But that is the core of the problem. They aren't paying 1 PED for a deal that is better than auction price, they are paying 1 PED for the chance to see if an item they want is for sale (and paying the same price again at each mall until they either give up or find what they want). There is no guarantee that they will find the item they are looking for or, if they do find it, that it is at least 1 PED cheaper than auction.

Also, the idea of a double charging mechanism is entirely impractical from a coding perspective. Why should MA go to the effort of coding a charging system for shop owners at the same time as a parallel system for buyers?
