Also if it were to be an open & regulated market, prices won't be so high or varied in comparison to what they would be if it were to be kept hush hush.
For players that spend a lot of time in game it gives them a chance to make some spare money, and for those who don't have such free time it gives them the opportunity to get the items they need. Also with a percentage going to the house it will help with server funding and possibly put a few pound into the pockets of the team.
10% wouldn't cover the costs of administration, let alone provide funds to aid the server in any way
That's irrelevant,
All of a sudden they have a vested interest in policing it which could take any amount of who knows what time.
After the buyer and seller have set up a deal it would need to be communicated to a GM, who would take the money into paypal then pass it over to the seller and the items to the buyer which would probably take around 30 minutes depending on complications/general chit chat from either party.
Now there are two paypal transactions involved so thats two lots of 3.4%+20p paypal fees, and 2 more invoices for the book keeper to address.
Any matter of complications may arise, lets say the buyer filters the items into the game and then creates a chargeback in paypal. What do the team do? Ban the potentially irrelevant buyer - ok who cares. Take the money back from the legitimate seller? - ok maybe they should but they they have to reimburse the items that got filtered into the game. So do they create new items, or steal them off the legitimate players that got the items off the illegitimate buyer?

these things dont need to be done with manual trade. it would be easy enough to setup an automatic trade for gg and real money without any middle man. lots of big mmorpg games do it

This.
Just because you have no skills Scorp!
And it was a random Arbitary number, but if accounts/items are going for £300-£600 then i am pretty sure £30-£60 would cover the 30-45 minutes the GM invests, probably only need to do 1-3 trades a month to cover the majority of the server costs.
