What is vFlyer?
vFlyer is an online service that enables you to create standardized, professional-looking classified ads and have them posted to the leading classified websites -- in minutes! We provide professional design templates to help you create eye-catching ads and our advanced software enables you to quickly and easily expose your vFlyer to a large audience, both online and offline.

Why should I sign up for vFlyer?
There are numerous reasons to open a vFlyer account. Here are just a few of them:
  • vFlyer makes creating compelling, professional marketing content for your products and services fast, easy, and even fun!
  • With a vFlyer account, you can create an advertisement once and have it appear on multiple online marketplaces and classified ad sites instead of painstakingly creating a separate ad for each website.
  • vFlyer allows you to post the flyers you create to Craigslist and eBay, making your posts on those sites stand out from the rest.
  • Each flyer you create is in fact a single-page website unto itself. Thus you can easily link to and even embed your flyers in your website, blog, or social network profile.
  • vFlyer allows you to do much more than simply create flyers and have them sent to different online marketplaces. It also enables you to email the flyers you create to potential customers, generate printable PDF versions of your flyers, leverage the content in your flyers to create embeddable widgets for your website or blog, and much more!
Who can open a vFlyer account?
Any online seller can open an account with vFlyer. We currently support over 45 product categories covering a wide range of products and services and are continually increasing that number.

How much does vFlyer cost?
The vFlyer offers a free, ad-supported service as well as a number of affordable subscription options. Click here for more information on pricing.

Can I pay by the month or do I need to pay for an entire year of service?
We offer both monthly and annual subscriptions, so you can choose to sign up for whichever subscription best fits your needs. With a monthly subscription, you will be billed at the start of each month of service. With an annual subscription, you will be billed for the year at the time of signing up.

If I sign up for a free account now, can I upgrade to a business subscription later?
Absolutely! You can upgrade your account at any time.

What do I get from opening a vFlyer business subscription that I don't get from the free account?
There are a number of benefits that come with a vFlyer business subscription beyond simply being able to create more flyers than in the free account. Here are a few of them:
  • Access to vFlyer's premium flyer layout, with a built-in Flash photo slide show
  • The ability to upload up to 25 photos per flyer (as opposed to just 10 with a free account)
  • The ability to embed a video into your flyers
  • Access to the premium Craigslist flyer layout
  • The ability to bulk upload data for your flyers
  • The ability to email your flyers to up to 100 recipients at a time (as opposed to just 10 with a free account)
  • The ability to purchase domain names for your flyers and Account Profile through our DomainPlus service
  • Access to premium widgets
  • Mobile flyer capabilities
What does "ad-supported" mean?
If you have a vFlyer Personal account, keyword-targeted ads by Google will appear on the pages associated with your flyers.

What's the difference between "Active Flyers" and "Total Flyers"?
"Active Flyers" are flyers that are currently published. "Total Flyers" refers to all the flyers in your account: flyers that are currently published, in draft form, and that have expired. If you unpublish or delete an active flyer, you can replace it with another flyer. Once you delete a flyer, it doesn't count towards either your active or total flyer limits.

How long does it take for my listings to appear on these websites?
It usually takes 24-48 hours for listings from our site to appear on our partner sites like Oodle and Google Base.

Do the flyers I create automatically get posted to Craigslist?
No. Autoposting to Craigslist is not allowed. We do autopost to other classifieds sites, including Backpage. With Craigslist, we provide you with Craigslist-friendly HTML code for your published flyers that you can easily copy and paste into a Craigslist post. This enables you to create a professional looking post with up to 25 gallery photos (or 10 for free accounts) instead of the four allowed for standard Craigslist posts, with the added benefit of only needing to upload the photos once instead of each time you post your Craigslist ad.

If I wanted to cancel my vFlyer subscription, how would I do that?
While we hate to lose your business, we understand that our customers' marketing needs can change over time. If you want to cancel your vFlyer subscription, simply send an email to support@vflyer.com indicating the email address associated with your account or your account name and when you want us to cancel the subscription. Unless you tell us otherwise, we will downgrade your account to vFlyer Personal, the free account we offer. You will receive a confirmation email once your account has been downgraded.
