16 quid for a burger? Do one, Philip.
Wanting to slate it, but actually seems like a good service if you are in the FB ecosystem and it gets integrated well with the app.
I wonder how much protection they offer once the buy/sell groups inevitably start hammering it and there is a dispute.
Facebook analytics says: Last time this guy was shaken down £16 for a burger and only took 3.29s to pay up, we suggest charging him £18 next time. We have his real-time GPS co-ordinates, we can warn you when he walks through your door.Quote:

Given the sheer number of scams that operate through facebook, and bots/fake users on their messenger service, you can bet that it will be a popular tool for fraudsters :(
I will stick with paypal aside from scams in facebook etc, Paypal takes a few mins-hours to transfer money to my bank, rather than the 1-3 days of this system.
tbh, I can log on to internet banking and transfer someone the money faster than 1 - 3 days. In fact, that's how I make the vast majority of person to person payments nowadays. Paypal only gets used for ebay, big fish games, and people who absolutely refuse to give me their bank details...Quote:

And that's the real cost right there - time...
How does Facebook make money on this? (And it does) - through the interest on all the transactions held for the 1-3 days before settlement.
