The new vendor search appears to be defective. I bought a small item, it showed 0 enterance fee on the vendor page of the bazaar. When I got there, there was a 100 cr entrance fee that I was charged before I could pick the item up.


Interestingly there was also a message displayed reading something like "enterance fee for testing purposes, sorry about that". Is the ability to put a message in that is displayed with your fee new. It didn't strike me at the time that it was unusual, but in retrospect I don't know how it was done.


I believe that the bazaar record only shows the enterance fee at the time the item was posted, and it can be raised later without updating the bazaar.


BTW has anyone seen a skill level requirement on bazaar posting? I really think it should be a Master perk.

Maybe they changed the fee between the time you bought it and the time you got there.

This is one of the many flaws in the system.

Currently as far as we can tell there is no skill level check. Someone did it with Business IV (which means its available with your vendor at Bus. III most likely)

bus 3, all vendors get it automatically, nothing by skill just pure vendor placement.
