Here is a fix I see:
Put the minimum escrow at 1 unit, or the amount allowed by margin trading, whichever is higher.
Meaning, margin trading would still have it's full power for the intended usage, but if you wanted to pretend the price is higher than it actually is, it would force you to put at least 1 units worth up escrow at risk...killing the scam completely in most ways.
eg, compressed unit of supershit for 1.2 billion isk....you have to throw up the escrow, because the you are only selling 1 unit.
I suppose this would have the side effect of making margin only useful if you are buying more than 2 - 3 things at a time. |

All "minimums" should have to be fulfilled by escrow imo. The minimum purchase/unit, should have to have a 100% escrow backing it.
Anything BEYOND that, you get the full benefit of Margin trading. That is how I would fix it.
You could still artificially inflate things or play games on that level, but you would always have to fulfill a minimum order each time.
If somebody fulfills the minimum, and there is no money left for more, THEN the order gets deleted.
You could allow people to right-click the order and add more ISK into the order to keep it active. |

The only thing I'd like, is an evemail or notification specifically saying the buy order item, how much it was and which station it was in, was removed because of insufficient funds.
The game doing something like this, and having an easy way to figure out what happened, would be good.
Edit: Just saying if there wasn't something like this and the order was just removed, I'd probably just forget that I had an order for it.
What if the order became flagged as "Inactive - insufficient funds" in your market order screen?
You could then right click the order -> Add funds to the order, to make it active again.
I like the concept of each purchase order having an individual pool of funds that you can manage/inject as needed. |

It would increase inflation, which is never a good thing -- the more people trade, the more stuff is taxed and the more ISK is sinked out of the economy. |
