I'm not sure how you can make it work but it would be great if you could give and receive gift certificates for use in the marketplace. After three birthdays/Christmases in a row of me requesting cash as a gift for buying lenses my family would rather give a voucher. I would rather buy here than new mostly so it would be a great option to have.

Something for you mods to think about anyway!

We can do that for access, but not for actual money to spend. Wouldn't a paypal gift equate to that?

Yes, you could 'gift' money through paypal but it is just a bit more personal if the giver has input as to where the voucher is to be used.
I realize it would be a nightmare to implement from your point of view but would enhance the forum's features from a user perspective. Something to consider when you haven't got anything better to do.

It's not as much of an implementation as a management problem. We don't have the manpower to manage the books on something like this.
