Guild Wars 2

TP is the same as ebay. Undercutting by 1c is part of the process.
If there was an easy and convenient way to reundercut without withdrawing the item, (for a penalty or not), and re-listing the item, that would sound more reasonable.

It isn’t. You don’t necessarily sell your item on ebay because you’re 1 cent lower than other people, it isn’t absolute like it is on the trading post. There are other factors to consider. That isn’t a very good comparison.

So many people in this thread don’t understand why this is a big deal… on a 5g item the 1c is so irrelevant. You shouldn’t be able to undercut by .01% and sell first because you’re technically “lowest.” I have a feeling that a lot of people haven’t tried selling the 5g+ items in the game yet, they don’t have a quick turnover. If someone undercuts you by 1c it can literally cause you to wait HOURS. You can’t simply re-list for 1c under them making it “competitive” because on a 5g item it costs you ~25s to re-list.

Something needs to change imo, I think someone had a good idea by saying to undercut you would have to do so by 1-2%. That’s significant enough that people would be hesitant.
