Taxes

[Tint]

i have a feeling that the taxes by selling items don't work as they should be.

when i put an item on the market, then it tells me how much taxes i have to pay and shows me how much money i will get when the item is sold, with taxes taken into consideration - but the problem is: this number is not correct.

also the number on the market board is shown without taxes, means the price on the board is also not correct.

example... when i put an item let's say on the market in limsa and a person buys the item from the market board in limsa, then neither i or the person who bought the item are paying taxes.

when a person buys the same item from the market in ul'dah, then I and the person who bought the item will pay taxes.

this means basically that the person who buys my item decides how much money i will get at the end. and in one case none taxes are payed at all and in the other case the taxes are payed twice.

i don't think this is fair.

i think only the seller should have to pay taxes, and he should have to pay them all the time (regardless of where the buyer buys the item), and the buyer don't have to pay taxes (just like in real world). then the seller knows exactly how much money he will get from selling, thanks to the preview with taxes calculated in, and the buyer will also exactly know how much he has to pay (without clicking through all the items to see the taxes).
