I want to buy space gold but since Aurum isn't transferrable between character wallets I am greatly inconvenienced by not being able to convert plex to Aurum remotely.

is it that hard to contract a plex to the character you want the aurum on?

You get more aurum buying it directly anyway, why would you convert?

You get more aurum by buying directly with ISK? Interesting.

The issue is that it's difficult to get the character the aurum should be on to the location of the plex.

No, with money. You get what, 3500 for a plex? You get 4000 buying straight from the aur store.

Edit to add: You can also remotely activate plex from the assets window...

Collect Aurum witn any character.
Buy the items you want off Aurum store
Give item to the character you want the stuff on.

Easy.

jump clones and shuttles exist for a reason.

This honestly explains a lot. I think I'm going to stash this post for future referral.

This is finely for for SKINs or services, but if it's barbie clothing it doesn't help, since the clothes have to be in your current hangar to put them on.

The suggestion of the OP is a good one.

We can do everything else with PLEX remotely. It doesn't seem unreasonable to be able to do it with PLEX -> AURUM also.
