- All items sold on the mailing list must be sold in packs of 5 units minimum ( selling by the unit/ Retailing will not be tolerated )
- Do not sell your faction items/ships here unless you have 5 identical modules/ships.
- Indicating on your mail that you accept retail order ( selling just for one unit of anything even titans ) is now a non negotiable banable offense and you will be fined 150m isk to be unbanned even if you apologize this rule will now be systematically enforced.
- 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 ) closest to your goods )
- Do not sell your Blueprint Original here unless you have 5 identical bpos.
- 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.
- all mails sent on the mailing list should follow the following templates : http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Bulk_Trade_%28Mailing_list%29#How_to_write_a_mail_for_the_mailing_list
- Auction CONTRACTS are not allowed.
- Sending a mail to the mail list with a public contract is not forbidden but is frowned upon by me.
- Want to buy offers mails are allowed but must respect the quantity rules.
- Linking/highlighting the items listed in the mails sent on the mailing list is mandatory especially if you are selling them.
- Blueprint copies are allowed but not capital blueprints packs like freighter packs or carrier packs.
- If you have different items 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.
- Regardless of quantity you must offer a bulk buyout price for your items to give the opportunity to buy your whole stock.
- Disciplinary actions will be taken against violators & Bans will eventually be issued without any prior warnings.( if the rule is very explicit in the rules list and you break it , you get banned).
- You need to give the following information : Price per unit 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.
- 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
