Can we get a rule that when an auction is started with a beginning price that the seller has to list an end time for the auction?

I'm sick of seeing these "auctions" that have bids over the minimum where the seller keeps trolling for more money before actually selling the character.

There's one up right now that has a 4b min listed and it has a 4.5b offer and the seller keeps saying "I want a little more than that".


It's the liberty of the seller to actually sell or not his pilot. Noone can force a seller to sell or a buyer to buy.

It would be too easy to make money off auctions if it was obligated to sell at the end of any auctions..

That's the whole point.
For a straightforward auction IRL, when you wish to auction an object, you will give it to an auction house and set a minimum price. The auction house will then auction off that item starting at XXX.xx
If there's only one bidder, he's gonna get it. it means noone else was interested.

If you want a surefire bet, dont AUCTION your character. Sell if for a bloody fix price. "I want 30B for this toon"; how hard is that?
Its still up to you to negotiate to let him go for less, but you stated your fixed price at which the first one to come and buy it at that price should get it; like buying a pack of chewing gum, the store owner won't say "wait, i won't sell you this fixed price chewing gum, because maybe in 2 days someone else will come and give me more". Make an auction then.

Want to protect the seller? give a realistic minimum amount. moronic auctions starting 20B below what the seller actually would accept are just that; moronic.
It would make a nice and welcome change on the character bazaar.

And also, challenged people who post "25 Bill B/O" below BO price. You just did a bid. its your highest bid maybe or not, noone cares. but its not BO price. its a bid. the seller decides "B/O" as per original post.
Stating BO on a bid is re...challenged.

I searched this thread but couldn't find a definitive answer:

  • If a character has never left the starting NPC corp, there is no need to send a corp-wide mail or leave that corp, correct?

I would assume the starter corporations are valid NPC corps for the purposes of the transfer, but I'd like to know if this has been confirmed by CCP, or if the character must join one of the "backup" NPC corps.

Is it still not possible to transfer char to a steam account?

You're correct.

You can't leave the starter NPC corp, it's the one you started with when you created your pilot ! Each time you'll leave a player based corporation, you'll get back to your starter corporation.

just do a sale post, have the buyer/trader confirm the details, then agree between yourselves who goes first, probably better to send your char and isk to the char your swapping with. Just make sure its clearly posted whats happening, that you have sent the isk/char and get buyer to confirm in 10 hours they will send there char.
Worst case scenario, you will be covered and get isk and char back if the other guy attempts a scam.

I'd like to propose that posts in the Character Bazaar not be editable by anyone other than moderators.

I think I'm correct in that part of the reason for the stringent requirements of posting here are so that potential employers can follow the owner history of a toon applying to their corp.

Take this thread for example: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=264330
And it's copy on Eve-search: http://www.eve-search.com/thread/264330-1

In the Eve Forum post, the purchaser of Jade Bloodbound went in and removed the title, the stats reported, and even who won the auction. You can only infer by the toon silver foxes saying "Sweet!" that they may be the person who purchased the toon. There is no post even showing that the toon was actually sold and that the seller didn't back out in the end.

If you look in the Eve-Search post, you'll see what actually occurred.

All of that could be eliminated by removing the ability to edit posts in this specific sub-forum only.

Where do you go in game to actually sell a character, or take charge of a character and can you have 4 or 5 toon slots then?

No, it will physically not allow you to make a transfer unless the char is in NPC corp.

Geez, after 15 pages and I didn't see my question or answer.

If a character transfer is initiated from an account with less than 10 active hours left will it still go through?

Being that I am closing my ALT ACCOUNT and rolling the char into my MAIN I want to maximize the skill time I've paid for. I'll probably have an answer for this before anyone else posts since that 10 hour line is 15 hours hence and in a maximum of 25 hours from now I'll know!

No
Bummer and a waist of SP. Good thing dual character training should make my condition more of an edge case.

Character transfer intiated with 10h 30m to on account. Judging that the character has been cleared out of my alt account I am sceptical of Krashion's claim. I would love to hear from someone who has tried to transfer under the ten hour line.

Oh how I love it when someone asks a question, then gets an answer but decides to call the answerer a liar.
you had 10 hr 30 m on account OVER 10 HOURS so ofc it will go through

Who normally pays for the toon transfer? I see some auctions saying "I will pay the transfer fee" - so is it normally expected that the buyer pays?

13.The owner of the character being sold is responsible for the character transfer fee paid to CCP.
