    Hello,

    When people buy virtual gold for his account over paypal, I need to manualy add his purchased gold to his account.
    Well I would like that to be automated, so dont need to be here 24/7.
    They are really rude if they dont recieve their gold in 10min and call us scammers and so on ... I'm sick of that.

    Is any way to do it automaticly?
    Thank you for all your help.

    Before you proceed with this idea, you should know that Paypal prohibits currency exchanges like what you do. Just be careful if you do not want to get caught.

    Virtual Currency is still currency. It would be best if you write directly to paypal and ask them if what you are doing is okay and how you can do what you do automatically. You probably need to see if the virtual gold system has some automated scripts which you can integrate with the Paypal IPN or API.

    If however what you are referring to is just virtual currency to be used in games then probably it might be okay since you are buying points. But if I were you, it would be best to check with paypal first to iron out any misunderstanding as they are very strict with their systme being used for currency exchanges or money laundering. In the past, they do allow currency exchanges if you have the licenses but they no longer support new requests anymore.
