personal fb account that they are tagging I feel not good about it. They should first seek my approval before doing it.

That happens to me too. It's just a way for them to get my attention, i guess. They don't even care if they're tagging women's clothes. When i open my album, i see a lot of women's clothing. That's just embarrassing.

Luckily not yet 
. I am not really an online shopper so I don't add these sellers or stores on my account. If I want to buy something I rather go to ebay since seller there are rated, and the site itself do have good security for buyers.
I admit I do see some of the products on which my friend are tagged too.

I've never experienced this because I have not started a sale on the social networking site
