Today, we?ve received a letter in our digital mailbox from PayBox.Me, the payment processor known for giving money away. They?ve just launched a new feature called Paybox
Shop. An auction site that allows members to use their PayBox currency,
which many believe have and will have no or small value,  to make
payments.

Our much anticipated new features are now available in the form of the new PayBox Shop. This blog post is designed to be a guide to help you get started with the new features.
Important Issues?

First, let?s cover a few things to keep in mind when you begin using the new PayBox Shop features.
PayBox Shop is being run as a completely separate service from PayBox.me.
You will have to register as a new user on the PayBox Shop site.You may end up with a different username (if someone has already taken the one you want).Your PayBox Shop account balance will be completely separate from your PayBox.me account balance (but, you will have to fund your Shop account from your PayBox.me account).
PayBox Shop is in test mode, just like the rest of
PayBox. That?s why we have EarlyBird users. It?s your job to help us
test out our new payment processing service. PayBox Shop will be a fun
way to do that, but keep in mind, it may break from time to time ?
certain features may not work quite right or not at all. Our developers
have done their best to get things usable quickly, but we are aware of
a few current problems. For example, the ?forgot password? feature on
PayBox Shop does not work. When you create an account on PayBox Shop, be sure to write down and remember your username and password for your new account.We have NO customer service for the PayBox
Shop?yet. However, if things go well with the PayBox Shop, we would
like to begin hiring some customer service people to handle problems
people may be having. But, for now, there is no customer support.We are working to fix problems with PayBox Shop (like ?forgot password?), but it should be usable.
So what is it?

The PayBox Shop is an auction/store service that allows you to put up
items for sale, or purchase items from other PayBox users, using
nothing but your PayBox balance as the medium of exchange.
If you want to grow your PayBox balance, just put something up for sale. It could be anything (well, anything legal at least).If you want to spend your PayBox balance, just search for items that are for sale.
Special Features

Local Pick-up

We?ve added a few really great features to make things easier for buyers
and sellers. For example, when posting an item for sale, you can set
the Shipping Method to ?Local Pick-up Only?. That way, if someone buys
the item from you, you don?t have to worry about packaging the item or
paying for shipping.

If you?re a buyer, looking for a local item, the developers have added a wonderful Google Maps based Local Item Search to help you find all items that have been listed as ?Local Pick-up Only? in your area.

Digital Goods

In addition, you can select the category of Digital Goods and attach
Digital Goods to your auction. That way, only the person who wins your
auction will be able to download the item?and it will all happen
automatically. With Digital Goods, you just post the auction and leave
it. When the winner pays (with their PayBox.me account) they are
automatically given access to the item within the ?Won Items? area of
the website.
Real Auctions

You can post and bid on real items for sale.

BUYERS: If you bid on real auctions, you will be expected to pay the
amount you bid from your PayBox.me account to purchase the item. You
will also be expected to have real account information for the seller to contact you or ship the item to you.

SELLERS: If you post real auctions, you will be expected to sell the
item and (if it isn?t Digital Goods or a Local Pick-up) you will be
expected to ship the item to the buyer upon receiving payment from their
PayBox.me account.
Test Auctions

If you have nothing to sell, please post or bid on test auctions to help us test out our transaction processing, etc. However, if you post test auctions be sure to label them as TEST auctions.

In order to properly post test auctions, you can either list them in
Everything Else > Test Auctions, or you can put ?TEST? at the
beginning of the item title and clearly in the item description.

Well, if you haven?t already, please visit the PayBox Shop and create an account and poke around to see how it works. Again, if you post a test auction, be sure to label it with ?TEST?.

Have fun!

The site is currently being  inundated by clever people trying to get
rid of their Paybox Currency in exchange for real dollars. Which
obviously people trust more than currency they don?t know the real value
of. We?ll see how things progress and will definitely come back on this
case.
