Consignment Fee on completed sale ONLY

[Deathpunch]

sincerely support this... 10% is crazy
STS is gold hungry
5k for selling something worth 60k, if you can't sell in first 12 hours, 25% of hard earned gold already gone,what kind of high risk investment is this?

25%? 5k of 60k is 1/12th, or just about 8.3%. A full 66% less than what you claim.

Still, 5k out of a 60k item when gold is hard for you to get (not being able to buy platinums) is, a lot.

Once again the fee is pretty large, i put up an item in the SL auction for 30k and the fee was under 500c... STS, i believe you have nerfed the price to put up auction items... A lowering would be greatly appreciated

I don't buy plat and I have enough to get by and purchase what I need.

The fee is fine - maybe only a slight reduction. The consignment shop is saturated enough as it is without there being 0 risk to putting up items.

Is it annoying? Yes. However, you CAN make money without buying any gold, just learn to take advantage of the market.

Maybe, but others maybe not. Example, the OP.

I think a fee is ok but too high at the moment.

The fee is fine.... If anything it should be lowered/raised to 5%. 5% seems like it would be a fair balance.

I like the fee the way it is. There should be a cost for listing items. If you are afraid your item won't sell, then don't charge as much for it. If as the OP suggested, fees were only charged on completed sales, then folks would inflate the price of everything way high in the hope that someone buys it, and then keep trying as there would be no cost to keep relisting the same item over and over.

I am a very successful merchant in PL, and I can tell you that the listing fee is what makes it possible to be a merchant. That's why folks will sell to you less, because they want to avoid the listing fee and not knowing how much to charge, and then maybe it doesn't sell and they have to relist. If you got a problem with the way it works, then sell to a merchant and go farm for more pinks.

If they make it too easy for regular folks to list items in the CS, then there would be no need for merchants. Having merchants makes the game more interesting. As I said, you should sell to a merchant and let them worry about all the listing costs, etc.
