How would you go about "processing transactions offline"? Sounds like

Absolutely! The amount of overhead in manpower varies with a direct
relationship to the number of sales. But it is another way. ;-)
From what I've learned about esellerate so far is that they do provide
a number of options for issuing serial numbers. But the style that I'm
particular fond of is a serial that is tied to a MAC address. And I
guess the only way to implement such a scheme with esellerate would be
to use their SDK and embed payment into the application.
But I think as others have hinted here in the past, this type of serial
number is overkill in the amount of effort it takes to maintain it.
Learning to live with lost sales due to warez distributions that
include serial numbers is just a cost of doing business. Or is it?
