'''Contracts''', also known as '''escrow''', are a way of creating a formalized agreement between two entities for the transfer or transport of items and ISK. Unlike the trade window, a contract cannot be altered by the owner once it has been submitted, thus making scams much less likely (though not impossible). Contracts may contain items not for sale on the regular regional market, such as blueprint copies or assembled/fitted ships.

Contracts, also known as escrow, are a way of creating a formalized agreement between two entities for the transfer or transport of items and ISK. Unlike the trade window, a contract cannot be altered by the owner once it has been submitted, thus making scams much less likely (though not impossible). Contracts may contain items not for sale on the regular regional market, such as blueprint copies or assembled/fitted ships.

Contract Types

Auction Contract

Auction

If you want to sell items but not in the regional market, you can create an auction.
After selecting the items you need to provide following information:

  • Starting Bid: The minimum value of ISK someone has to bid on your items.
  • Buyout Price(optional): The value of ISK needed for an instant buyout.
  • Auction Time: The number of days the contract should be available. When expiring the auction goes to the highest bid.

Item Exchange Contract

Item Exchange

A basic trade of items or ISK will use an item exchange contract. You specify the item you wish to sell or buy and the price you wish to pay or receive.

  • I will pay: The money you give to the player who accepts your contract.
  • I will get: The money the player has to give you when accepting the contract.
  • Expiration: The number of days the contract should be available.
  • Also request items from buyer: Choose items you want to get from the player who accepts your contract.

Possible Scams

Remember that members of the Ivy League are not allowed to scam anyone. Read our Code of Conduct.

  • Putting the same item to sell and buy. Someone who accepts this scam will instantly give the item back. An additional buyprice is the complete profit in this scam.
  • Selling a bunch of items way too pricy.

Courier Contract

Courier

If you want to pay someone to ship items from A to B you use a Courier Contract.
After selecting the items you need to provide following information:

  • Reward: This is the value of ISK that the hauler gets when they finish the contract correctly.
  • Collateral: This is the value of ISK that the hauler needs to place in escrow upon accepting the contract. If the hauler opens the package, the package is destroyed or delivery is not made within the allotted time, the contract is considered 'failed' and the collateral is paid out to you. Collateral should always be set a bit higher than the value of all items in the contract.
  • Expiration: The number of days the contract should be available.
  • Days to Complete: The time someone has to complete the contract.

Possible Scams
