Black Desert Online – Marketplace Tax
The first thing to understand is that when you sell items on the marketplace there is a 35% tax placed on the item. You can reduce this by having a value pack active, which adds 30% to the price you would receive after the 35% tax (i.e. without the value pack). This means that you get 65% of the value of items when you sell them without a value pack and 84,5% of the value of items if you sell them with a value pack active.
It’s important to note that you need to collect the silver with an active value pack to get the bonus. If an item is sold while you have an active value pack and it goes inactive before you can collect the silver you will not get the bonus. Similarly, you can sell items without an active value pack, activate it, and then collect the silver for the bonus.
In addition to this, your family fame has a small effect on the tax, similar to the value pack bonus. Starting at 1000 fame points you will get +0,5% to the price you would receive after-tax, reaching 1,5% at 7000 fame points. You can see the total percentage that adds to your value after-tax next to the symbol of the palm with a few coins.
