Alow corporations to sell directly to the market.

Basically, add a "sell for corporation" ability to market transactions.

So, instead of buying 3200 Veldspar from joe shmo miner 32 you buy 3200 Veldspar from super awesome mining corp.

Purpose? Essentially this would allow corps to dish out a salary to their employee's based on the income they get as a whole, it would give an additional incentive to have people join corps rather than be the lone miner types.

It would be optional, you can be the lone wolf if you still so choose.

Exampl: Super awesome mining corp is made up of 15 some odd miners or so, they each produce a variable amount of ore, they sell it for the corp, corp boss gets X amount of return, pays employees a set amount (or however they want to work it out) and can then distribute the rest as dividends.

It would also help for pirate corps in making sure loot is sold and distributed amongst people evenly (assuming honest leaders and such). Rather than having one guy sell it all to market and distribute it that way.

It also kinda makes sense given the whole corporation thing.

That would make too much sense. Or corporations being able to tax all transactions of their employees or better yet, being able to buy and sell corporation shares on the market and having the ability to do hostile take overs, capitalist pig style.

This sounds like a very good idea. If we're allowed to "buy for corp" then we should be able to "sell for corp" too.

This is already in the game you just need wallet permissions set up correctly.

It may need a block from people taking money from the corporation wallet but everyone in the corp can sell items for the corp then the salaries are divided out at the next payday.

This is not another clone of WoW, or a game where you sell stuff to the system, well there are few items what the system buys and we don't need no more.

That means... No.

I'm not talking about selling things to NPCs or the system. The market functions just as it always had, it is more just a switch in accounting styles. Basically after you sell something instead of going to your wallet, it goes into the corporation's wallet.

Let's try reading things shall we?

At no point did I contradict or even address you, how you can infer I haven't read your post when I've made no response to it as of yet is beyond me. Stop trolling for the sake of trolling.

If it is already in game then adding a shortcut to it should still be considered as I've never seen it on any of my accounts, nor ever heard of anyone talking about it.

Talk to your CEO or a director to give you full access to a wallet division.

You will get the 'use corp account' checkbox appear when both buying and selling items.

To protect from theft you can have a trusted corp mate move money from the unsecured wallet division to a secured one daily.

And look through the journal making sure no one is skimming.

Yes, I've been a director/CEO before and I know about the different wallets/accounts. The point is that it is somewhat difficult and obtuse to try and allow simple members to sell an item for the corporation without giving them permissions from the main account. This should be simplified so that the lives of carebears/directors is a little bit easier for every day stuff.

There are large portions of eve that are needlessly overcomplicated simply for the sake of being overly complicated.
