I was just wondering why the fees are so large? especially when frags.org, Canreef, Ect. offers a similar service with not as many features but for 100% free. I mean don't get me wrong I wanted to post some stuff on your auction site, but if you make $16.75 off my single 100$ sale, that's like making pay pal fees seem cheap. And i would rather pocket the 10$ after Pay pal and post my own auction. For me Pay pal offers excellent functionality and security for only 3-5% per transaction.

Has anyone from the public used the auction service yet? The only listed vendors seem to be retailers. And I was also wondering what justifies such a high charge rate? Is it to cover the cost of the small things people might sell, like 5$ frags? Or is there more cost to hosting this service then I imagine?

The rates are examples that are not implemented at this time and we have no future plans to charge for the use of our Oceanic Live system, I forgot those rates were still on there. People have been successful in selling items on the auction, you are welcome to list all you like!

Cheers!
