The Marketplace is a place where players can buy and sell items between themselves using gold.
To access the Marketplace, click on the 
Gold Bag icon above the inventory or click Marketplace under the Options menu in the top-left.
Alternatively, the Marketplace can be opened by clicking on a Tradeable item in the inventory then selecting "Open Marketplace Listings" or "Sell on Marketplace" if the intention is to sell the item.
The Marketplace is only accessible to players who have verified their email but is not accessible by ironman characters, they see the General Shop instead when clicking the money bag.
The Marketplace has a 5% tax deducted from the selling price (rounded up except for 1 gold), and a minimum price of 1 gold. Prices on items change often depending on rarity, desirability and usefulness. There are some items that cannot be bought or sold, such as: items categorized as Junk, most gloves, the corrupted ring and the shrimp armor set, as well as some event items.
An item is only listed for 30 days unless it is sold, otherwise it is returned back to the player's inventory.
Ironmen and trade-banned players cannot use the Marketplace.
Tips on Selling
If your listing does not move:
- Do not spam the trade chat.
- Check the price compared to other listings.
- Consider lowering the price to entice a quick buy.
- Be patient. It may just be a slow period or less sought after item.
- Consider selling the item to the NPC vendor if the current market price is similar to the vendor value.
Trade rules
Automation of marketplace interaction by scripts and extensions is a grey area at best and some possible script functions are explicitly disallowed in game rules.
Use the Trade chat to advertise your wares and click the scale icon in your listing to directly link the item. Check the Public Channels in the bottom left of the chat window if you have accidentally closed the channel.
