Usability expert Jakob Nielsen wrote a solid proposal for micropayments back in 2001. I don't think anyone has ever seriously tried to implement his idea, so until someone does try we won't know if it could work well.

I think the fact that zero people, including Nielsen, have made a go of Nielsen's proposal in the fifteen years since speaks pretty strongly to its viability.
