Hi Julie,

Ha! You are funny... actually almost everyone who sees our pages previously had no idea that you could build the types of things we do on Facebook, so you are most certainly not alone :)

This is actually something we commonly build for our clients :) We've bee using "buy now" links since I launched Socialbees (11/11/08) and they have been very effective for us personally.

Sarah,
Sorry to only have bad news about this, but the answer to both questions is no.
