Guild Wars 2

So today I was selling an item for 45G , the listing fee was 2g 50s. Why do I only get 40G when it sells? What is the 5G lost for, some sort of selling tax? As I don’t see this mentioned anywhere on the Trading Company.

As 7g 50s lost seem’s an awful lot.

Yeah, there’s a 5% listing fee, and a 10% sales tax.

There’s a 5% listing fee that’s taken from your inventory when you place the listing, and there’s a 10% fee taken out of the selling price after a successful sale.

In total, this means you only get back 85% of the price you list, so keep that in mind when deciding how expensive an item should be.
