Guild Wars 2

I am not very good at Math or just I don’t know the mechanics but I don’t understand how this works:
I sell the item for 25G 49S the Fee is 1G 27S and the projected profit is 22G 94S
25.49-1.27 is not 22.94,why the fee is double?
Thx f help in advance.

Basically the shown fee is the listing fee.
On the TP there are two different ‘taxes’ when selling items, one is an up front payment, the listing fee, which is 5% of the sale price. There is also sales tax when the item sells which is another 5% of the original sale price, for a total of 10%.

Listing fee is 5% .. sales fee is 10% .. so its 15% in total.

The projected profit however doesn’t show the listing fee that is directly subtracted
from your inventory.

I don’t even dare to ask how much cost to sell 1 Legendary…thx f answers :-D

You lose that 5% no matter what when you put anything on the trading post. You pay that up front. The number you see at the end is the Sell Price minus the 10% fee. It assumes you remember that you also paid a listing fee earlier whenever you posted it.

You can cancel your listing at any time and you don’t pay that 10% fee, however you do not get your 5% fee back. I don’t think a lot of people know that considering how often I see people pull their listings down and repost them if they are ever undercut.

They don’t realize that each time they do that they are cutting into their profits.

In many cases they end up losing money on the transaction because they don’t factor in that listing fee.

next time, I would be lazy and use a third party website
