re: Can you freeze raw oysters?

In the fridge - I would not trust them longer than a day or two maybe three.

They last a lot longer than this. Resaurants use them up to 10-14 days after harvest date. Oysters have a long shelf life.

You just have to keep them cold and iced up. According to HACCP guidelines you should keep them around 40-45degrees F. It is hard to do this in a regular fridge without ice in the bucket which makes it kind of a pain to keep draining it and icing it but will definitely prolong them. Wholesale seafood companies keep them packed in ice inside of wax boxes until they hit the restaurant.
