As the chatter for a simple trading mechanism increases, it got me thinking, as it's a "send X item to Y person"
there is plenty of room for a New Eden style scam, but with the right middlemen in a position of trust, this risk could
be reduced to a more comfortable level.
For people who know and trust each other, there is no need for this.
Likewise, corpmates trading amongst themselves could use the CEO as a middleman to guarantee a safe trade.
My scenario is more like the people who are in my position - I have a ton of BPO's to get rid of, but know few
people well enough to be able to blindly send them a BPO and expect items/ISK in return.
Are there any middlemen who exist in the community, even on the forums or in-game who provide these kinds
of services. Maybe someone who has sold BPO codes in exchange for ISK or some such mechanism?
I imagine of course the mechanism would work roughly like this:
1) Both parties agree on what to trade/buy/sell and which middleman to work through
2) Both parties send items/isk to middleman
3) Middleman confirms with both parties what they are going to receive and commission he is going to take.
4) Both parties say OK
5) Middleman completes exchange
6) Both parties very wow, much happy.
Looking forward to trading with you all. |

Thanks for putting a price on it. Just out of interest, in theory the buyer and seller both pay 10%? so for the sake of argument, I want to give someone a Dren Shotgun BPO (which i have a few of!), and want a uplink BPO in return, we'd each pay our 10% of what we are selling or what we are buying? Also, how are BPO's priced in ISK - You just take the BPC ISK price?

Of course we won't know the final mechanics until it's live, but chances are it won't be anything too complicated.

Nope, just the seller. I was originally going to make it the buyer but I figured it'd be better if I made the seller pay since they could simply add on the 10% price to the negotiated price. For item barters however, both parties would pay the 10%. And the case of a BPO, it would simply be the Base ISK Price multiplied by 5. So, your Dren Shotgun would cost around 50k to send. APEX's however, will simply cost 100k to transfer.
That sounds pretty reasonable actually. The new meta will be enjoyable. I have just an immense amount of stuff to trade/sell. The middlemen "market" will also develop it's own pricing and mechanisms. Props to you for putting yourself out there.
