Guild Wars 2

I cancelled a listing on the trading post, to re-list at a different price but I never got the original listing fees back so once I re-listed them I was down like 8 gold:(

So is this right or a bug?

Thanks

A listing fee is just that, a fee. You don’t get it back.

As of this writing the TP fees are:

- 5% listing fee
- 10% transaction fee

Total of 15% fee for selling something. The fee is there exactly to keep people from constantly relisting expensive items.

Additional fees

Selling items on the Trading Post requires additional coin fees, based on the total sale price.

Listing Fee (5%) — This nonrefundable cost covers listing and holding your items for sale. This fee has a minimum of 1 Copper coin.
Exchange Fee (10%) — After a successful trade, the item exchange fee is deducted from coins delivered to the seller. This fee has a minimum of 1 Copper coin.

That is how it works for selling. Relisting is a killer

Okay thanks for quick answers, will be more careful about re-listing things next time.

It sucks gold out of the economy. Helps keep inflation down

The listing fee also keeps people from using the TP as storage.
