What I described, there are no fees.

What you are describing is the internal transfer of PLEX via the in-game market and that is no different to any other item sold via the in-game market.

Which is why I answered in the way I did, otherwise you may as well have asked ‘are market fees a sink?’. Which of course they are as they remove isk directly at the point of transaction. Although as far as the global value of items within the game is concerned, fees have no effect.
