How to sell band merchandise on Facebook using Paypal and FBML

Watch in HD so you can see all the small type.

NOTE: Hey, I did this right before they changed the format of the page layout. Everything still applies but now instead of tabs you wind up with your choices to the left on the page.

From http://iamjimdier.blogspot.com (Jim's Sound Lab)

This tutorial will show you how to sell your own merch on facebook without using any other distributor or service. My band looked into a bunch of on line printer/distributors but could not find a good product at a price where we could make money. Instead we have purchased eco friendly shirts from a local source and are now fulfilling orders ourselves from orders that are placed through the new tabs created on our band facebook page created using the process shown in this video.

Apologies to MAC users for the "Right Click" references.

Hello mwalker5161. It appears that FB only lets you add one FBML page now. I just tried to add another and it would not let me. I have a different page I am admin for that does not have any FBML and it was the only page that showed up as an option when I chose "Add to your page" from the main FBML page.

Hey guys. I have not had a chance to look into the problems you are having too deeply yet.

With the new set up, I go to my band page, then click on edit page (upper right) and then I choose APPS from the left. From there I search for STATIC FBML and from there I can choose CREATE A PAGE (upper right)

This may all be different for me since I already had it all set up.

I will try to get more info.

Thanks for the kind words. I am hoping to update this so it looks more like the current facebook format after my band wraps our album. Check back and I will put up a video showing how I add our new album and t-shirts.
