Thread: Merchant Fee Proposal (kind of a rewrite of merchant abilities too... just thought of this)
Okay, here's the general thought I just had a few minutes ago:
- Vendorshave a minimum sales tax that theycharge
- The sales tax can be adjusted to be higher than the minimum if so desired by the owner of the vendor
- As the sales tax is increased, the merchant gains new abilities on that specific vendor
- Example: 5% sales tax allows custom ad-barking. 7% sales tax allows merchant to "dress" the vendor. 10% sales tax allows merchant to register the vendor. Etc. etc.
- If the merchant does not have anything for sale on the vendor for * days, the vendor will send the merchant an e-mail stating his/her/its demands (money) and a time limit on the offer. If the demand is not met, the merchant will leave (deleted).
This is all assuming that the sales tax will be applied merchant-side. That is to say, a 10% sales tax on a 1000 credit item well net in a gross to the vendor owner of 900c and the vendor receives 100 credits (money sink back into the system).
Anyone have anything to say about this? I just thought of it, so be gentle 
Sales tax should be like in real life where the buyer pays it.
You shouldn't have to have a higher sales tax to register your vendor in my opinon.

Exactly you've "bought" the ability to do this buy gaining the necessary XP and training in Advertising 3 - Why should we pay for it twice..
Do creature handlers have to pay each time they train a creature ??
Do Droid engineers have to pay each time the create a personality chip
No.. They don't - Why should we have to pay to use our features ??

Yes, but does everyone on the planet have access to the creature? Or to the personality chip? No. Vendors are in a class by themselves.
