If they start allowing the sale of non-digital goods on Facebook, they had better drop the 30% cut
Agreed, 30% is a ludicrous amount for anything outside of Facebook. Now, if they could offer comparable rates to PayPal, I for one would sign up overnight. Is it that crazy to think that they could topple PayPal's current monopoly on low-end[0] payments?
[0] I couldn't think of a better way to describe it, but if you aren't based in the USA, UK, Australia etc, there aren't a lot of options for getting your first buck for your web app etc.
flattr.com? They hail from Sweden, and are quite eurocentric.
I've only had a brief look, but it seems like a fairly unsatisfactory way of implementing billing for a web app. I accept that I could be missing something obvious - can you let me know if I've got it wrong? :)

You're right, I'm sorry.
It lets you transfer small amounts on the web, but it's not for billing.
