Guild Wars 2

Why are we paying a listing fee when we sell to a buy order? It seems kind of unbalanced for the seller. If a seller wants to sell for higher, he’d list them and pay a listing fee. But if the seller wants to quickly get rid of the weapon and sell at a lower price, why would he still need to pay a “listing” fee when all he’s doing is giving it to a person who’s buying it without any sort of listing?

it’s all just a gold sink but to put it into some sort of real world perspective,the listing fee is the fee the black lion co takes as commision on a sale. the 15% on the end is a tax.

5% listing fee 10% tax?

Sorry, yup. it isn’t 15 on the end but i cant edit that post…however, the spirit of my post remains

I believe in free market economics with my MMO’s and any tax is wrong.

Thus why some people resort to selling on map chat. If you want everything to be handled quick and fairly efficiently as well as securely, expect to pay a small fee for it. If you want to handle everything including actual handing over of goods, then broadcast in map chat for buyers (and hope you don’t get ripped off).

It’s not a tax. It’s a private company offering a service and charging a fee for that service.

Free market at its best.

If true, then I should be able to start my own consignment company.
