Can someone explain to me how this works?

I thought that you were charged a flat fee for a vendor no matter how many items you put on it. However the more I put on a vendor the more the status seems to indicate I will be paying per hour.

As an Architect with novice Merchant I didnt understand it to be this way. I thought that I would be able to pay 1200 or whatever and be able to sell my houses/factories/harvesters etc but its way too expensive to sell much of anything to the point that I was getting charged in the hundreds per hour. I cant believe that is the system in place. Did the change go in already?

Am I understanding this correctly or am I missing something?

What you are experiencing is the current vendor fee code. The flat rate / item tax has not gone into effect yet, and is still being toyed with in development.

ok but can someone explain how it works?

I thought it was a flat fee per day and did not fluctuate with items on it...but that doesnt appear to be the case at all.

I dont understand how merchants can stay in business selling 80 items. I put up 10 items and it was using 200 cr per hour. Either its by price or item but either way that is alot of credits considering you arent going to sell a ton of stuff especially when you start out...

Terminal and droid vendors charge more as you put more on them. NPC vendors charge a very low fixed fee. So use NPCs, unless you're planning to sell resources. Deeds will be fine on an NPC.

They fixed NPCs and they work just like the others now.

Not sure what you mean by they fixed NPC's and they work like the other ones now. Mine still charge the sme 1cr fee per vendor. There has been no change for NPC's from what I can tell. Droid boxes still charge the same high amount as they used to, which is based off the number of items on the vendor. I don't use them.
