So effectively what you are buying with the Aurum is a paint job? I think I read somewhere a dev saying ship skins would actually be separate new ships with their own item number and a separate entry in the secondary player market.
Yes, bechause they haven't figured out a way to "apply paint-job" on the ships... also, that would be lost if you repackaged the ship. When converting the standard scorpion to a sperate ship model, the ship will retain it's paint job even when selling it on the market (cause that require you to repack it anyways).

Originally by: Vastek Non The LP store doesn't allow RMT for short term profit. It also requires in game effort to obtain those LP, thus its not what CCP had in mind.
He's talking about the code, not the store itself.
The code for the LP store lets it accept a reasonably complex combination of two currencies (LP and ISK) and a myriad of different items (tags, ammo, ships, modules) as input, and allows for an even larger ł or at least more complex ł myriad of items (BPCs, ammo, ships, modules, books, implants) as output. He's asking why that code couldn't be reused to do all the things the AUR store can't, and "simply" replace the LP costs with AUR costs.
If I were to guess (uncharitably), it's because the AUR store is properly Carbonified and fancy, with nice preview windows and advert banners, whereas the LP store isą wellą not.
Also I'd like to point out that the LP-store sucks. You have to manualy set up filtering on it unless you want to scroll through everything (wich mostly contain a lot of implants where you'd need a reference guide to figure out wich does what).
Yes, I think the reason for them not using the code for the LP-store is to make the new store in carbon (and to make it better). It's current functionality and complexity of payment/trade-ins and the fact there is no filtering in it at it's current iteration, I'm sure that will be fixed. I'd like to be able to browse the market window based on market groups and clothing to be separated in groups of mens cloting, womens cloting and unisex, and further into clothing groups.
And, when the Aurum store is in a more finished form (unless it's functionality still sucks), I'd like to see them use that code to create a new LP-store
