Why so many scammers on Char Bazaar nowadays?

that would help with the obvious stuff but CCP cant always know about hacked accounts at the time of transfer for instance… sometimes they dont catch that for a month or 3 down the road.

They could simply put the characters on sale in the game, in the market or by contract/auction with a simple mechanism that locks everything on that toon once it’s on sale. There would be a 1000 plex special fee to sell.
The seller will be responsible to post the toon on eveboard if he wants to sell.

you see in that topic any coments from ccp?
they dont interesting in fix scam.

I guess these characters are sold and then the money is RMT’ed during the time it takes CCP to react to the ticket.

This is exactly what is happening. The scammer problem is why I stopped buying characters, and I was one of the most prolific purchasers of characters for a long time. It’s not worth having my isk tied up for that long while CCP responds to the tickets.

WTS 120 m SP indy toon Purchased yesterday, all seemed well.

Woke up today to see this one made Sold! https://i.imgur.com/QI8Fnav.png And now they are claiming they “forget” what the number of the support ticket is, which should be in their email and at the link I so kindly handed them. No response since, and now I am giving them an hour before I go back down the support ticket road for being scammed. Still waiting on one of my other accounts to be unbanned, so it’s been a fun month.

Someone put in for 100 bid, and the seller straight up asked for isk to transfer the char…

Please read my response on the post to this accusation before crying out to everyone else. I am a first time seller. I have the right to accept a bid another character puts in if i believe it is right, not you.

Please remove this defaming post and as replied in the post which clearly didn’t agree to your agenda, please let me know if i’m doing anything wrong so i do not break any rules or do any harm.

And another confirmed scam here…

he has the right to reply in whatever time frame he wants, and also incase you forgot, youre not allowed to scam on the Character bazaar, and if someone attempts it, you lodge a ticket, and you get a full refund of your isk

Everyone is on edge the same they were last april when it was happening again Current state of Scams in time this too shall pass

Yes i know scamming is not allowed but the majority of the High SP sales, have been scams, and its taking weeks for people to get their isk back.

first time i saw scammer here. in april 2018. so ccp cant do anything for 1 year…

Hi All,

I’ve been away from the character bazaar forum for a few weeks now due to many scammers. Are they gone yet? Anymore scam going on? I hate having to wait 1-3 weeks to get my ISK back. let me know. thanks!

no, there’s been 3 caught and put on blast within days of each other.

no meaning more more scam going on? it’s safe to buy character again?

i mean no they are still here. its still been mainly the high SP ones, but even some just at 40-50 SP have been scams.

oh god… i can’t believe CCP lets this go on this long…

the one winston quoted, says he sold in game, now its back on sale again.

Brand new to this, but is there any way a seller can be scammed, if you follow the instructions stated in the Forum welcome post?
Got this to sell, but still trying to figure out how, without doing it wrong :smiley:
