I can't agree with the once a week, this is honestly a market that should be free to the users, to auction off their items however they wish. If one so decides to auction his Magikarp at $7 below it's obvious worth, including the market fee, he should have the right. If we're making a MMO a MMO, the first function to that is player freedom. I feel as though it's well deserved, and once again said now stated twice, "This would also open more roles for players including a career in vending". Basically, freedom to sell as desired, WITH, the market fee implemented.
A basic license, to be able to sell on the auction? Sounds like a farmers license... may work, mmmm, may not.
I personally like the idea of having to apply and pay a certain subscription per, hmm month? To be able to sell on the AUCTION market. However way works, as long as it's profitable to the vendor to sell in the end, that is the point right?
Thee Auction House, will however, after a bit of thought given, raise the BUY NOW prices of pokemon and items, so that the auction house will have freedom to operate. BUT, i am OK with that, as money will flow money through the markets, pokemon and items will deserve their new correct, honest prices.
BULK AUCTIONING, i honestly think would be, an absolute excellent idea.
ALSO, the auction house, will have to force the rule, that the item, or pokemon, posted by the vendor, can NOT, be cancelled.
This rule will dodge sharking vendors. Vendors that seek to get top dollar for every item they auction. If it is not the price they're looking for, they'll cancel.
