how tp work
The listing fee is 5%. It’s the price you pay to put an item on the trading post. When the item sells, you are taxed an additional 10%.
[sell price] x 0.85 = [profit]
In your case, 240g * 0.85 = 204g (216g – 12g listing fee)

Listing fees exist as a gold sink
It also serves as a way to discourage using the TP as a free bank, as well as limit the number of items on the outpost as much as possible to keep the outpost servers running smoothly

When you list an item on the Trading Post, the Projected Profit number shows you what you will receive after the 10% sales tax. Make sure to take that into account when you set your price.
The projected profit is a nice addition to the game but it appears at least a few people are confused. I didn’t pay attention but is there any indicator at all that there is the 10% aside from those of us aware of it don’t need to do the math any more because it is reflected in the projected profit? If so perhaps it’s visibility needs improvement or some people aren’t paying close enough attention to all the info shown?
