So I set up a new campaign with yahoo. I set my daily budget at $10 because my wife is due to have a baby and I dont want things to get out of control before I see if this campaign will work. Well I get home tonight and my account has gone through $600!! WTF!!!
 


Are you using the new yahoo system (panama) or are you still on the old system?

Either way I think Yahoo is probably gonna give the same lame excuse that it "takes 1-2 days for your budget to adjust and it may go over or under". I've gotten that response and it is absolute bs that they can't just put a cap on their system. Adwords and Adcenter have never gone remotely overbudget for me.
 
Yahoo is a bunch of fucking thieves... Make sure you monitor EVERYTHING. Including where they are sending traffic from. They'll put you on there content network even if you got that turned off.

haha, I just relized who posted this... hey black... Just give it up... these friggen companies HATE YOU! adwords banned you and yahoo stole your money.

You my friend are one unlucky man.
 
yeah that has happend to me also, email them and they will refund

that just happened to me too, pause your account and call them up and get it refunded

watch if u do pause it cause if u pause it will run again next month, cancel if u dont want it to run again, i kind of got screwed with that. thought when u hit pause it whouldnt run till u unpause it.
 
Does anyone read the billing FAQs before signing up for these services? It's pretty clear how the budgets and auto-billing works.
