Ok.
Here is the story that made me scared.

I find myself at a random station in EvE.. I check Market and something really strange happens.

I see this particular item which I can buy for like 20 isk each - that's a normal price - and in several different stacks. 1 stack with about 10 million, another 15 mil, and the last 12 million.
Then I look at the buy orders.. and I see a HUGE order where the SAME ITEM sells for 120 isk each - The catch you ask? - Yeah, the catch is that I have to sell 24 million at the same time.



Now I would really like to know...

Is this some form of scam? (where maybe a bot cancels the buy order when I have bought the items required to fullfil the buyorder needs)
Or do u think this is legit?

I think it's extremely suspicious!.. And I am not touching this trade until I am pretty much sure that it's not a scam of some sort.. :/

You dont have to fill the entire buy order. You can sell one item at a time, but the buy order stays there until the entire order has been filled or the time runs out. If its a scam, I dont know. Try buy 10, sell them and repeat.

Actually I do have to. The buy order is made in that way.


Edit; This is also the reason why I need fg atm.

And if there is a guy who could sell some isk to allow me to make the ingame transaction, I will would like to let the trade go back again in-game-trade is done. ofc I will be paying a fee of some sort.

Edit2; I could send u a screenshot of it.

If you are talking about normal market buy orders, they work just like i said they do. If you are talking about contracts, thats a whole other universe.

Market related buy orders can be set up so that the seller must have a minimum quantity to make the trade.

it is a scam .

yeah.
After a long time I found a post that explained how to setup a scam like that, with Margin Trading.

And Thanks!

Ok, that is new to me, thanks and sorry.
