Weekend Sessions: You Have Questions...I Have Answers

I've had a few questions pop up related to Facebook pages.  As I have nothing planned to post on Saturdays - but the number of hits the blog gets drastically drops over the weekend because of no posts - I figured today would be a good day to answer one of those questions.

There seems to be a lot of confusion over Facebook pages and admin ownership, and more importantly, about pages being tied to Facebook admin profiles and their PayPal Accounts.

There will be more guides and tutorials regarding Page Admins and what they can/cannot do, but first, I'll explain the link between page admins, pages and PayPal.

Anyone can create a page and add people who are their friends as Admins to that page.  The original page creator can add PayPal or a credit card to pay for promotion fees.  HOWEVER, other admins CANNOT use those payment methods to run campaigns.  Each admin has to put in their own payment information and they are individually charged for any campaigns they run.

So for an admin to "delete a page" because the page is "tied to their Facebook profile and PayPal account" is a bunch of BS.  They can remove their self as admin, then it is no longer tied to them.  If they do this without other admins, it will delete the page.  But if there are other admins on the page, deleting their self as admin will not delete the page.

So, ultimately, other admins cannot charge promotions to your credit card or your PayPal.  Each admin/manager is separate.  They must pay for their own promotions for their page.  They cannot see statistics for promotions any other admin has paid for, nor can any admin see the statistics for what they paid for.

Hope that clears things up.

Weekend sessions are blog posts that occur sporadically on the weekends and answer questions that have been submitted to the author.
