⚖️Trading Tax
💰 Trading Tax System
To help maintain a stable and healthy economy in Classic Reimagined, selected player-to-player transactions are subject to trading fees.
The system is designed to regulate Zeny circulation, support long-term economic stability, and encourage a fair player-driven marketplace.
ℹ️Street vending shops have been replaced by the Marketplace. Press the Marketplace button on the menu bar to open it, from anywhere.

🏪 Marketplace
Open the Marketplace with the Marketplace button on the menu bar. Every player can list up to 12 items at the same time, and listings stay up even while you are offline.
Sales Tax (10%)
- When your item sells, 10% of the price is taken as tax and you receive the other 90% by RoDEX mail.
- Example: an item sold for 1,000,000 Zeny pays 100,000 Zeny tax, and you receive 900,000 Zeny.
- The buyer pays exactly the listed price; no tax is added on top for the buyer.
- The tax applies to both currencies: Zeny and GCash. It is rounded up, and a sale for only 1 Zeny or 1 GCash is tax free.
- Tax is removed from the game, which helps fight Zeny inflation.
Listing Fee
Posting items costs a small fee for each day they stay listed, paid when you list:
- 2% of the total value of the items you list (price × amount), per day.
- At least 5,000 Zeny and at most 36,000 Zeny per day, so cheap shops pay little and expensive shops never pay more than the cap.
- Example: listing items worth 500,000 Zeny costs 10,000 Zeny per day; items worth 100,000 Zeny cost the 5,000 minimum; items worth 5,000,000 Zeny cost the 36,000 maximum.
| Listing Time | Lowest Fee | Highest Fee |
|---|---|---|
| 24 hours | 5,000 Zeny | 36,000 Zeny |
| 48 hours | 10,000 Zeny | 72,000 Zeny |
| 7 days | 35,000 Zeny | 252,000 Zeny |
| 14 days | 70,000 Zeny | 504,000 Zeny |
| 28 days | 140,000 Zeny | 1,008,000 Zeny |
- The listing fee is always paid in Zeny. Items priced in GCash are valued in Zeny using the Zeny Market rate: the average price players paid for Zeny on the website in the last 30 days. Until the Zeny Market has sales, 1 GCash counts as 2,000 Zeny. Example: at 500 GCash per 1,000,000 Zeny, an item listed for 100 GCash is worth 200,000 Zeny, so it pays the 5,000 Zeny daily minimum.
- The listing fee is separate from the 10% sales tax.
- Adding more time to a listing costs the same as a new listing of that item for that time.
- Changing the price of a listing is free.
- If nothing could be listed, the fee is returned. Taking a listing back early returns your item, but not the fee.
- Items that don't sell before they expire come back to you by RoDEX mail.
Buy Requests
- Post a request for an item you want (up to 5 at a time). The full price is held when you post, and posting a request has no fee.
- Cancelled or expired requests give the held money back.
- Players who sell their items to your request pay the same 10% tax from what they receive.
🤝 Player-to-Player Trades
The official trade system applies different fees depending on what is being transferred:
- Item Trades: 10,000 Zeny per unique item
- Zeny Trades: 10% of the total Zeny transferred, paid by the player who sends the Zeny on top of the amount. You need enough Zeny to cover both; otherwise the trade is not completed.
These fees only apply when using the corresponding trading systems.
✉️ RoDEX Mail
Sending Zeny or items to another player by RoDEX mail is also taxed:
- Zeny: 10% of the Zeny you send, paid by you on top of the amount. Example: sending 1,000,000 Zeny costs 1,100,000 Zeny, and the receiver gets the full 1,000,000.
- Items: 2,500 Zeny for each item you attach.
- You need enough Zeny to cover the amount and the fees, otherwise the mail is not sent.
- Payments and returned items from the Marketplace also arrive by RoDEX mail; claiming them is free.
