New Game Time Code Rules
Any other forms of GTC trades are no longer supported by CCP.
An option for the safe and secure exchange of EVE Game Time Codes for EVE Online ISK has been added to the account management page. Through the use of this system, EVE players will be able to purchase Game Time Codes without the fear of receiving an invalid code, or offer a Game Time Code for sale with the assurance that payment will be received.
What you do is log into your account management page, https://secure.eve-online.com/login.aspx.
From there you go:
My Account >> Account Services >> Securely Sell EVE Time Code
The procedure there is straightforward,
- You select the character selling the code.
- You type in the name of the character you are selling the code to.
- You type in your price for the timecode.
The system will automatically verify the validity of the code, then send the buyer an EVEmail with the offer. The offer is valid for 48 hours. The buyer must log into the account management page and accept the offer.
The gametime will be automatically added to the buyers account and the payment will be automatically deposited to the sellers wallet.
Not only will this new option improve Game Time Code transaction security, it will also severely decrease the number of petitions submitted for GTC scams, thus allowing the GM team to focus their efforts elsewhere and continue to improve the EVE gaming experience.
Please Note: You must purchase an EVE Game Time Code through one of the normal outlets in order to sell the Time Code.
Any other forms of GTC trades are no longer supported by CCP.

New Game Time Code Guidelines
Any forms of GTC trades outside the CCP created systems are not allowed or supported by CCP.
An alternative option to GTC trades has been introduced in the form of converting GTCs to pilot licences ingame.
The option for the safe and secure exchange of EVE Game Time Codes for EVE Online ISK is still available in account management page. Through the use of this system, EVE players will be able to purchase Game Time Codes without the fear of receiving an invalid code, or offer a Game Time Code for sale with the assurance that payment will be received.
What you do is log into your account management page, https://secure.eve-online.com/login.aspx.
From there you go:
My Account >> Account Services >> Securely Sell EVE Time Code
The procedure there is straightforward,
- You select the character selling the code.

surely this system will merely encourage more ebay sales. Before people legitimately converted isk to cash via GTC. Now they will turn back to ebay for it.

How many decimals is it when selling a GTC? So you don't type in 140k or 140Bn.

what a great idea
Reduce the amount of relatively simple to do petitions involving timecard scams with much more work for GMs tracking ISK sellers ? This cannot fail!

what about trail accounts?
Can a trail account also use this service? F.E. i¦m training another char which is currently on a trail account, if i want to upgrade this account to a full account.
I send my trial the isk. and he can accept through the account mnmgt page?

Very good system but there is 1 feature missing. The Buyer should be able to choose the account he wants to charge. The account with the money or another account like the industry alt.

Edited by: Jaggeh on 23/02/2007 16:07:42 acually this will probably make it a hell of a lot easier to track GTC sales and scammers/isk sellers. considering this is going to be logged on the secure server. --------------------------------------- Furious Angels are recruiting Carpe Pugya Pyga - Seize the Buttocks

Edited by: Fliewatuet on 23/02/2007 16:20:20 So, looks nice and you can be sure the code is valid. But then, i usually play with two accounts. I don't care when my account expires, in case that happens i just buy another gtc with the other code, log in with the expired account and activate it again.
Am i right in understanding that the gtc is directly added to the account i buy it with? I can't use it to extend another account? Or use it to give a friend more than 14d to get addicted? Or even save the code so i can use it later on for any account i choose to?
Well, its nice to add a way to avoid scamming and thus workload on GMs. But i don't want to loose freedom and be forced to do it a certain way! :( I play to have fun, not to monitor yet another date so i don't forget extending soon enough!
So, please add a way to get the code itself out of the system.

Edited by: Drgnvale on 23/02/2007 16:20:29 ^^^ But do you need anything from the eve-mail that is sent to you?
A nice solution to the problem of expired alt accounts would be allowing the buyer to specify which account the time goes to. As far as people who already have expired accounts go, if they don't have another account you already have to trust that they will pay you if you spot them the code, so you could just do it that way and not have CCP's protection.

Well, CCP certainly thought this one through. Quoting the FAQ for this new "service":
How will I know that the transaction has gone through? As soon as the transaction goes through you will receive the ISK into your wallet. (Note: Shouldn't the seller get an evemail receipt?)
Apparently they put so much thought and work into this they didn't have time to remove the editorial notes on the FAQ.

I like this upgrade. Makes it much easier to track and then I don't have to do evemails spamming up my evemail box or grumpy about how many I have and how long to keep them. Good job CCP. |

Can we see who were are purchasing the GTC from?
I'd personally prefer not to buy it from certain alliances.

Edited by: Plekto on 23/02/2007 17:30:04 Edited by: Plekto on 23/02/2007 17:29:25 I second this. We need to know who we are buying from/selling to.
Also, why not just skip the middleman part and make it that you can buy ISK for a set fee? Magic Online does this - they have $1 certificates that are effectively used like cash to buy and sell cards online. As it is now, I would have to buy a card, find a buyer, do the transaction, and hope it's not from an enemy or macro-miner. I'd so much rather just pay a one-time $10 or $20 charge and get some isk that way.
If it was me, I'd do away with the timecards completely and just make it so that you charge us extra on our account. Simple to track as well, since you would need a credit card to play the game. Yes, I know you would lose some few players, but given how huge EVE has become in the last year alone, I doubt it it would hurt sales that much.

personally I don't like this because of the fact that I can't choose to whom the card will go to. Instead of being able to hold onto my number and use it at my leisure I have to have it instantly used. Can CCP do anything to aid in this. I mean verification is great, but perhaps I want to use it on a different account later on. Please help with this, as this is my normal means. Perhaps the option to have the card not applied, but instead to keep the number?

Aren't Ebay banning sales of virtual items on their site?

Exactly my thoughts,
When my accounts expire i topup, will i have to log in the game to check what the mail says?? and lets say even if it does work when the is account closed, what if i am not sure if i have isks for the transaction?
Btw this is a great idea, the next step is to be able to make gtcs public on contracts,once the system verify the code then it set up an ingame contract, first come first served :)
