when i put something up for sale i have to depsoit some amount
when my item sells i get some amount back that isnt equal to the amount it sold for. do i get the deposit back minus some commission *what i thought it was* or something else?

example i put up an item with a buyout of 3s it sells for the 3s i deposited 12c to setup th auction i get back 2.97s from the item. i put another item up for a buyout of 10s the deposit costs something like 58c it sells and i get back 10.02s.

anyone know or read what the actual procedure is?

You lose the deposit regardless for listing the item, and then the game takes some commission as well for a successful sale.

but this doesnt seem right since how do i receive more than 10s on the item that had a buyout of 10s? *and it wasnt overbid cause it sold long before the timer would have run out*

There's two two things. Deposit and Commission.

Your listing doesn't sell, you lose the deposit but pay no commission.

Your listing sells, you get your deposit back but pay commission.


You probably got back more than you sold it for cause you deposit was so high. So basically upon selling it you got paid (10s - commission) + 58c deposit = 10.02s

edit: Oops. I wrote the wrong equation.
