Facebook’s own in-house currency, Facebook Credits, has really taken off since the leading social network insisted that all game apps on the Facebook platform accept the credit for in-game purchases.

To buy virtual goods and services in Farmville, or your favorite time-wasting Facebook game app, just click the Facebook Credits option in the payment selection screen when you go to buy the items. First, though, check that you’ve got enough credits in your Facebook account and stock up if you need more.
