Google Checkout: Better Than PayPal
So you're selling an online currency like Gaia gold or Neopoints. You want to sell quickly because you need the money to pay your rent, which is due in a few days. And the buyer wants to finish quickly so they can buy an item that someone is selling cheap. They tell you that they'll pay you via PayPal. A day goes by. Nothing.
You PM them to ask what's taking so long. You get back something like:

So the buyer loses the item, which gets sold to someone. He eventually dies due to stress from not having that item.
You get evicted from your apartment. You end up on the streets with no food, no money, and only a laptop to scrounge free WiFi off of Starbucks with. Eventually, you die due to a mixture of SARS, Bird Flu, and genital herpes.
Has this ever happened to you? If you want to avoid the pain and hassle of waiting almost a full week to get access to you're money, you've come to the right place.
That's right - there's an easy way to send and receive money instantly. It's called Google Checkout. Yes, Google. The same people who brought you awesome e-mail, made it possible to hack via their search engine, and allowed you to spy on your neighbor's with a satellite.
How does it work?
Basically, magic. You press a button, enter your credit card info, and click send money. Then, the CEO warlocks over at Google (read: Criss Angel) zap your money magically from your bank account into the seller's bank account. Google Checkout is also proven to work by science. Real science, folks.
So how can you get it? Follow a few simple steps.
1. Get a Google account. Go to
www.google.com. Click "Sign In."
2. Click "Create an account now."
3. Fill in your desired info and then click "Submit."
4. Now, type in "Google Checkout" into the search bar. And hit enter. Click the result seen below (it should be first).
5. Re-enter your password and sign in. You will have to validate your account. To do so, go to the e-mail that you used to register your account. There should be something from Google. Click the link inside. After you've done so, fill out the form for Google Checkout. Click enter at the bottom.
6. Congrats! You can now buy things easily with Google Checkout. A storeowner must simply send you their link and you can buy their product. No waits; you can send money immediately. It's basically just ordering with your credit card.
If you want to sell something with Google Checkout, you need to follow a few more steps.
7. Go to this URL:
http://checkout.google.com/sell/ 
8. Click "Sign In Now." You should be signed in from before. Otherwise, enter your Google account and your password. Then, hit enter. You'll see this screen:
9. Click yes and yes. Enter your password. Verify all the contact information. You want "Under 1000" per month and Credit Card Only.
10. You will need to specify a bank account. If you don't, you won't be able to receive money.
11. Go to "Tools" and "Buy Now Buttons."
12. Select your options. For most currency sellers, you'll probably want a "Buttons with options." Then, you can fill out each option for a different amount of gold. When you're done, hit the "Create Button Code" to get your code in HTML. This is what you get when you click that button:
13. You're done! You can now buy and sell gold with Google!
NOTE:
When BUYING with this method, it would be wise to either only buy from a trusted member of the community or use a middleman. Wait for the middleman to confirm receiving the currency, pay, wait for the seller to confirm receiving the money, and then the middleman will send the currency to you. This way, no one can get scammed.
