23. Reopening a locked thread by creating a new one is not allowed.

Recreating or reopening a thread that has been closed by a moderator is prohibited. Threads that have been closed by a moderator have been closed for the benefit of the community. Reopening a locked thread will result in its removal.

Thread is locked for breaching the above rule. Your original thread will unlock after 24 hours as long as you have moved into an NPC corp. - ISD Type40.

In an effort to reduce the amount of character scams, GM workload and player frustration, the following changes are being made to the announcements concerning character sales or auctions for ISK. No other form of trade is sanctioned or supported.

1. The 'For Sale/Auction' post must be made by the character being offered. This is being added to prevent scams for characters that have been misrepresented, banned, non-existent, etc. An exception to this rule is if multiple characters are being offered by the same person. You are allowed to include the selling information for all characters in a single thread provided that you prove your ownership of the characters by having them confirm the sales in the thread. All other rules apply normally to the character sale.


2. You must disclose whether or not the character being sold has a negative balance in its wallet and the amount.


3. The character being sold must receive the ISK for the purchase and only ISK. Characters may not be sold in exchange for items.


4. The sell post must reflect the character correctly, posting that the character you're selling has more skillpoints or ISK than it actually has is a bannable offence.


5. Items cannot be listed among the character's valuable assets, only skills, implants and reputation. You are buying/selling the character ONLY and nothing else. Ships and items can be readily bought on the market for ISK.


6. You may only bump threads ONCE Per day. Date is determined by the date on the forum, not the date where you live. See this guide for more information on bumping.


7. The new owner of the character may NOT pass himself off as any previous owner.


8. The character for sale must be from an active account, you cannot trade characters from inactive accounts.


9. The character being sold must be in an NPC corporation at the time of posting.


10. The character being sold must be older than 14 days old to avoid accidental transfers.


11. The selling of accounts is prohibited, characters may only be sold individually.


12. The owner of the character being sold is responsible for the character transfer fee paid to CCP.


13. Prior to leaving a corporation, the character to be sold MUST send a corp-wide EVE mail stating that they are going to be sold and will be leaving for an NPC corporation.


14. When a character is sold, please modify the topic title to reflect this to help other forum patrons know what characters are still available.


15. Lottery style sales are not permitted. Auctions and buyouts are the appropriate method for selling a character.


16. All scams involving character transfers are prohibited.


17. Whenever a character is transferred before the seller has moved the ISK received from the sale to another one of their characters, the Customer Support team will return that ISK to the rightful owner. The buyer cannot expect to receive both the character and the ISK that they paid to purchase it.


18. CCP Fallout talks about the 10 hour character transfer delay.


19. Down-payment plans are not supported by CCP Customer Support. As a seller, you are agreeing to a certain amount of ISK only, which is to be paid in one payment. Once again, any forms of scams regarding character sales is prohibited.


20. All skill training must be paused before transferring the character.


21. The location of the character must be disclosed and whether it is in high security, low security, null sec or wormhole space. You must also state if the character is in space or in a station.


22. Accounts can only be involved in one character transfer at a time. If either the sending or the receiving account have an ongoing character transfer, other transfer attempts will fail.

These changes are effective immediately. Posts made after this announcement will be edited with a link to this thread or deleted without notification.

Please post below with any rule change, new rule submission or resource you feel useful for fellow players or something you want to bring to our attention.

Agreements on the forums or in game, or winning an auction does not guarantee a character will be transferred to you. The seller may choose to renege on a deal at any time, prior to the transaction being completed
