Is it more expensive to list an item for sale?

[raykor.6723]

If I sell an item on the TP to the highest offer, I pay a 10% Exchange Fee. But if I list an item for sale then I pay a 5% Listing Fee in addition to the 10% Exchange Fee (assuming it sells).

This is how I think it works, please correct me if I got it wrong.

You always pay 15%, the only difference is when.

When you list it, you pay out of your pocket 5% for listing at the moment you list it, and your return is reduced by 10% when it's actually sold. When you retract your offer the 5% are lost.

When you sell immediately you also pay 5% from your pocket and your return is 10% reduced, just both together.

I have noticed that when I sell immediately, the amount I get is reduced by 10% but I never noticed that they took 5% from my wallet!

That's incorrect. You do not pay the 5% Listing Fee if you sell immediately. You only pay the 10% Exchange Fee.

The Listing Fee of 5% is only deducted from your total if you set a Sell Price.

That is incorrect, even the wiki makes a correct mention that the listing fee is for both listing and instant selling.

The TP takes 15%, always.

Edit: also even when instant selling, both listing fee and exchange fee are listed as deductions on the right.

I stand corrected. TP scam 5% off your account immediately and put the rest of your earnings minus 10% in the delivery box.

After all these years, I always thought TP was a shark but didn't realized it was shark of leviathan proportion.

No worries, it can be confusing. I think Anet implemented it this way as to limit the benefit/disadvantage to listing versus instant buying and reduce speculation.
