What are Facebook PZRD accounts and how do they work?

Affiliate chats are full of questions like “PZRD accounts — what is that?” or “Why would I need PZRD Facebook?” Let’s unpack the acronym PZRD (Passed ZRD), see how the advertising ban is removed, and understand why these profiles are valued higher than regular farm-accounts.

If you need solid trust right now, visit the PZRD accounts section — the ban is already lifted, a Business Manager is configured, and ads can run the same day you buy.

1. What Is ZRD / PZRD?

ZRD (Advertising Activity Restricted) is an internal Meta status assigned when a profile violates Ads Policy or triggers a financial-risk flag. An account with ZRD cannot launch ads, and any BM it creates flips to “Disabled.” PZRD (Passed ZRD) is an account that once had the ban but won the appeal. The system labels it “recovered” and boosts its Trust-Score.

  • The badge disappears from Account Quality in Ads Manager.
  • The billing limit usually jumps straight to $250.
  • Past creative violations don’t reset the status unless new complaints appear.

2. How the Ban Is Removed and Turns into PZRD

The most effective workflow:

  1. Appeal — open Account Quality → Request Review in your personal profile.
  2. Documents — upload a selfie, ID scan, payment receipt, or advertiser contract.
  3. Live chat — after 24 h ping support and reference the case ID.
  4. Review takes 1–3 days; once approved, the status flips to Active and the log shows Passed ZRD.

Tip. If the appeal drags beyond 72 h, create a new BM, transfer your Fan Page there, and run ads from the page. Sometimes this lets you spend before the official PZRD arrives.

3. How Media Buyers Use PZRD in Arbitrage

Niche Why Choose PZRD
Nutra / Betting High complaint rate → extra trust buffer
E-commerce Instant $250 limit, faster scale-up
Crypto offers Risk-Payment flag drops by ~25 %

The classic setup is: PZRD profile + Fan Page multi-GEO + mobile 4G proxy. This combo lets you push up to $1 000 per account before Meta asks for another check.

FAQ

How is PZRD different from a regular farm account?
A farm profile warms up from scratch, while a PZRD has already proven legitimacy and got extra trust, saving 3-5 days.
Can a PZRD get ZRD again?
Yes, for new violations, but the second ban is lifted faster — often one appeal is enough.
How much does PZRD cost?
On average, $15-25 more than a farm account with comparable parameters.

Bottom line: PZRD accounts are “rehabilitated” profiles with the ad ban removed. They give advertisers a head start in launch speed and spend limits. When rapid scaling matters, investing in a ready-made PZRD beats waiting for a fresh appeal.
