Guild Wars 2

I wanted to sell all my Christmas presents on the Black Lion Market (only about a hundred of them) for 1 gold apiece, figuring that I could just leave them there and over time the price of presents would rise. Little did I know that when I had posted this, the listing price was pretty high. I had lost nearly all my money doing this. So, to get my money back, I decided I would remove the items from listing and go pick them up. However, when I went to pick up the presents, I did not get my money back. To me, this is ridiculous. Shouldn’t I get the money I paid back if the items didn’t sell? I realize it is a “listing price,” a price for listing regardless of whether the items get bought or not, but had I known that it would cost so much to list these items and I would be out of a substantial amount of money for a long time, I would not have done it in the first place. Shouldn’t we be reimbursed for these mistakes, at least? Let me know what you guys think.

No. You admit full knowledge. You took a risk. You made a mistake. (Like we all do.) You pay the consequences. (Like we all do.)

Also, lol at listing a 100 gifts for 1 gold each!

They can’t give you your money back or else the BLTP could be used as storage for items (list incredibly high, pay price, get items back later and list fee). This is pretty much how it is designed, and is working as intended.

It sucks to hear that you suffered like this, but we’ve all been there. I just threw 50g away last night by accident doing something equally as silly, and while it pisses me off, them’s the breaks.

It tells you what the listing fee is before you put it up anyway.

You need to understand the risks and rules involved with trading on the outpost.

You also need to study the market more as to why you think the price will increase. Just cause you think it will isn’t exactly a safe judgment call.

Christmas presents in fact are probably one of the worst investments to make. Not enough profit per item.
