Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Markup % and TT+?

Markup % is a percentage above TT value (e.g., 105% means the item costs 105% of its TT value). TT+ is a fixed PED amount added to TT value (e.g., +5.00 PED means TT value + 5.00 PED).

How does shop tax work?

Shop tax is a percentage added to the final price of all items in that shop. For example, if an item costs 100 PED and the shop tax is 5%, the final price will be 105 PED.

Can I edit my items after listing them?

Yes! Go to Dashboard → Inventory, then click the edit icon (pencil) next to any item. You can update quantity, pricing, status, and other details.

How do I delete my shop?

Go to Dashboard → My Shops, then click the trash icon next to the shop you want to delete. Note: This will not delete the items in that shop - you'll need to remove those separately.

What happens when I record a sale?

When you record a sale, the system: (1) Reduces the item quantity by the amount sold, (2) Calculates and records the profit, (3) Updates the item status to "Sold" if quantity reaches zero, (4) Adds the transaction to your Shop Stats.

Can buyers purchase directly through the website?

No, this is an index/directory of shops and items. Actual purchases happen in-game at the shop locations. Use the waypoint feature to navigate to the shop in Entropia Universe.
