We already lose 10-30% of our item price to the market when the item is sold, why should have a price to put the item in market?
I put 2 items to sell today and I lost almost 100k to do it.
the first item I put to sell for 800k and I needed to pay more than 20k for it.
The second one I put for 3kk and I pay more than 80k.
This is really necessary?
Please IMC, remove this useless tax.
It’s probably meant as an additional silver-sink method to take silver out of the game.
Essentially you can see it as a single “12.5%” tax that we pay, with 2.5% upfront when registering and another 10% when successfully selling the item.
I’m trying to figure out if you’re exaggerating, or if the system has broken in the past week that I haven’t been playing too much… 
At an item that is listed for 800,000, the tax (10% + 2.5%) would be around 100,000, not 20k, wouldn’t it? Same for the “3kk” (3,000,000) item being around 375,000 or so? Then again, I’m too tired to math properly right now, so I probably shouldn’t talk…
That said, sinks are usually intended as a way to balance the economy, and somehow reduce the bot problem. Issue is that Devs never consider the fact that even if bots are getting banned (and their generated currency goes with them), some of it has changed hands again and again, via RMT or other forms of sale (even the legitimate kind). It’s in the system somehow, and even if it’s only 5% (an exaggerated and hypothetical number here) left, it would still result in a raise in price eventually.
The sink is kind of doing its job, though, for now, and will usually last the first 6-12 months of the life of a game before it becomes almost pointless… Unless they find a way to solve the bot problem completely.
