Guild Wars 2

I need to know if this is by design or not (like a fee for making a listing?)

I put an exotic Sam for sale on the market 2 days ago, noticed it was going much cheaper the next day so i decided to make the price more appealing only to find i lost roughly 20 gold by doing so…at that point i hadn’t realised what had happened until i logged in today wondering why i had 84 gold rather than the 105 i had last time i logged in. Checked to see if my sale had gone through only to see cheaper listings so i decided to drop my price again and my gold went from 84 to 66….Is this a bug? or is it by design? I’ve just lost 40 gold and I’ve no idea why!

When you post an item for sale, you pay a “tax”; 5% for when you post it, and then 10% when your item actually sells. So, you’ll be putting down 5% of the cost of your item when you post your item. That tax is not refunded if you remove your item from the list of Sellers, and if you repost it, 5% is taken out again.

Thank you, i didn’t know that happened (It should state it when you put something up for sale!)

It does state it, next to the price when you’re selling or buying an item.

I’ve never seen that before haha, although to be fair i’ve never had an item worth more than about 15 gold before so it’s my first time noticing it. I’ll blame this on the cold, thank you

lol, no worries. And you’re welcome.
