Changes to Auction Rules
The following changes have been made to the
• Auction tax is now charged only after you sell the lot. In case the lot is not sold, the tax will not be applied.
• The item that you put on the Auction stays in your Backpack and continues to use a slot until it is sold. It will be displayed black-and-white in your Backpack.
• Bidding for a lot now lasts for 10 hours. This period can't be changed.
• Minimum starting bid is equal to the price of selling an item from your Backpack.
I agree. I also think that a couple copper for tax is worth being able to continue to play for 10 hours. I refuse to buy a bigger bag, etc. This is just another money making scheme to me.
and I like the idea of not having a listing fee until it sells
but as I tend to stay in one area attacking creatures in that area to gain cash/xp, I don't tend to sell anything until I want to go somewhere
meaning I currently have 40/20 items, put enough into AH to get down to 20, but with the new rule I can't move :/
also, a solution to the problem could be being selective about what you put on auction and sell the rest of your stuff straight from backpack?
p.s to people who have said about not being able to pay listing fee if it comes at the end of the auction, my advice would be include the listing fee in the price so you know you're covered :) (I've always been doing that even before this thing so I don't end up with a loss lol)
Furthermore, a flaw with the system I've just found out, getting items of the same type as ones you've put up for auction creates a new slot rather than going into the existing slot of that item
Maybe a 2 tier rent at tavern for storage slots would work
