Idea against Undercutting at the Marketboard (The next.. )

[Xystic]

Add a listing fee. Make it 1%. Remove retainer fee. A 1M gil item would then cost 10k to list and another 10k to relist. That would make people think twice about undercutting.

The issue is the initial undercut. Your competitor automatically will list his/her price below yours locking your items up on the market board. People have this misconception that undercutting occurs after the initial listing but your competitor will undercut you on his/her first listing.

Not to mention, he/she can automatically list it at the minimum profit margin knocking you completely out of the market because if you relist, you relist at a profit loss.

Listing fees have been discussed heavily and we know that even with a listing fee, it does nothing to deter the initial undercut.

Listing fees is a no no.
