Why do you have to pay to list, then pay to sell? Sounds dumb to meh.

The fee is 10% of the sale price, with 5% of the list price up front. The latter is done to keep people from repeatedly listing the same item at increasingly lower amounts until they find the high bid.

When your item sells, you get the money you paid to list it back, I believe. So you really only pay once.
In any case, this game really needs inf sinks, so the fees aren't a bad thing.

You don't get it back, it's taken out of the 10% of the sale fee.
For example, if you list something for 1,000, the 5% listing fee is going to be 50 infl. If it sells for 50,000, the 10% sale fee will be 5,000, but you'll only pay 4,950 infl, because 50 was taken out for the listing fee.

The non-refundable listing fee is to keep you from constantly fiddling with the sale price to find a price something will sell at.
The 10% total fee is to remove inf from the system, to help damp the tendency for ever-increasing total wealth as people continue to play level 50s, defeat mobs, complete missions, and sell common recipies (the three most common ways to create brand new inf).
