Thread: Vendor Fee Formula
It is bugged on NPC's so it is near nothing.
on terminals it is what you see in the dev note on the subject
Droid vendors charge 1% of your total inventory selling price per maintenance tick. (ouch).
NPC vendors charge 1 credit per maintenance tick until you get reduced vendor fees and then it moves to less than 1 credit. It displays 0 maintenance but still eats a little money from the maintenance pool.
Tip:If you want to go the merchant route and can only place a droid vendor then place that droid vendor with 1000 credits of sellable inventory. You will gain merchant xp just because that vendor is selling something. You get the same xp no matter how much you sell. You also get more xp fromthe vendor sitting out there than any other source when you are just starting out.
After you can learn novice merchant, drop the droid, go NPC vendor and annouce your grand opening.
