Does anyone do this as much as I do? It drives me nuts that you can't type 5 digits right into the shop price anymore!
Yes you can. Just don't use commas when you do it!
It took me ages to work out what the problem was!! I never knew you could put in commas when pricing items. I am sure that once upon a time, you couldn't use them as it would bring up an error message saying it was an improper number.
But as theonlysaneone said - just don't use commas when pricing your shop. I know it is a hard habit to break, as I use commas all the time to divide the thousands, but since playing Neo, I have learnt not to use them.
It is a poor design where commas are not used in user's shops, but are used to display the buy price.
The only time I ever got caught by this was in the Trading Post - I had arranged on the Chat board to lend an Avatar item, so I put in my price but used a comma, when the bid went up, of course it came up as 10 000 not 100 000. The person thought I was trying to scam her.
It took me quite a bit of persuading so she wouldn't report me!! It turned out alright in the end. But since then, I never use commas in my prices.
