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.

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.


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.


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. You may only bump threads ONCE Per day. Date is determined by the date on the forum, not the date where you live.


6. The new owner of the character may NOT pass himself off as the original owner.


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


8. The character being sold must be in an NPC corporation.


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


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

These changes are effective immediately. Existing announcements are exempt but edits made after the time of the announcement must follow the above rules. Posts made after this announcement will be edited with a link to this thread or deleted without notification. We apologize for the additional inconvenience.

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.
