Guild Wars 2

hello,

so today I was selling Spark. I placed 630g as selling price and listing fee was 30 g, but when I opened BL trading window to collect the gold, there was only 570 g ? How is that possible ? Listing fee not 30 g but 60 g ?

thank you

lol TP has tax

15char

5% listing fee
10% sales tax

Listing fee is paid when you ‘list’ the item out of your wallet, sales tax when it’s actually sold from the profit*.

Edit: * from the sales amount, not technically profit

Only got 570g?

Seems like a first world problem if any.

Return gold from TP = [ 100% – 5% – 10%] x (Listing Price),

where the 5% is the listing fee -> (you pay upfront when you place the item, regardless if you sell the item or not)
and 10% is the sales fee -> (you only pay after the sale and it’s deducted in the end).

/cheers

and people complain about TP trader making a lot of gold. We get tax to death.

I had over twenty gold stolen on the Trading Post because I did NOT understand that the money is taken out BEFORE the item is sold.

This isn’t a trading post as much as it is a theft ring.

Call the police and tell them ANet is running a theft ring.

Then google gold sink and inflation.

Then read wiki occasionally, for grins and giggles.

There are two Trading Post fees, both paid by the seller; they total up to 15% of the total sales price.
A non-refundable listing fee of 5% (minimum 1 ); this is paid when you post and is not returned if you remove the order.
A 10% tax on successful sales; this is deducted from the amount available at pickup.
Although both fees are listed in the trading panel, the “projected profit” only deducts the 10% sales tax.

Ummmm marrrrrrrr
