Bought Advanced Mining Pack but cannot buy barge

[Olden Sloe]

Purchased the Advanced Miner pack, redeemed in account, skills and plex appeared, injected skills, bought a Mining Barge TWICE from Market, took my money but no ship delivered. Help please Have submitted a ticket but do not wish to wait 48 hours to get what I have already overpaid for [In Game money wasted on two barges that did not get delivered. In addition, the 7 day skill clock is already running....

Items in EVE are not delivered to the station you're in.
You buy them from the station they were placed on the market and have to go pick them up.

More than likely you bought from a station that you're not in.
The "buy this type" finds the cheapest priced item in range, even if it's not in the station you're in.
If you look in "Personal Assets" it will show you what station the barges are in.

Thanks for quick reply. Bought in the station I was in. Looked in "Personal Assets" but still no barges in any station I have left goods or any other station. I am feeling "Depleted" over this purchase... lol Still trying to get fixed as my 7 days runs down.

Personal assets updates once every tick (20 minutes). Try checking again now. Make sure next time what the location is of the mining barges' sell orders.

Do you have to be in the delivery station when you buy the ship or can you buy it from another station and then pick up???

You can purchase remotely and then pick it up.

Then I have a Failed Delivery - no idea why... 1st purchase may be last purchase if support cannot help me out. Thanks for your input...

Just on a hunch, how much was the barge?

I guarantee that the issue is user error. If by some magic reason the market did glitch out (which never happened to me in over 15 years of playing the game, and I'm a trader), then support will restore your money/assets.

We would be better able to help you if you can provide some screenshots. You don't have to do entire screen captures if you use the snipping tool to show only what we need. Can you show us the wallet entry, your assets list with the barge(s) highlighted, and your ship hangar?

about 55,000,000

Already sent a shot to Tech Support. Waiting for response.

I am super-curious what's going on, though.

There has to be an explanation for whatever happened. A support ticket might be unnecessary.

Okay, my hunch was incorrect.

[Olden Sloe]

Resolved. A Covetor mysteriously appeared this morning. Ticket response confirmed both my incorrect actions in buying two more "MINING BARGE OPERATOR - EXPERT SYSTEM" with ISK, and my history showed my purchase of the Covetor yesterday but ship did not show up until today. I suspect the ticket fixed my missing ship. My purchase of the Covetor was done from a different sector and station which is what caused the failed delivery??? Consider the issue resolved. Thanks for all the input...

I kind of have a feeling that what happened is that you made a market buy order for the Covetor, instead of purchasing one of the market entries listed. And at some point during the past day, it was probably filled by another player (likely, since the default buy price is by default right below the lowest sell price).

I actually see a lot of mistakes like that on the market but mostly with sell orders. E.G. the following scenario:

Product A has many sell orders on the market, with the cheapest being 1,000,000 ISK. It also has many buy orders on the market, with the highest being 900,000 ISK. A player wants to sell a single product A on the market, but instead of using the "immediate" option to sell to a 900,000 ISK buy order, they make a timed sell order instead, and accept the default recommended price of 900,100 ISK. Then that item goes on the market and becomes the cheapest sell order, beating the next cheapest by almost 100,000 ISK. Of course at that price, it won't stay up for long. The only issue is that timed orders cost a broker's fee, so the player ends up getting a bit less money.
