Sounds like they're going to be a place to buy/sell bitcoin and also accept bitcoin for payment for orders there.

This is big news, not sure if it's posted yet.

So what exactly can people do on that site now with bitcoin? (dont know the site and its not really clear)
Can they sell/buy items/currencys from all MMORPGs for bitcoin?

EDIT: Looks like its something like Silkroad, with escrow etc, just for MMORPG accounts/items/credits, right?
Nice!

Correct. You will now be able to buy anything from cd keys, game time, game accounts, game currency/items etc etc  all via bitcoin.

Now as someone that sells on playerauctions from time to time I really hope I can receive payment as bitcoin from what I read though only sounds like you can pay with it. Have to wait and see when it's fully released.

Bitcoin is accepted throughout their website right now. When you make a purchase, it shows up right next to credit card, paypal, and others.

Even better, Playerauctions list the total cost of your order as a base cost + fees. Bitcoin is noticeably cheaper to use to make your purchase than any other of the payment methods.


On top of that, the bitcoin exchange is running with a few sellers, which you can find here:
http://www.playerauctions.com/bitcoin-bitcoin/ (http://www.playerauctions.com/bitcoin-bitcoin/)

This allows you to buy bitcoins with a credit card.
Of course the prices are higher than other places, due to the lack of sellers, but it has been growing. There is also about a 5% fee for selling, so your price must be adjusted accordingly.
