You have two ways to approach Guild Kiosks, as a Wholesaler or a Retailer. Wholesalers list items for less than the going rate to get the quickest sale. Sometimes normal buyers grab those, but mostly it's people who are going to turn around and flip it for a higher price, close to the going rate. There are people who play this game just for trade. I am glad for that myself, it makes for an active economy.

Retailers set the highest price they think they can get and wait for it. I have had Daedric Motifs sit in the Guild Store for 29 days before they sell, but I am not lowering the price on those for a quick sale. I have had Dropped set pieces take 20 to 25 days to sell, not because they were priced high, but the person who needs that exact piece may not come around that often.

So, price to wait or price to sell, it's up to you. But to reduce the limit to less than 30 days is not the answer. Reason, I don't want to lose the listing fee in just a week or two, especially on a 40,000 gold Motif.

Now I can see an option, chosen by the seller, to have the sale cancel if it does not move after a certain amount of time, but you still lose out on the listing fee. (it's taken from your gold at listing, not when it's sold in case you were wondering why the money you get seems like it's higher than it should be)

You can already do this manually with that exact consequence by looking at your listings tab in the guild store.

The current 30 day option gives sellers the option to cancel and relist something at a lower price at any time that's convenient if they feel it is not selling fast enough. The proposed option of two day listings would just clog up mailboxes with expired items and force people who don't want to spend all of their limited game time playing merchant to do exactly that in order to sell their things. Or not list items at all because it's too much of a hassle.

If the issue is that you don't like the turnover as a buyer on the guild stores you are shopping in, try some different guild stores. Top guild stores often have sales quotas (I just got kicked from one for having a busy week and not meeting mine for the week) and sellers have a lot of incentive to turn over items faster if they want to stay in those guilds.

Depending on how short listings become, then listing fees should be lowered.

Just about everything sells. I wanted to test things out, so I listed a whole bunch of just junk foods and drinks, and to my surprise, quite a lot of them have sold. Sure I don't ask for much at all, but it does sell.

I like the 30 day limit, I just want more slots to be able to sell in. Had to join another merchant guild, because I was full on listings in the first one.
