Should TrustMerchant Charge 10k ?

[Kinneas]

I don't think it should charge 10k personally. I think the commission fee is enough to remove gold from the economy (and it actually scales). Charging 10k to list an item that may not even sell is inconsequential for people with a lot of money selling a big item, but less so for someone trying to sell a few uncommon items for 20-30k or so. Whilst some people have made a decent amount of cash by now, I would definitely say most people still fall into the former category (myself included I'll admit), measuring their wealth in 10ks and 100ks rather than millions. If you're really trying to scrape together money in the first place, it's a bit offputting to have to risk 10k on an item that may not even sell - and in these early days of the game it's hard to know what actually will.

If the idea is to discourage these "cheap" items being listed at all then fair enough, but I would have thought that, especially at the moment, those items comprise most of the things being bought and sold and that we should be encouraging usage of the TrustMerchant, if anything.

I'm think 1k for the first 100k then 10k for everything else.. so many noob things aren't being sold purely because of the TM, the tm is there to help sales.. so surely it isn't working?

Anyone else spotted people selling items on the market for 5k, meaning they are selling items at a loss?

I admit I did that with my first item I put in when I was figuring the ropes and to make it even worse I 'took back' the item and I think I didn't get back the 10k fee

The problem is it takes the fee automatically from your bag, no OK button warning pple, although I admit it says it there in writing

This server's philosophy is screw everybody, play for yourself hard and give others hard shoulder, throw your items down the shop black hole and let the others fend for themselves, especially the lower levels

Yes, but fix shops so new players can buy the junk we sell!

 

[kuniva]

I think I voted no, didn't know if it worked. I would like to be able to put all my crap on it be they worth 5k or 50k, and I would also like to buy other peoples crap be it 5k or 50k ^^

I hate the 10k consignment fee. Do as usa server did and just charge commission and limit items to 5 per person on TM to stop clutter. No-one will end up using it how it is now..and unlike some I don't have the time to be standing around in towns all day buying and selling stuff!

Yeh

The amount of total retards in the world astounds me on a daily basis.

 

[jaffar91]

i would personally reduce it to 5k, the problem ive seen on servers is that some people (maybe not intentionally) will fill it up with total ****, so you have scan through all the useless noob items that are in store to find what your after

One person's cheap low level junk is another player's dream item.
Why try and change the car boot / ebay philosophy of some players simply to satisfy others ?
