    Ok simple question is there a way to stop player vs player trade with money involved as I have seen a lot of items being sold in chat for way to little ie ender quarrys sold for 100 myms it hurts the economy is there a way just so people can buy off the market ? Ie not being able to use the pay command ?

    restricting the /pay i think would cause issue with ppl basing together where everyone pays a specific player to do claiming.
    if how ever the claim transfer could be used by players, they could still do claims in teams. but then again claims could be used as money.

    100 MyM's, hmm, I could also give it away for free, I guess. Wouldn't hurt me as an advanced player.
    I understand you totally but I don't see way to get a stable economy - if only in the slightest - with modded minecraft.

    You know you can only regulate the economy in modded MC so far since ressource generation is increasing steadily. That means if im a very very advanced player I can also just open a dispenser that gives away diamond blocks.

    you know what's worse IMO? the shop system, you lose like 20% of your money from recieving the cash and putting onto the market, which is disgusting with profits, which is why i stopped using the system to make money after monster

    If there was no 20% post tax, people would flood the shop with useless items with high prices

    you can make money, you just need to sell things at good amount, that will in the end overwrite the tax amount

    it may be minecraft, but you cant sell an item and not expect the thing/player selling the item to want a profit from you selling that item

    which is the exact reason why i sell by hand now, and i get to keep 100% of the money, which is how a cash-transaction in private works

    I must admit, I do find it a bit unfair that the market now charges you when you create the listing and then takes a 2nd cut of the sale when you collect it too..

    It should be one or the other really, either the listing should be free to create and then the market takes a % of the sale, or it should cost a % amount upfront, but then when the sale is completed you should get to keep the full amount the item was listed for.
