LeapingLemur Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 No. You can't get the influence back once you post an item. Post carefully, especially if it's for a large amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miaasma Posted August 7, 2019 Author Share Posted August 7, 2019 oh, i've just never noticed that then, i guess since i've always only used the auction house with a 50 character and thus had enough influence not to notice lol thanks for the reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeapingLemur Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Sometimes it's difficult to get the recent sales to come up to see what you should choose as a list price. I've always had luck, however, placing a mock purchase of 1 influence then hitting the "find" button to see what the most recent sales are. It's helped me not price something that's not going to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironblade Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 The purpose of this is to prevent people from trying to wring out every last inf from a sale. You can't post at a high price, reduce it a little if it doesn't sell, etc. I mean, you CAN, but it will cost you. The system encourages you to post an item at a reasonable price on the first try. Originally on Infinity. I have Ironblade on every shard. - My only AE arc: The Origin of Mark IV (ID 48002) Link to the story of Toggle Man, since I keep having to track down my original post.

There are two fees for selling (none for buying). First one is the posting fee, which is the minimum maximum of 5% of your asking price, or 5 inf. That is gone as soon as you post and you lose it if you take down your offer. The second one is the sales fee, which will be the difference between your posting fee and 10% of your sales price. You will always walk away from a successful sale with 90% of the proceeds of your selling price. Edited August 8, 2019 by Yomo Kimyata Who run Bartertown?

MyriVerse Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Quite a few times, you'll get more than your asking price. So, I'll bet it sorta evens out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
