Buying ISK! (Shamelessly whoring myself)

[Nerf]

I'm sure the old folk know this already, but for the new people to Eve, it might be helpful to know that buying ISK is 100% legal and secured by CCP.

Assuming of course, you do it the right way and buy a GTC (Game TimeCard) and sell it for ISK via their secure method, buying from the chinese is still illegal and can get you stuck with a negative ISK balance in your wallet.

The process is pretty simple

1) Buy a GTC from an authorized retailer, I'd reccomend Shattered Crystal, many of our members have used them with great results and speed.
(Make sure you click on the link in my signature so I get a dollar!!!!!!!!!)

2) Once you receive your code, head over to the eve-online official forums->Timecode bazaar.  Make a post advertising your cards length and price.

Example: 30D GTC 180M -Secure Only- ONLINE NOW!

3) When someone replies to your post, head over to the "My Account" section, click on "Securely sell timecode" and follow the instructions, you'll put in the buyers name, amount you're offering the card for (ISK), and the timecode.

4) The seller goes to their "My Account" page, clicks accept, and CCP automatically adds the timecode to their account, removes the ISK from the buyers wallet and deposits it into yours.  (or, Profit!)


30D timecards sell for around 200M, 90days generally go for 380-450, depending on the day.

Also, remember to click the link in my sig if you're going to buy a timecard so I get a dollar!!

30D timecards sell for around 200M, 90days generally go for 380-450, depending on the day.

Definitely take a look at the going rate.  I sold one for 380M the other day (it was snapped up in less than 5 minutes) and saw somebody else sell two for 440ish almost immediately after.  You can always reprice lower if the market turns out to be slow.

Great way to get some starter cash to jumpstart things (get trained up and buy a ship suitable for ratting in 0.0, etc) without having to grind your way through a ton of L1 missions to scrape up enough cash for that first Battlecruiser.

I'm sitting at around 240M and thinking how nice a 90 day would be if I can wait a couple of weeks.

Yes..click the link...click it...you know you want to.

[Furiously]

No - I meant to buy one with in game ISK.

Oh, shoo, out of my thread, this thread is about getting me a dollar!

If you can spare the ISK though, buying GTCs is a great way to spend some cash, as soon as I pay off slayer and regel I'll be moving draken over to GTCs (alt is already paid til july)

Hate to start a red-light turfwar, but during the time I had my affiliate link in my sig I've accumulated 10$, which just yesterday got transferred to my PayPal account. As it's not possible for me withdraw money from my PayPal account without giving money to stupid middle-man bank fees all the money F13 has helped me get will be going back to F13.

Roughly every 30-day timecode equals a dollar, so not too shabby, yes. I will be buying my timecodes through Nerf's link though, since you don't earn from your own sales.
