The Character Bazaar is a CCP sanctioned forum-based marketplace where players can buy and sell their characters for ISK.
Character bazaar rules
The following rules are set in place by CCP in an effort to reduce the amount of character scams, GM workload and player frustration. Character bazaar scams are strictly forbidden by CCP.
- 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.
- You must disclose whether or not the character being sold has a negative balance in its wallet and the amount.
- You must disclose if there are kill rights on the character for sale. Kill rights you possess on other characters are to be treated as assets and not included in the character listing.
- The character being sold must receive the ISK for the purchase and only ISK. Characters may not be sold in exchange for items. Please note that if a character has a negative ISK balance that character cannot be transferred until it has a positive amount of ISK.
- 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. Similarly, a seller must disclose whether jump clones are located in 0.0, lowsec or highsec space.
- 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.
- 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.
- The new owner of the character may NOT pass himself off as any previous owner.
- The character for sale must be from an active account, you cannot trade characters from inactive accounts.
- The character being sold must be in an NPC corporation at the time of posting, and for the entire duration of the sale/auction thread being active.
- The character being sold must be older than 14 days old to avoid accidental transfers.
- The selling of accounts is prohibited, characters may only be sold individually.
- The owner of the character being sold is responsible for the character transfer fee paid to CCP.
- 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.
- When a character is sold, please modify the topic title to reflect this to help other forum patrons know what characters are still available.
- Lottery style sales are not permitted. Auctions and buyouts are the appropriate method for selling a character.
- All scams involving character transfers are prohibited.
- The ISK that a buyer sends when attempting to purchase a character is considered to belong to him until such a time as the character being purchased has been delivered to the account of his choosing. If the character sale is not completed, the ISK must be returned in full to the potential buyer.
- 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.
- 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.
