How is the Auction House Fee calculated

lord-of-the-rings-online

When selling stuff in the Auction House there is always a toll, or a tax. Is there a percentage or a formula as to how much you will have to pay in order for the tellers to sell your stuff for you.

Best Answer

To post an item on the Auction House, the amount you need to pay depends on how long you want your item to appear for:

  • 8 Hours = 6% of how much you could sell the item for to a vendor
  • 24 Hours = 20%
  • 48 Hours = 40%
  • 72 Hours = 60%

But if you successfully manage to sell your item to someone, you will get the fee you paid back, but instead a 5% cut will be taken from you

If you are unable to sell the item, then you will not receive your posting fee back. The 5% fee will not be charged for you, however.

So, there are two fees:

  • The "posting fee", that you pay when you post the item, and get back only if the auction is successful

  • The "sold fee", which is paid only if you sell the item.
