So yes Yazel/Stabs are also both corrects. <br /><br />So it's not that you were scammed using the market, it's more by not using the market properly and using it swiftly you can easily make mistakes and it can cost you millions or more. As well I'd say this never do market transactions when you are tired/sleepy/drunk or non alert. <br /><br />Often what you dont know or aware of in so many ways can cost allot in EVE, which serves to foster the myth of the steep learning curve one way or another.Ardent Defenderhttp://ardentdefense.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36733892.post-39814241464254057192012-03-08T21:34:52.296+00:002012-03-08T21:34:52.296+00:00Yazel / Stabs

So I wasn't scammed, it was just my naivety (stupidity?).<br /><br />I guess I should remove the pins from that doll I made of the recipient of my dosh.mbphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09037758442729422620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36733892.post-3737947704668257932012-03-08T21:19:20.523+00:002012-03-08T21:19:20.523+00:00I'm sure it's what Yazel says.

It's a bit counter-intuitive but the market assumes you always want to buy from the cheapest seller.<br /><br />So if<br />random sells EMP S at 40 isk<br />Your alt sells EMP S at 10 million isk<br /><br />when you click on your alt's order you buy one EMP S for 10 million but the money goes to the random player, not your alt.Stabshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716211705647213383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36733892.post-83487863549711672442012-03-08T20:50:46.337+00:002012-03-08T20:50:46.337+00:00Forgive me if I missed this in your story :) but d...Forgive me if I missed this in your story :) but did you check for existing orders? I think the explanation may be that there was already someone selling that type of rusty bullet in your station and your ISK went to them.<br /><br />(The sell order with the lowest asking price always fills first and it fills at the price specified by the buyer even if the buyer was offering an amount several orders of magnitude higher.)<br /><br />Does that sound possible?Yazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03944032584703502265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36733892.post-12506237717518631192012-03-08T17:56:29.412+00:002012-03-08T17:56:29.412+00:00Will check out Tiger Ears Arden D, thank for link....Will check out Tiger Ears Arden D, thank for link. Thanks also for the offer of isk but there is no need really. It was only a noobs few shillings and I am financially secure on my main.

Always use the advance trade window vs the quick simple trade interface. <br /><br />I can send you a few million ISK in game if it can help. I'll hardly miss a few millions at that among my many Billions.Ardent Defenderhttp://ardentdefense.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36733892.post-17907254492942693132012-03-08T16:09:23.902+00:002012-03-08T16:09:23.902+00:00More than likely Cap'n John.

And your grossly overpriced rusty bullet fit the bill.<br /><br />Depending on how much space junk that specific character could carry, it's possible he was loaded up with just about everything available in the EVE universe, and the Addon automatically created the Auction for him, listing his own Rusty Bullet for the same price as your own, or possibly for 1 ISK less. You admit it was late and that you were tired, so you didn't notice the minute price difference.<br /><br />Maybe :PCap'n Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15267651027289124037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36733892.post-20639689987025083022012-03-08T15:05:49.822+00:002012-03-08T15:05:49.822+00:00I actually tried to set up contracts from the free...I actually tried to set up contracts from the free trial account but I kept hitting a glass ceiling where the free trial account could not proceed with the trasaction. Perhaps if I iniated the contract from the paying end it might have worked better. I still have a few million worth of ships and loot stuck in the trial account but I cannot think of a way to transfer it.mbphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09037758442729422620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36733892.post-72767893706228740782012-03-08T14:00:46.195+00:002012-03-08T14:00:46.195+00:00Ah man, that's too bad about the ISK.

You can also trade face to face I believe (been a while) and I always had two clients running at once. <br /><br />Ah well, a few million is easily made back!Gankalicioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508064508891396252noreply@blogger.com
