That's correct. If I get too many small exchanges, I may publish rates that change with the batch sizes again, with poorer rates of exchange for smaller batches. I used to do that because I was worried about getting swamped with small batch exchanges, but it hasn't been a problem.

Frankly, nothing. Although I think this has more to do with hope than trust.

I'm hoping to discover the real exchange rate between Dust and Eve, and to earn a modest commission for this undertaking. If my commission is immodest, or I fail to complete transactions, I can be sure that no one else will use the service I'm offering. They will either prefer someone with a more competitive exchange rate, or fore go any exchange.

I would suggest that I'm happy to mitigate the risk that I'm just a scammer, by using smaller batches initially.

If you don't feel like risking 12M Dust isk for 600M Eve isk. I'll start with smaller batches: 6M Dust for 300M Eve.

If I go much smaller than that though, the time for completing transactions might become more valuable to me than the potential profits from running an exchange. Keep in mind that I need to mitigate my risks as well; if CCP builds a much stronger link between Dust and Eve, so that very wealthy Eve players decide that they want to buy Dust isk, I could find my entire Dust isk holdings bought out very quickly.

The only other way I can think of to mitigate the risk of being scammed, is to state agreements here in the forum. If people are willing to waive their privacy, I'm entirely content to conduct each exchange in full public view, including arranging a time when we can both log on to complete the exchanges in Dust and Eve.

Honestly, I half expect to lose a little money getting this set up and running, but in the process show CCP that making a secure isk exchange between Dust and Eve is something their customers want and they should build.

I'd be perfectly happy to be put out of "business" by a CCP run, completely scam risk-free exchange. Maybe in the mean time, we as players can inform them of what exchange rate the market would bear.

Currently you can buy two Plex from CCP's Plex Store for $34.99. That's $17.50 per Plex.
...
That's ~$17.50 USD (if you bought two plex, instead of paying ~$20.00 USD for a single plex) for 161M Dust isk. That's 9.2M Dust isk per USD. If you pay ~$20.00 USD for a single plex, that's ~ 8M Dust isk per USD.

Too bad I have no EVE counterpart...
I'd be working on my 1st trillion dust isk if I did!

This is really cool. Do you have stocks?
