Entropia Universe bidding war leads to $12,000 payout for newbie

The most amazing thing about this is that there are people playing Project Entropia with so much cash to throw away.

But then the big question is, how does one cash out from PED to Dollars? You don't! Paper value in-game is difficult to transfer over to the real world without deep discounts in value.

Actually, it's real simple. You click the Withdrawal button. 3-6 weeks later, you get a check.

They also have "debit" cards, although it's been touch and go with them for quite some time. If you have one though, I've heard priority withdrawal requests take as little as 14 days.

Mike is quite correct. Entropia is designed with cash deposits and withdrawals in mind. It's literally as easy as pressing the withdraw button, stating how much you want to take out, (remember 10 peds = $1 plus expect a small withdraw fee) and just wait a few weeks. Folks are depositing and withdrawing cash into and out of this game every day.

I love the fact that I don't have to hassle with selling something on ebay and then meeting some bloke ingame, etc. etc. Even the withdraw fees don't bother because they're quite small and considering you're often dealing with country to country bank/wire transfers, I totally understand the need.
