An online virtual reality ecommerce system imposes needs upon its avatars, thereby enhancing the simulation of reality, and providing need-based motivations for ecommerce in addition to enjoyment-based motivations. The virtual needs also cause avatars to be perceived as independent beings which can independently enjoy, desire, and suffer based on experiences and purchases within the virtual world. This causes users to emotionally bond with their avatars, and to feel compassion, empathy, and even friendship toward them. Users feel increased desires to spend time online with their avatars, and to purchase goods for their avatars as well as for themselves. Avatars can be fantasy avatars in a virtual fantasy world, and their needs can include special, fantasy items. Basic needs can include food, clothing, shelter, exercise, bathing, shaving, medicine, and haircuts. Entertainment can be needed to avoid boredom, and specific tools, equipment, fuel, and/or transportation can be needed for various activities.

A method and a Loan product providing for Banks and other large Finance Companies (Intermediaries) to market and fund loan product to its Customers (Borrowers), whereby the entire loan processes are administered by a contracted Finance Company (Contractor) that possess loan, leasing and/or factoring (collectively referred to as a Loan) specialty expertise that the Intermediary does not have or cannot duplicate cost effectively. The Contractor will indemnify and/or insure the Intermediary from loss of principle and interest, thereby eliminating all risk to the Intermediary. Since the Intermediary provides money for the Loan, the cost will be in most cases lower than the cost of money the Contractor can provide directly. The Contractor is able to drastically reduce its marketing costs as volume gets funneled in from its customer Intermediaries. The Borrower benefits from having easier access to the various Loan products and a lower price due to this process. The Intermediary can now serve its customers better, employ funds more efficiently, earn fees for providing marketing services benefitting the Contractor, all while completely eliminating the risk of loss on the contracted Loans.
