Also, partially related: who wants a signature? Just include what you'd like it to look like in your post. :eagerness:

Thanks! Think I might set up shop in the art section after I make some examples.

Imo it's the same as selling/buying gold for irl money, because basically you're selling an irl item for an ingame items.. But this is legit (draws) and the other thingy isn't (sel/buy gold) lol somehow...

A counter argument could be made that since the signature is still virtual, it is not an IRL item.

Most of SIG's are made by art shops on forms for exchange of gold and item in game.
Yes it's allowed.

Since signature/art/etc. isn't in game currency the risk of being scamed is high.

To be honest, it is (or can easily be) a very safe transaction. I've seen sig makers post the requested signature with a watermark on it, to see if the buyer is satisfied with it. Once they're paid they remove the watermark.
The buyer most likely doesn't want a sig with the watermark on it, and the sig maker wouldn't lose anything by giving the full product. Except for credibility, which is bad for him.

Moreover, it's a public thing. Every Forumer can see that so-and-so is doing his job honestly.

I don't think signature buying should be removed, it's always a pleasure to see AL art (in every form).

If anything, it's the sig maker who risks the most, potentially spending time for something the buyer ultimately isn't satisfied with.
