Well it shouldn't be closed for too long - they're probably just fixing a few glitches

I was just finishing up sending the prizes for my giveaway This leaves about 20 people without their prizes, and KinzPost was working fine for me all day.

Wonder what they are doing? Umm... why does it say Ganz E-Store there? What does that have to do with anything?

Oh no, lets hope that it's for a short time only! I still have so many Snow White items to deliver to the family. This definitely impacts the GE for sure. Not good timing on their part. Let's hope for the best!!! CJ

Quote:
Over the past few months we have seen a rise in the number of members who have been selling and auctioning off online items (such as pet specific items and exclusive items) and even whole Webkinz accounts.

We want to make it very clear that these practices are in direct violation of our User Agreement and are strictly forbidden. Any account used in the selling of online items or listed for sale or auction will be terminated, without notice, at our discretion. We are very serious about stopping this activity.

Note that this includes the practice of claiming that the virtual item sold is "free", while selling something of little value.

Members are free to conduct in-world trades of Webkinz World items as they choose, but for no outside compensation of any kind, financial or otherwise. Trading through KinzPost is not secure though and we do not recommend the practice. We will be adding a secure item-for-item trading feature to Webkinz World in the coming months.

We recognize that many items in Webkinz World are hard to come by and that trading may seem difficult, but we must ask that all members abide by the User Agreement and keep all item exchanges within Webkinz World itself.

Well know we know why, this was from Webkinz's Bulletinz section.

I just hope it doesn't take forever. Sometimes Ganz's "under construction" projects take take a long time to complete!

It is to fight the item Duplication and Selling techniques most likely. Ganz has really just begun to fight these things, and I'm sure there is more to come

That's been on their site for ages, though {literally months and months and months, I remember seeing it when I first got an account}. There are supposedly more recent issues but some not confirmed and next to nothing confirmed by ww so at this point no one is saying much. Also I wondered when I read that way back when about trading on wi, in fact, because technically at least it is against their TOS but ww {creative director and whoever else over there} have to know about it so I put it in the back of my mind for future reference or whatever.
