Authors: A Warning About Facebook Ads

[Benjamin Sobieck]

This seems to be not isolated to my experience, since there are scores of threads online about how facebook is mismanaging its ad system. Once you open an ad account, it requires you to enter a billing method. However, I cannot close my ad account or remove that billing method. I've tried a million ways. I can't.

 

Seems scammy.

 

They also billed one of my advertising campaigns to my credit card when they should've done it to a coupon they e-mailed me. I sent no less than six letters through their help system (suspiciously, they do not offer a customer service phone number), and resolved nothing beyond an automated "We'll look into it" message.

 

Lots of authors consider facebook. My advice: Don't waste your time.
