  Examples: !sell plate armor 10 cc, !sell 2 knight armor 5 pc

• Backpacks/containers:
  • To sell a backpack, put the EMPTY backpack in the ammo slot and sell it from there.
  • You always sell exactly 1 backpack per command.
• Category (Swords/Axes/.../Other) is auto-detected.
• Each offer is saved with your world and can be bought only on the same world.
• Cooldown: 2 s.

3. Buying - !buy <offer_id>

• Buying is allowed only in PZ.
• Currency determines payment:
  • CC - buyer pays gold using the rate 1 CC = 10,000 gp.
  • PC - buyer must have enough PC - premium coins.
• Capacity is checked before purchase.
• You cannot buy your own offer.
• Race-safe: the offer is reserved atomically and deleted during the transaction.
• If anything fails, funds are refunded and the offer is restored.
• Cooldown: 2 s.

4. Seller payouts

When your listed item is sold, the payment arrives as a parcel in your Depot idle. Open the parcel to collect the coins. You won't see the buyer's name - only the payout.

• What's inside? If the offer was in CC, the parcel contains Crystal Coins. If it was in PC, the parcel contains Premium Coins.
• Seller online: the parcel is created in your Depot idle immediately after the sale. You also receive a message: "Your offline market offer has been sold."
• Seller offline: the parcel with the payout will be created in your Depot idle automatically on your next login.

Important: make sure you have free space in your Depot idle. If there is no room for the parcel, the payment will be lost.

5. Cancelling your offer - !cancel <offer_id>

• Only the owner of the offer can cancel it.
• Requires PZ and respects the 2 s cooldown.
• Cancellation fee: 5000 gp.
• Returned items are delivered to Depot idle in a parcel.

6. Restrictions & safety
