Trading And Auctions

How Trading Bazaar offers, Frostbid bids, escrow, fees, and settlement work.

Updated September 18, 2026

Trading Bazaar

  1. Create a listing. List up to 20 tradeable inventory items, describe what you want, and choose a duration. Twelve-hour posts are free; longer posts show a fee.
  2. Make or compare offers. Offers can include items, SC, or both. Each offer has a private thread for clarifying the deal.
  3. Update, revoke, or accept. Offerers can edit active offers. The listing owner chooses which offer to accept, and both sides transfer atomically.

Cancelling can cost more. Cancelling a listing that already has offers costs twice its posting fee. Offerers get their escrow back.

Frostbid Auctions

  1. List one item. Choose a starting bid, optional Buy Now price, and duration. The item enters escrow and the listing fee is paid up front.
  2. Bid from your wallet. A leading bid locks its full SC amount. Buy Now settles immediately when available.
  3. Watch and settle. Save auctions or item types, follow the countdown, and review the result in My Auctions.

FAQ

What is escrow?
Listed or offered items and committed SC are held outside your usable inventory or wallet until the trade, offer, or auction resolves.
Can I change a Trading Bazaar offer?
Yes. You can update or revoke an active offer before it resolves. Declined, revoked, expired, and unaccepted offers are returned.
What happens when I am outbid?
Your previous leading bid is returned automatically. You can then decide whether to place another bid.
Does Frostbid charge sale fees?
Yes. A completed sale deducts a 5% seller fee. Cancelling after a bid also refunds the bidder and pays them a 20% current-bid penalty from the seller.
