Hello Eve-O,
Not sure where to ask this so thought I'd start here. If you let your account lapse for whatever reason do your market orders remain active? Or are they canceled? or how does that work exactly? thanks.

They will just elapse when their orderdate elapses so if you put them on a 3 month period then they will go on for 3 months regardless of your account being active or not.

Really? So a character on a lapsed account can still buy/sell? Doesn't seem right. Or do you mean that the order disappears from the market but the order lapse countdown still continues? Zappity's Adventures for a taste of lowsec. |

Yes, a character on a lapsed account can buy and sell, but not very efficiently and with great risk. As you know, prices on EVE market constantly change, so something like this could easily happen:
- sell order for an item whose price is dropping or dropped suddenly (due to speculation, in-game changes, whatever...) is just going to sit there; - sell order for an item whose price is jumping or jumped suddenly is lost trading profit; - buy order for an item whose price is dropping or dropped suddenly is gladly going to be filled by other players leaving the buyer with overpaid items and ISK loss; - buy order for an item whose price is jumping or jumped suddenly is just not going to be filled;
In a word - sure... leave your orders unattended for 3 months and let you account expire 1 bil-30 days-5% loan available - collateral required: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=352279 |

I didn't think it was possible untill i tried it a few months ago when i let my 3rd account also run out of subtime.On that account i still had one char who was doing some interregional stationtrading , nothing much but enough to only need 1 hour a week at most wich was enough to pay for my 3 subbs and get some extra in.
Anyway he still had for around 20 B in goods and me being lazy as i am these days i didn't feel like hauling it to jita or paying someone to do so.As such i just set them for a 3 month sell period to see if or if it did not work .Worst case 20 B of stuff comes back into the corphangar , but it did sell off though verry slowly.As you can't update prices you are just going to have to hope on some items the price will rise again.Out of the 20 B about 18 B of stuff sold of wich most in the 3rd month .

I'm a vet and I can also confirm this. I'm even such a vet (=old f****) that I remember that the API, once created, kept working on inactive accounts and thus allowed you to watch the items sell/buy on those acounts.
Good old times ... :sigh:

Its Friday, great excuse. and if you cant get drunk today, then get drunk because you missed getting drunk.. or if you got drunk.. get drunk to celebrate that you got drunk. |

Ha, I also remember that. Used that quite a couple of times for those rank 8 level V skills (Mini and Caldari BS, for example and Large Arty Spec.) ...
