How to buy EP

To ensure trouble-free, you are advised to have e-banking service with your local banks, ie Maybank and Public bank ( in case of Malaysia). Don't do manual remittance in internet era. Please ensure the e-banking operating time is suitable for you to perform the transfer. Maybank e-banking service shuts down for scheduled maintenance daily from 12:00am ~ 01:30am, whereas PBe-banking from 12:00~12:15am.

• Each ID account is limited to a maximum 2 EP-buying transactions daily, effective 04/09/2011. It is UTC time zone dependent, not your local time.

• Each IP address is limited to EP-buying once in every 5 minutes, effective 26/02/2013.

• The EP that you wish to buy must not larger than the "Eligible EP Exchange value" in any case. This is termed as EP Exchange Escrow (number of robots x Market price ). Higher the value, larger the amount of EP you can buy.

1. Go to "Desk"  ,  " EP < > EP "  ,  Buying EP

2. Caution : Check the EP Exchange Escrow value.

3. Newly registered developers are not allowed to buy EP within 90 days after registration.

4. When buyer locks the EP purchase, buyer would have 6 hours to remit money and sending "Buyer Bank Transfer" message to seller, failure of doing this, will lead to auto cancel of transaction, regardless if the remittance has been done. Buyer will lose one star rating. Please apply e-banking service with the local participating banks, the entire flow will take about 3~5 minutes. Remember, very important reminder!

Option : You may add your Hp number in the "Bank Transfer Number" if deemed necessary,
            indirectly sellers have the option to contact you if required.
            You will be surprised the seller is your neighbour just a stone throw away.

5. Example of keying in the detail.

6. Wait for seller confirmation.

7. Wait for seller confirmation, seller should have reply within 72 hours.

8. When seller confirms "Receive" within 72 hours, this screen will appear in buyer's display.

9. 1. You may go to "Desk"  ,  " EP < > EP "  ,  History to check the transaction history. 
       Select type and date of transaction performed.
       When seller confirms "Receive" within 72 hours, this screen will appear in buyer's display.

10. Here is one example if a seller failed to reply "Receive" confirmation to buyer within 72 hours, the sold-EP auto released to seller and worse one is the seller star rating will evaporate by one. Once anyone loses all the star rating, one's account management will be in hot soup. Future EP selling transaction only with the company, where processing time is 90 days and 10% handling fees will be imposed.
