Hi Folks,

Just asking if something like this is possible.

I am looking create a pay on demand system where a customer pays an object and receives an item (voucher). The customer can give this voucher to any other avatar and then that avatar can rez it, click on it and get paid.

Possible?

Possible. But be careful: The rezzed voucher can't very well llGiveMoney() because it didn't get permissions from the possibly offline seller when it first rezzed, so instead it will have to somehow communicate with something that does have the seller's permission. And one would want that communication to be not easily spoofed, lest seller end up in the poorhouse.

(A non-technical consideration: This all requires that the buyer have a lot of faith in the seller--and in the seller's L$ balance.)

That's true. I was thinking of an in-world object that would pay the voucher amount when it is clicked.
