Anyone having success charging for something on Facebook?
Also are there any numbers on how much money Facebook makes off the 'gifts' they sell?
I'm trying to decide right now between the prospect of charging a minimal fee for something and necessarily limiting my audience vs offering the service for free and attempting to make money off a large(r) audience with ads. I guess it is a question that most startups end up asking.
Does it seem like Facebook users are willing to spend money?

Micropayments may be an option; makes it feel like it costs almost nothing, yet is many times more profitable than ads. Kinda like they get you to impulse buy a candy bar at the supermarket checkout line.
What about selling it and letting the buyer worry about how to make money?
That isn't always an option (truth be told it isn't an option many people have).
just try it - and see what happens. Best way to answer the question.
Of course. Although if someone has rejected your application/service once due to cost, it can be difficult to get a second chance, even if it is free at that point.
