Setting Up Account Funding

Every time your balance is low*, your payment source (PayPal account or credit card) will be charged the charge amount you specify to ensure that your account is not turned off. Please note that your payment source may be charged multiple times until your account balance reaches at least the prior three days' worth of click charges, or 3 times your account daily spending limit, whichever is lower.

*Note: Your account balance is low if it falls below the prior three days' worth of click charges. To keep your ads online, the prior three days' worth of click charges, or three times your account daily spending limit, whichever is lower, must be available in your account at all times in order.
