Introduction

This is a system that will now allow players to sell items through an NPC that acts as a middleman. You sell the items you want to sell to the merchant. The merchant will then add your items to its shop. You will no longer have to leave your computers on and stay in merchant mode if they plan to sell something. You may use the Merchant Mart as a middle man, and then do anything you want. You can go train, log off, chat with friends, surf the web, or anything else you feel like.



The merchant will charge a deposit fee that you will need to pay to use it. It will be refunded only if the item is sold. If the item is not sold or canceled then the deposit fee will not be refunded. The merchant will charge a 5% service fee.

Note: This is not an auction system as its original name suggests. The system is essentially like eBay but restricted to the BuyItNow feature.

How To Sell

Talk to one of the Trading Merchant NPC’s mentioned above. On the popup window, click on “Experience the Trading Agent Services”.
Click on the “Registration” tab. You will see your current list of items for sale and your inventory popup. Find the item that you want to sell and drag it to an empty slot in the list. A popup will ask for the amount of that item you want to sell and how much to sell them for (total price, if more than one). Keep dragging items over until you have placed everything you want to sell. You can sell packages of items (such as Heaven Stones) that stack in your inventory. You cannot sell packages of items like armor that do not stack. You may list up to 10 items for sale.

These NPCs will charge a fee for depositing items for sale. The first item will be charged 1000 gold, the second item will be charged 2000 gold, the third item will cost 3000 gold and so on.

In the pictured example, I dragged the 12 Heaven Stones you see into the first slot. I wish to sell them for 3 million gold each. So the total is 36 million gold for all 12. So I type 12 in the first text box and 36000000 in the second. Notice that I did not put any commas or anything when I gave the price. The NPC will put my Heaven Stones for sale and charge me 1000 gold once I press confirm.

The Merchant Mart NPC will charge a tax on every sale. The tax is a 5% of your sale. So lets say someone buys the 12 Heaven Stones I put for sale. I will get 36,000,000 less the 5% tax for a total of:

(36,000,000) - (5% * 36,000,000) + (1000 deposit fee) = 34,201,000 gold

If you do not want to sell an item that you have listed for sale, just click on it on the list and then click the "Cancel" button. Items do not stay on sale forever. They only last for about 5 days. If it does not sell by then, you will loose your deposit fee, the sale will be canceled, and your item(s) will be placed in the "Receipts" tab. To get the item into your inventory again, you go to the "Receipts" tab then click the "Receipts" button. Clicking on the "Receipts" button will transfer all the listed items to your inventory. Note: You must transfer items in your "Receipts" tab within 15 days.

If one or more of your items sell then you will get a notice similar to the one to the left. This notice will appear in the lower right area of the game screen -- as all other notice icon do. Also if you do not sell your item(s) within the time limit then you will also get a notice.

IMPORTANT:

• You will be charged a deposit fee which will be refunded if that item is sold.
• If you cancel a sale, you will loose that item's deposit fee.
• The seller that pays the tax, NOT the buyer.
• Items are added as packages. The price you enter is NOT per item but rather for the group. So if you put 25 Heaven Stones in and set the price as 1 million then it will mean that all 25 Heaven Stones will be put for sale for 1 million gold.
• If you used Collector Ryl to change the class of a weapon or armor then you may have to change it back in order for it to sell.
  
• You may have to go to the first sub server of your server group to get your gold. Some players will only get a notice of selling an item on the first sub server. If you are on other sub servers then you may not get a notice. If this is the case for you then you can check if one or more of your item is missing from registered items. If so then it most likely will have been sold. So just go to the first sub server to get your gold.
  

How To Buy

Talk to one of the Trading Merchant NPC’s mentioned above. On the popup window, click on “Experience the Trading Agent Services”. The window defaults to the list of items that players have for sale. It will look empty at first, but simply click on "Search" to see the items up for sale. Putting your mouse over the icon of an item being sold will show a popup giving information about that item and also showing the player who will selling it. To buy something, just click on it and then click on the "Buy" button.

Items that you buy are placed in the "Receipts" tab. To get the item into your inventory again, you go to the "Receipts" tab then click the "Receipts" button and all the listed items will be transferred to your inventory. Note: You must transfer items in your "Receipts" tab within 15 days.

You can refine the list in many ways! This is simply done by using the drop down menus and text box to the left of the "Search" button. The text box can be used to search for items by name. The first menu allows you to refine by item type (Weapon, Armor, Disposables, Other, Accessory, Potion). The second menu allows further refining. For example, refining to Weapons will allow you to also refine by weapon type (duals, daggers, wands, staffs, etc.). The third drop down menu allows refining by class type (Titan, Knight, Healer, Mage, Rogue, Sorcerer).

You can even sort the list is many ways as well! Simply clicking on the header for a column will toggle between sorting the whole list in ascending or descending order according to that header. For example, clicking on the "Amount" header will alternate between sorting the list from lowest to highest price and highest to lowest price.

Note: You will notice right away that when selling an item, the labels will be hard to read because text is overlapping where you would put the amount of the item that you wish sell. That is one of a few known text issues they are working on.
