Is it a good idea to waive the listing fee until the item is either sold or when the player remove it from TP? Suppose you got something that can be sold for 1k gold, but darn now you gotta wait till you find that 150g just to list it. I understand listing fee acts like a quasi gold-sink, but postponing it won’t make any dent on that purpose, will it? either way the player will have to pay that amount, and moving that charge to the end of the transaction makes it easier to sell.

imagine the example you list an item for 250g under your method
you get undercut again and again to the point where your item is NOT going to sell at that price
ok you think so i will just delist this item and relist at where the price has settled to….. Oops no you have come to a problem, you dont have enough gold to cover the listing fee so you can’t delist that item.

OR a more sinister version

As it is people can’t list items for more gold than they have. On the small scale it creates the sort of issues you are referring to. On the larger scale though, say with an item as rare as a legendary or even rarer, at least in part the price will be restricted to within the amount of gold the lister has

So you mean i can just list the 100 stacks of leather in my vault for 1g each on the tp and store them there without a fee?

If you want to pay so much to store them I guess you can. Cost a lot to remove them though.

I agree though OP idea not a good one.

I like the idea of making it easier for poorer players to sell stuff if they get a lucky drop. I don’t think there’s any good way to do that without allowing richer and market-savvy players the ability to take advantage of the mechanic.

Put another way, I think it would be a lot of work on ANet’s part for something of limited value to a limited number of people. I think the current system is sufficient for the moment.
