Has anyone used Facebook pay for anything? I haven't ran into any instance of it. My main question is... can you buy a Facebook card with a balance on it and use that to pay? That would be enough to make me consider using Facebook to pay for things. I'm not giving them my debit / credit cards though.

How would you add a balance on facebook without a card?

I guess they are called Gamecards. I guess some people forget but Facebook has had games for ages. They sell cards to pay for in-game stuff.

Back to my initial point / question: I was asking if you could use those to fund your Facebook account to buy stuff through Facebook, sort of how you can do with Amazon gift cards. What I'm getting at is basically: another avenue to pay for things without (oh this is funny) exposing your personal finances to yet another website.
