 First off I just wanted to say that I'm not trying to go after anyone who does this personally.  If you use paypal to buy/sell thats all fine and good with me.  What I dont agree with is people using the marketplace forum to advertise for their own personal gain for real cash outside of the game economy unless you are selling everything and leaving.

I understand why many are doing it, only because there are certain things

that they want that they can only get through paypal from someone else, who also needs real cash to buy something they want.  It's an endless cycle and none of this money ends up in the hands of the developers, or back into the game economy. If i just spent $100 on an wii you can be damn sure i wont be spending any money on respect or favors any time in the near future.

Keep your paypal adds off this forum,  use your profile and private messages to advertise your own business.  (unless you are quitting the game and selling all your stuff)   Failure to do so could result in sniping, attacks, spying, muggings, and/or but not limited to turbo cell raids.

Co signature confirmed. Why the hell is anyone going to pay fake cash and items for shit when they can comfortably sit and paypal it. Coals, toilets, consoles, playboys, all mad rare, but should be for the most part kept in the economy of prisonblock, backroom deals are unstoppable and I'm sure went on before whiskey paypalled his shit off causing this upsurge in paypalling; but putting it in the forums like it's a business - and people literally saying they're doing it because they're backed on bills and shit - gives everyone ideas, if they get something nice, they're probably going to try n get some cash for it. And it's getting worse, some dude trying to fucking paypal a dumbbell the other day. Why? Because everyone else is doing similar shit.

People always use excuses with it too. "I put money in the game--" let me cut you off right there. YEAH you did, your own choice why the fuck are you trying to make it back at everyones fucking expense, this aint ebay. Besides all that money could be used for favors instead, which helps everyone, and isn't used to fill someone's wallet.

I Definately agree with this forum. Game iTems should be kept and purchased with GAME money...not real money. And personal shit should not be exploited all over the forums.

Last day i was also thinking as same, if i pay money to the amenities owner, why would i will pay to the developer of the game? and this made me realize why things start getting expensive day by day, like i read some where, previously, the respect for 1 month was for just 5$, and now its a bit expensive, similarly many cell amenities got expensive

Your hard work is paying off! You've reached level 8!

I stradle the fence on this one... I agree with everything Henny said though.
