Guild Wars 2

When listing fees exceed 50-150g, add some kind of confirmation dialog or something. This way people won’t lose excessive amounts of gold by typoing when trying to sell something that is worth 20 silver.

Another option is to add a confirmation when someone is listing something for a price exceeding the current max price by more than 50%.

There are many ways to go about deciding when to display the confirmation dialog, but you should definitely look into adding this.

It already tells you what the listing fee is. Take a moment to check the numbers and make sure everything is right. If you are careless and in a hurry, you’ll make mistakes. People still delete their characters by accident, despite the fact that you have to type your character’s name to delete it. Confirmation dialogs won’t stop it.

there’s already enough error protection in the game. I’m already annoyed that I have to confirm everytime I salvage rare items. Then there’s the BS about confirming you want to buy Icy Runestones.

People make mistakes anyway is a good reason not to have a confirmation dialog. Good job.

If you have to confirm that you want to salvage a rare item that is going to be worth half a gold max, I can see where it wouldn’t be insane to have to confirm that you want to list an item with a worth of 2 silver for 250g and lose a ton of money on a listing fee.

I can see where it’s insane because salvaging is a one-click operation. Listing an item a lot more involved.
