I would *love* to create a working relationship with the game companies. Sadly, despite all the effort I have put into turning the existing out-of-game trading into a safe and efficient marketplace, I have received nothing but dead-air from most of them. Linden Lab has been very supportive. There Inc. has been supportive - just not publicly so. Mindark (Project Entropia) has given an unofficial nod with some fine print. Sony, Artifact Entertainment, CCP, etc. have said nothing. Their legal departments probably screened it and decided it wasn't worth the hassle. :) Now many (many many) people have suggested shipping something just to get around PayPal's policy. I have no doubt it would work just fine except for the added expense of a FedEx shipment on each purchase. Yes I'm sure it could be aggregated, but at present we only see 3 cents on the dollar. We would have to increase our fees substantially to cover those additional costs, and that would without a doubt drive our clients to our competition. We're looking at - or rather continuing to look at - all sorts of alternatives. Hopefully we'll be back to full strength shortly.
