Projected Profit suggests a high total fee

Please explain this screenshot:

According to the official wiki and all online fee calculators, the total fees after listing and selling are 85% – 5% up front for listing, and 10% sales fee. The official wiki also explicitly states that the 15% are calculated on the total price, not for each individual item.

According to what I’m seeing in game here, however, the total fee is either 25% or 30% – anyone care to explain what I’m seeing please?

You pay at least 1c sell on fee per item.

So if you are selling an item for less than 10c, you pay more than 10% sell on fee.

Unless you sell for 1c, in that case, the sell on fee gets waived and you only pay the listing fee of 5%, which again will be at least 1c.

You’re seeing the reason why it’s pointless to sell stuff that cheap.
