Ugh. As I sit and think through the Nexonese-fail-coding I see one thing that supports the worst case scenario:
Auction price is computed at the time of purchase - So all auctions done after the 28th would incur the new fee automatically.
Sales price is computed at the time it's entered into the system, not at purchase - So items entered before the change would have been registered with a lower premium than those submitted after.
It could really go either way :/
Guess we'll have to wait for the 28th, or for them to learn how to effectively communicate. Speculating the subject to death is silly with it right on the doorstep, but really, if they did do it Worst Possible Way they're shooting themselves in the foot by cutting out a huge chunk of microtransactions.
It's not having what you want - It's wanting what you've got.
