Originally posted by shawshank unsigned,2 things,how can u(or mu)get rid of private deals?private deals outside the confines of pb cannot be controlled,and how does pb staff know whats been "private dealed"?..i mean it sounds utopian in theory "get rid of paypal"..but what control does pb have to make that happen?hypothetically if i sell u a ps3 for $50 paypal then list it for u for 2 million..pb thinks i got 2 million,thats it..they have no knowledge of an outside transaction via paypal...i'm just wondering,what kind of controls could be put in place?

You probably aint gonna stop it 100% but I know lots of games that dont allow it and ban people if they get caught doing it. All they got to do is tell 1 wrong person and be found out.

exactly.... no one is forcing u to buy stuff with real cash, thats ur choice.... the game was designed to trade with game cash/items so if u decide to use paypal its at ur own risk.... all high level buyers can easily come up with a few mill to make a safe transfer... and low levels can ask around to find out whos safe to deal with and who isnt.... if u get sniped or scammed, 99% of the time its ur own damn fault

Precisely. There's no real way we can police who you trade with outside of the site. If you choose to do that, that's your business and your risk. We will NOT get involved in ANY user transactions.

That said, we do plan to allow 2 things in the (possibly near) future:

  1. Selling items for favors
  2. Locking a sale to a specific user for X minutes after posting

Both options should make it simpler and safer to trade high ticket items between users, and if you have to buy in favors, it's probably safer too.

Number 2 would help alot mu, that way we can get certain amenities to friends or buyers with a higher confidence level without the worries of snipers.

Favors market sounds cool, you could even make an items market leaving the risks there for all other ways.
