When the items sells, you loose another 15%…

So…
1. When you put up an item for 15s, they take 75c as listing fee, money they take immediatly from your wallet.
2. When the item sells (for 15s), they take 1s50c as commission, money they take from the price, so that you end up with 13s50c in the TP to take.

5% listing fee paid immediately.

10% tax paid upon successful sale.

It even says “projected profit” or something when you’re about to post the item, doesn’t it?

What drives me insane about this is that there are so many posts on the topic you would have though that they would have added a hover over and help icon which explained this to players…..

Yes, I agree. It’s true that many players ask this exact same question. Some people blame that on those players. But knowing MMOs, these questions won’t go away unless the information that is provided in the game is better on this topic.

Projected profit does not take into consideration listing fee.

The mind is its own place and in itself, can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven.
