Guild Wars 2

I have noticed when I take an item out of the trading post to change the sell price I did not get any refund on the 20+ silver posting fee. Shouldn’t we get a refund on the fee for items we did not sell? I think it is quite a big money sink to not have a refund feature and painful for crafters like me that need to repost items to get a proper sale.

I don’t think a refund on listing fees would be a good idea. The current system keeps the prices reasonable. If you exaggerate nobody will buy your items and you will lose money, so most sellers think twice before they offer things too expensive. And if you don’t want to take the risk, you can always just sell to the highest buyer.

Total Tax is 15%, 5% of that tax is the up front listing fee. This fee protects people that post for X then someone removes their post to place the item 1c cheaper. Which is totally stupid because now they suffer an overall 20% fee.

And it is nice to bait people that post high. Then place an item 1c lower then watching them uproot and bid 1c lower than your solo listing, then place another item from your stock 1c lower.

It forces power traders out of particular line of items.

The listing fee is a necessary evil.
