Fees and Limits

Fees and Limits

These two HOCON files control how much players pay to use the market and how aggressively Bazaar rate-limits them.

fees.conf

Global fee defaults applied when a channel in channels.conf does not override them.

listingFeeFlat = 0
listingFeePercent = 2.0
transactionTaxPercent = 5.0
minimumListingPrice = 1
refundListingFeeOnExpiry = false

Field	Default	Meaning
listingFeeFlat	0	Flat currency fee charged when posting a listing or buy order.
listingFeePercent	2.0	Percent of the listing price charged up front.
transactionTaxPercent	5.0	Percent taken from the seller when a sale completes.
minimumListingPrice	1	Rejects listings priced below this floor.
refundListingFeeOnExpiry	false	Refund the listing fee when a listing expires naturally. Manual or admin cancellations are unaffected.

Per-channel overrides live in channels.conf

Each AH channel can override the fee block entirely. Set fees = null on a channel to inherit the global values from fees.conf.

limits.conf

Rate limits and caps. All limits are per player and apply globally across the server.

Field	Default	Meaning
maxConcurrentListings	20	Max active listings at once. Applied per market and per channel.
maxConcurrentBuyOrders	10	Max active buy orders at once.
listingsPerMinute	5	Sliding-window listing creation limit.
bidsPerMinute	20	Max auction bids per minute.
purchasesPerMinute	10	Max immediate purchases per minute.
buyOrdersPerMinute	5	Max buy-order creations per minute.
maxPrice	4611686018427387903	Hard safety cap accepted by Bazaar’s price validator.

playerListingLimitMeta

limits.conf also ships an optional playerListingLimitMeta block for resolving per-player listing caps from LuckPerms meta:

playerListingLimitMeta {
  enabled = false
  globalMetaKey = "bazaar-max-listings"
  marketMetaKeyFormat = "bazaar-max-listings.{market}"
  channelMetaKeyFormat = "bazaar-max-listings.{market}.{channel}"
}

Resolution order when enabled:

1. channelMetaKeyFormat
2. marketMetaKeyFormat
3. globalMetaKey
4. maxConcurrentListings

With the bundled defaults, Bazaar checks keys like:

• bazaar-max-listings.gts.main
• bazaar-max-listings.auction_house.main
• bazaar-max-listings

Scoped by market and channel

Both the cap check and the active listing count are scoped to the same market + channel bucket. A player can therefore have separate caps for GTS and for individual AH channels.

Limits are always global

There are no channel-level overrides for limits.conf. The values apply uniformly across all channels and listing types.
