I have a couple resource vendors in different locations.


I will post an item for 5000 credits - a couple days later I see it sold for 5140.


I go check my vendor - every item has increased in price over what I posted them for.


I withdraw them - re add them and a couple days later same thing.


What is going on here - has anyone else encoutered this problem?

Have you checked the sales tax in the city you are located in?

If someone offers something to you does it get increased as well?

Make sure it’s the sales tax you are looking at. Player Cities have 3 types of tax. Income, property, and sales tax. It may be that your property tax is set to zero.



Also, sales tax is applied at the time you place items on the vendor. If you place items while your city is at zero sales tax, then a 5000cr item will list at 5000cr, even if the sales tax is later increased. Same way, if your city has a sales tax of 5%, when you place a 5000cr item, it will list as 5250cr. Even if the cities tax laterdrops back to zero, the item will stay listed at 5250cr. You would need to remove, and re-list your item to get the new "tax free" price.

You don't actually need to relist your items, the tax rate change will be reflected in your prices the next time the server resets (4am Pacific)

It was a sales tax that was decreased to 0 from 2% - However, after several server resets it still did not change- pulled everything off and reloaded - still same result.


I submitted this as a bug.
