Certainly an interesting situation and one to take note of. But in my case, I hadn’t bought anything. It was all sales.
The Items sold tab lists what I sold and how many and for how much. When I multiply it all out it’s no where near the right amount. I knew something was wrong based on the total that I saw. If it had barely been off I might not have caught it. But ~75% hit was a bit too much to overlook.

Kalbee your issue is that the trading post has 2 fees.
1) the listing fee. This is deducted from your money in your inventory when you list the item. This is 5% of the listed price.
2) the 10% cut the Trading post takes when you sell an item. In your case you got exactly the right amount. 10% of 3 g is 30s.

In order to make a profit at trading post your bare minimum markup should be 20%. Personally I don’t do it if it’s less than 50%. Not worth my time otherwise. My particular issue was I got docked about 75% instead of 10%.

Yep. That’s what I mean. Add up what is listed under items sold since I logged out last night and through today and it was about 50s short. Approximately 75% of the gross was not given to me.

Sold around 80s worth of stuff according to adding up what is in my sold items tab around 7 hours ago. There is only 21s waiting for me. I did the math because I knew 21s was way short. If i sold 80s worth I should be getting around 72s after the House cut.

How do we ever go about getting that money replaced?

SOld a bunch of mats last night. If i do the math I should recceive something like 80s minus 10%. Instead I’ve got 21s waiting for me. Losing 75% of the money I have coming isn’t very efficient.

Has anyone else bothered to add up what it should be compared to what they get? I’m not talking about the 10% House cut. The difference is astronomically higher than that.
