Upcoming Changes to Mail and Auction House

New Warning



More changes for Dungeons & Dragons Online. Samera posted this in
the official forums:

Mail

You can no longer delete mail that has an item or
currency attached to it. If you try to delete a message with attached
items you will receive a pop-up warning message and will have to detach
your items before you can delete the message. Opened messages will now be retained in your mailbox for 14
days
instead of 3. Admin mail that has an item or currency attached will never be
automatically deleted.

Auction House



In the next update we are doing a complete restructure of the Auction
House fees. Posting fees have both reduced and simplified. Previously
we used a fairly complicated formula to determine the posting fee for
an item. We are now going to be using a percentage of the item's value
which will increase based on the length of the auction. The new fees
are as follows:



8 hour auction = 0.5% of item value with a 5gp minimum

24 hour auction = 1% of item value with a 10gp minimum

48 hour auction = 1.5% of item value with a 15gp minimum

72 hour auction = 2% of item value with a 20gp minimum



Buyout prices, if any, will not affect the posting fee, nor will your
set minimum bid. The posting fee is based solely on the item's
value. The posting fee will also be refunded for all successful
auctions.



We are also adjusting the selling fees. The Auction Houses will now
charge a blanket 30% of the sell price for all successful auctions.
This percentage is the same regardless of the length of the auction.



In addition to the changes to the fee schedule, we are also making some
improvements to the Auction UI to help ensure that both buyers and
sellers have accurate, up-to-date information about the state of their
auctions.
