It's the same with COD mail, and for some reason it doesn't seem to scale properly. First time I sent an item COD for 1500g I noticed the 110g tax at exactly the same time that I pressed send. Then a few days later I tried to send 2 items (same items) for 3000g and the tax was for some reason 660g. I do realise it says the price is determined by the item AND the COD value, but this increase seems insane. Maybe it's not working as intended though and that's why they disabled mail, I still haven't seen a solid answer as to why they disabled it in the 1st place.

All this is going to do is make people not want to use guild shops and to spam the /zone chat. I know that's what I've been doing for the past 3 days.

There already seems like enough gold sinks in the game already without bleeding guild shop users dry. Horses, bag/bank slots not to mention repair costs (I managed to get a 688g repair bill for level 8-12 medium armor, 2 green rest white items, it's cheaper just to craft a new set lol)

Making any kind of high quality item has a risk already. If you make a gold bow, try to sell it in chat first before posting in store.

This is just one of the things that has me really unimpressed with the functionality of guild stores. I joined a guild dedicated to merchants, and almost nobody ever sells anything. I can't say I blame them, because I try to sell now and then, but in order to do so, I need to price gouge my guildies in order to cover the fees and still make it more profitable than selling to an NPC (which would also give me the advantage of getting my money immediately because NPCs don't dither about whether they're being overcharged).

Say what you will about public auction houses destroying economies, in City of Heroes, I could buy and/or sell stuff for a price I was content with, then get back to adventuring.

I'm confused why do MMO's companies even charge a "Tax" It's virtual money not like it goes to new content development or salaries. What are they even using it for?? I understand the portion going to your guild, but why would ZOS need a cut too? We need more transparency here.

I agree with eq2imora_ESO paying a quarter the asking price just to have it evaporate into thin air does not lead to people talking to people it leads to spam so that people can sell their items and get all their money. I can understand gold sinks but that's not a sink that's a whirlpool.
