This guide is to help young people get moneys off of online games (mmorpg) while they are playing.

Follow the steps to know how, what, when, etc...

What? What kind of mmorpg can I make moneys off of? What kind of items can I sell?..

There are many mmorpg all over the internet, but choosing the money making one is kinda hard. When choosing a mmorpg, please apply it to the following rules and ask your self

1. Is the mmorpg new and popular? and is it on ebay? If the mmorpg is not on ebay then it would not sell and you can not make money off of it. Most of the time new mmorpg that is popular will attract a lot of new people. Most of the time, people will get rid of their old mmorpg accounts and join new popular mmorpg. This is where you come in selling accounts and ingame items such as gold

2. Does the mmorpg have an item mall now or later on? This question will determine whether you make fast or slow, more or less. When a mmorpg have a item mall you can purchase items from it, then sell it back to regular people in game whose can never get it unless they have a credit card or paypal. About 90+ percent of the people in game have no credit cards or paypal. This people are usually in foreign countries or at their mid teenage age. By investing some money in the items from the itemmall you would gain back game currency such as gold. Thus then you will auction this gold on ebay to get you money back and profits.

What happen if the server is getting way to old? And/or I not making much profit off of it?

If the server is getting too old then I recommend that you should create a new character in a more newer server than the last one. But not too new remember that. New server have low economic system but their currency are more valuable then old server such that 1mil in old server might be worth 5USD but in new server 1mil could worth 7USD+

How? How should I know what price I should sell the items from the item mall for? How should I know what is the start bid price on the gold,etc.. when I enter it on ebay?

The amount of in game currency that you should sell the items depend on two parts.

First part is to know how old the server is? If it is an old server then you should charge for the item as high price because in old server the economic is high. If it is a new server then you should charge the items a little bit lower than normal pricing. If it is in the middle just charge it normal pricing. I would highly recommend that you should sell items in the middle class server, not too old or new. Most or all of the time old server and mid server have same economic status, but the mid server always have higher value currency then old server.

Second part is to follow how much is leveling companies charges for the ingame currency per million, usually. Or if there is no leveling companies for that mmorpg, you have to see and estimate the pricing of other sellers like you on ebay and in game. Your are not the only person doing this.

When should I stop selling ingame items from a certain mmorpg and move on?

You should stop sellling ingame items and move on to another mmorpg when you feel that the game is getting too old and/or become less popular (this is in which you have to do a little bit of research at game websites to see list of top mmorpg). I would recommend not  to quit a mmorpg unless it getting unpopular. Before quiting a mmorpg you must find another a mmorpg first and see if it fit all or most essential requirements that I listed above. I also recommend to pick that mmorpg that have high graphic and gameplay. For even faster money making, I would also recommend that you do this for multiply mmorpgs.

Important Notes

1. If you are intending to play the mmorpg and sell at the same time remember to make 2 accounts. One account for playing and the other for selling. Most mmorpgs will ban you if you sell in game items for real money so keep that in mind.

2. Do not auction little by little on ebay, but auction it big with quantities or pricing if you intend to create an auction once a wk. For example if you are intending to sell 10mil gold for certain game, you should place quantities on the 10mil, like 1mil with 10 quantities in one auction. Or just auction on 10mil of gold without quantities. If you want to auction then do it big or you will end up losing much of your profit due to the ebay fee per auction.

3. Add in the auction fee to your start bid price, so you will not loss anything

4. I specially recommended that you have a paypal account and some money in it for starter. You can create a paypal account at its website and sell your game account for some money. No credit card needed.

My Experiences

I spend 40USD in maple story selling nx cash and gain back 80+USD in auction on the meso that I got from the nx cash.

I spend 50USD on silkroad online and gain back 110USD back in one wk
