The Capitals Trade mailing list rules & policies

• THIS MAILING LIST IS FOR Capital ships Business ONLY NOT FOR YOUR SERVICES ,LOTTERIES OR OTHER RANDOM CONTRACT ITEMS YOU WANT TO SELL.
• Minimum quantity is 1
• You need to give the following information : Price per unit ( PPU is only given to inform the buyer of the average price this does not mean you are allowed to sell by the unit you will get banned if you sell by the unit ) / Price per batch of 5 units or more / Location / Total quantity/packs available /Price for the whole stack of modules. ( more details below )

• This mailing list is based on the free market rule( like the economy in eve online ) so you are free to put any price tag you want on your items. . ( however i strongly recommend that you price them at least lower than the major market hub ( jita / amarr / dodixie / rens ) or the other ships closest to your goods )
• Manipulating any markets and dumping stock falsely priced on the mailing list will not be tolerated and will result in an immediate ban for all the characters linked.
• You must absolutely indicate a price range for everything you sell on the mailing list & indicate that you are opened to negotiations if it's the case.
• You must not in any circumstances try to bargain somebody when they didn't put an *N* in their mail subject doing this will result in a ban and a 200m fine to rejoin the mailing list
• all mails sent on the mailing list should follow the following templates : http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/The_Capitals_Trade_(Mailing_List)#How_to_Join_The_Capitals_Trade_Mailing_List
• Auction CONTRACTS are not allowed / Selling goods that are on the market is not allowed.
• Sending a mail to the mail list with a public contract is allowed but is not good for business.
• Want to buy offers mails are allowed but must respect the templates.
• Linking/highlighting the items listed in the mails sent on the mailing list is mandatory to make it easier to check the price of the goods.
• If you have different ships to sell on the same occasion please only make one mail.
• Concerning mail updates : you can only send and update mail to the mailing list once the items listed in the mail are sold or once every 24 hours to update the price eventually this means sending more than 2 or 3 mails on the mailing within 24hours starts to put you in the ToBeBanned list.

• Disciplinary actions will be taken against violators & Bans will eventually be issued without any prior warnings in order to keep a general standard on the mailing list .( if you break a rule that is very explicit , you get banned).

• People who are found with a CSPA charge higher than 10000 isk will be banned from the mailing list.

General recommendations

I find rules very simple to understand however i am opened to all constructive feedback/criticism.

Please try to be courteous & polite with everyone when using the mailing list.

Thanks in advance

How to write a mail for the mailing list

• A mail sent on the Capitals Trade mailing list should be properly written. Hundreds of people will read it; it will reflect your focus and professionalism. It will also show that you are not lazy. TL;DR: in Eve online your image is important

Concerning the Mail's Subject :

• All mail's subjects should be written following this template.
  • All mail titles should now contain if you want to buy ("WTB") or sell ("WTS") followed by the type of items.
  • If you are open to negotiations you should now put an *N* at the end of the mail subject. Persons found low balling, falsely claiming to be negotiable, or otherwise abusing the *N* marker will be found out and dealt with harshly.

A bad subject is vague on the item, fails to specify whether it is a buy or sell offer, or mis-formatted. Don't do this!

A good subject specifies the order type (buy/sell), the item types, and whether the order is negotiable with *N*.

If your order has completely filled or sold, your follow-up mail's subject (announcing the completed status) should say "sold" or "filled", followed by the original mail's subject:

• A properly written mail should contain the following in the mail body:
  • The name of the items
  • The quantity
  • The price per unit
  • The location of the items ( the region is enough for supercaps and titans ).
