I think i have figured out the new auction house formulas, and while they may be easier on folks selling low-value items, they are harder on folks setting up auctions longer than 4 hours. I'm not sure what the best way to wikify this would be, and please correct me if i'm wrong, but it seems to work like this:
The per-unit LISTING FEE is determined as the HIGHEST of the following three values:
0.5% of the Buyout Price
(OR)
A percentage of the Minimum Initial Bid (determined by Auction Time):
Auction Time
4h: 10% of Minimum Initial Bid
12h: 12% of Minimum Initial Bid
24h: 15% of Minimum Initial Bid
48h: 20% of Minimum Initial Bid
(OR)
A percentage (determined by Auction Time) of a Minimum Per-Unit Value (determined by Star Quality):
Auction Time
4h: 10% of Minimum Per-Unit Value
12h: 12% of Minimum Per-Unit Value
24h: 15% of Minimum Per-Unit Value
48h: 20% of Minimum Per-Unit Value
Minimum Per-Unit Value by Star Quality
0*: 100
1*: 250
2*: 500
3*: 1000
4*: 2000
5*: 5000
This creates a matrix that looks like:
AT | 4h | 12h | 24h | 48h
0* |010 | 012 | 015 | 020
1* |025 | 031 | 038 | 050
2* |050 | 060 | 075 | 100
3* |100 | 121 | 150 | 200
4* |200 | 241 | 300 | 400
5* |500 | 600 | 750 | 1000
The LISTING FEE is returned for successful auctions and an AUCTION FEE of 10% of the final sale price is assessed.
