Hi Bob,
For monthly advertising campaign budgets under $25,000 we offer Facebook Flyers. Flyers are a great way to reach your target network(s) online.
You can choose which schools or locations and the amount of flyers that would be most beneficial to your campaign. The number of flyers you can purchase on each network varies depending on the number of users. Your campaign can last anywhere from 1 day to 1 month. To learn more about flyers, please visit http://www.facebook.com/flyers.php. Let me know if you have further questions.
Thanks for contacting Facebook,
Autumn
Customer Support Representative

Looks like they must be using the same support people as eBay..... |
