I plan to buy a mothership.. Either a Wyvern or Aeon depending on what account I get it for. How do you actually know that someone is going to give you the mother ship once you pay them?

Ither you buy it from someone you trust
or
You use a third party that both you the buyer and the seller trusts as gobetween.
Apart from those two... well lets just say I would not reccomend it.

there would be some many ways around that where the seller could look innocent and you;d still end up without a ship. Join The Fight With Promo Today |

In EVE Trust is a currency, on the same line as ISK. In MY honest opinion. Its scarce!
There are very few people or organizations I would trust that kinda money to, but then this is part of the price you also have to pay to get a mothership or a titan. Unless you build it yourself. Other words, you dont just have to have cash, you also need someone you trust. The ones I would trust in EVE are Chribba, and I think the capital ship provider BIG is honest too. Ofcource, one day Chribba might get up on the wrong side of the bed one morning and mutters to himself: TODAY I am gonna waste, cheat and scheme against everyone who gets in my way. In eve, you never know. Guess thats part of what makes it so exciting

This is true... but only if it is a trade that legally includes real life money.
Naturally this meens its void for buying a mothership as you are not allowed to buy items such as ships for real money.
The rule was initially put in place when CCP decided to allow GTC for isk trades but other legal real life money involved trades do exist (char buying for example as there is a small real life money cost involved).
As most of thise legal real life money involved deals are now supported its less of an issue.
In short:
You may scam on the forum!
So beware.

I wish Chribba would do a scam. Can you imagine the outcry?
Would be good PR for the game too. ---

Holey crap. How is it that so many people are just totally unaware of the contract system?
Private contract. Preview the contract to ensure that the ship you want is actually in the contract, click Accept. Isk goes to them, ship is yours.

Holly Crap, how is it that so many people still can't READ, and are unaware of the facts before posting?
Private contracts work on things (like ships/modules) that are in the STATION, now please tell me how exactly you put a MOTHERSHIP, in the STATION.
p.s. maybe next time before assuming the rest of the world is dumb, I would check yourself

erm... u do realize u can't dock a MS right? so u will have to take possesion of it IN SPACE? in LOW or 0.0 sec? So unless someone tells me i'm wrong there isn't even a way to put up a contract for a supercap or is there?
ccp should make a statement about it, best would be if ccp would say that scamming the sale/purchase of a non dockable ship (aka MS or titan) wil result in a ban to the scammer and a refund to the victim, not like a lot of people go around buying these so not a lot of scamming opportunities anyways, and if it were like a bs or even a carrier i'd say ok, u know the risks could have made the trade in a station but that doesn't count with a supercap. and it's a LOT of isk.
CCP, let us pay the online shop with Direct Debit!!! Magners is now recruiting, evemail me or Dagazbo ingame.

As stated by others, Mother Ships (and Titans) cannot dock. Therefore...... -- No trade window option -- No Market option -- No Contract option
The ONLY ways to get a Mother Ship are to build it yourself at a Low Sec POS, --or-- to meet someone in Low Sec flying a Mothership, have them eject, and then you board the ship (Recommend doing this inside a POS shield)
As for trust, there is no way you can avoid it, but using Chribba (and paying him a fee which he has right to ask for) as a trusted 3rd party to manage the trade is about the best idea I've heard here.
Play nice while you butcher each other.
