Just found a really cool online ffxi auction house. What it is, is an online e-bay like site that you can buy/sell items on
it is free to use, and is NOT a rmt site. it uses ffxi gil
how it would work, is that you would bid/sell an item, and put it up for X amount of days. After that time is up, you get contacted with who is the buyer. Then, you two make a meeting place in-game, and sell or buy the item
here is a FAQ taken from the site, and is self explanatory.
General Questions
(Q)What is the purpose for this site?
(A)This site is designed to allow FFXI players to use a simulated auction system so that they have more flexibility in selling game items. This is NOT a Real Money Trade(RMT) site. I repeat NO REAL MONEY is exchanged by users on the site. Users will list their items and meet the buyer in-game to recieve payment in GIL.
(Q)How does the auction system work?
(A)The system is very easy to use. The seller posts an item for auction with a starting Gil price. This is the lowest amount of Gil the seller would accept for the item. Afterwards, other players can place bids on how much Gil they are willing to pay for the item. At the end of the auction duration, the highest bidder and seller will recieve emails. Then it is up to the seller and bidder to arrange a time and location to meet in-game to complete the transaction. After the transaction, the bidder and seller can comeback to leave feedback on one another to let other players no if they are legit or not.
(Q)What servers are supported?
(A)All servers are supported. When the seller posts an item for auction, they choose the server and the closest city where they are selling the item. After the auction is complete, the seller and buyer can chose where to meet on the server also.
(Q)Does it cost anything to join?
(A)Yes and No. By default, all registered users can sell, buy, and list want ads. For those users who want access to the more special selling features, then it will cost $2.00 every 30 days as a Premium member. Premium member transactions are handled through Paypal.
