Why don't P2S make a auction topic where people can give points if they want it and that one person can send it off by post? A bit like ebay, but you can earn cash or points, you can choose.

It could work if the seller sends the item to P2S and they send it to the buyer though - that wouldn't be so bad.

It's the only thing P2S earns money with.... Implementing an auction system would cost P2S money, time and would mean extra work for admins as well.... It might even mean some users would just sell stuff to get points in stead of earning them by offers...

(This part would be mandated by the admin so that they could offset the cost of this themselves) The addresses part could be solved with a simple program to link users to their addresses so that if they were to conduct a transaction the user could simply sell/buy the ebay route. I'll give a mock run to conceptualize the idea. Say someone is selling their old Modern Warfare: Black Ops for 1200 points (depends on the actual amazon price) and the bidding eventually gets to 1509 or something along those lines. Points2Shop would pocket 45.27 points and the shipping would be paid by the winner. Points2Shop - 45.27 points. Seller - 1463.73 Instead of having Amazon be the middle man we could expedite the process by having users sell their own stuff here. The seller would have to give the UPS/USPS Tracking Number and the user who bought the item would wait for it to arrive, all without the need for the admin to approve the item. (In the case of seller fraud, the user could have a reputation meter like Ebay does.) I personally think it's an idea to give consideration to.
