    yeh.. but so is wat were doing on this site... i just think you get ur ebay account banned if caught... and if u send messages about ur neo account to the other user through ebay, TNT will ice both accounts... but i think they usually exchange that info via email.

    i'm pretty sure TNT sweeps ebay. its such a common place to sell anything, they'd be foolish not to

    And it's way more risky purchasing nps on ebay than if you do it here.
    And that auction had 0 bids in case you missed that :p

    I used to look for people who had bought the neopets item codes on ebay (people spend hundreds of dollars on them) and then ebay message them offering to sell them NP. I'd then put up an auction called "Neo Auction for >Insert Name Here<".

    It is illegal and I stopped doing after someone spent about $400 with me and was then frozen - they tried to claim back their money, which I'd already spent - they lost in the end but I wouldnt risk it again. Also, you risk asking the wrong person if they want to buy and getting in trouble that way.

    But, my point is, I made over $1,600 in about 4 months doing it last year - bought myself a new car purely with NP sale monies. I used to buy them for about £4-5 per mil here and then sell them for £10-£15 per mil on ebay.

    I did get my accounts frozen for it in the end though o_0

    That's actually a great idea, I never thought of that. Over the past couple of weeks I've sold about 400 USD in Neopoints, with about 200 USD left, and offers of over 400 coming in for my account and pet.

    Though i've worked like 5-6 years to accrue all of it.

    It's probably just an expanded version of the 100k a day guides, name-dropping some games and sponsors you need to do, and then telling you how to restock.

    How does neopoint buying work. I'm interested in buying but I don't want to get my account froze by doing so. I'de like to buy between 5 and 10 m if its at the right price.
