Driver money

I put my driver to auction and showed 4.5M. But I got 2.5M. Why?

You're bound to get "that's the way the game is design" answer. It appears to be an unstoppable epidemic that doesn't have an ending on sight. 

 

Why I am having less money when it says 4.5M I will get and I am getting 2.5M. Why? 

Gert as I said before I always put my driver or any other staff on auction. Not quick sell now. I saw when I put my driver on auction says 4.5M. And now I got only 2.5M. You can see that through my account 

Hi Ahsan, it seems like your driver was bought using the 'Buy Now' option at auction, which typically amounts to half of the auction's starting price.

edit: Double checked this to confirm. Your driver was bought using the 'Buy Now' option.
As a note, drivers or staff using the 'Buy Now' option have their sale recorded in Finance History under 'Signing Fees', whereas if they were bought via the Bidding option, their sale is recorded under 'Driver wages' or 'Staff wages'.

Thanks yunus I will check and let you know. 

Thanks yunus. You are right. It was signing fee. It means someone used buy now option. Anyways thnx 

Wait, what?!
Me as a seller has no control if someone uses buy now. And if someone does, I get less? Seems strange. Even if the buyer payed less, it cost him more tokens. I think seller should get more.

Cole there are options means auction or buy now. It depend if a driver or TD,CD,DR is good and no one bid normal auction then I can get that with 9 tokens. I knw I will loose 9 coins in one go but I will pay less money on that. So it’s same if u buy u will do same process and buyer will get less money. It’s a system. Sometimes u get more via auction. Sometimes u get less via buy now options. So it’s fair for everyone 

@Ahsan
The point Cole is making is that as a seller you "appear" to have a choice, you can either sell a driver or staff member directly knowing that you will get the income immediately or you can auction the same member of staff, get more money but of course there's always a chance that he/she won't sell.
What very few people appreciated is that if you choose to auction your driver/staff member expecting the higher price, the "buy now" option is in the hands of the purchaser, not the seller. The purchaser chooses to use 9 tokens to guarantee hiring the staff but the seller doesn't receive the tokens, only the reduced income from "buy now".
If I sell this driver by auction I expect to receive £15 million, not £8.3 million just because the buyer chose to use "buy now".

I understand Kevin. But this rule applies on everyone so it’s fair for everyone. If Cole want someone urgent then Cole also can use buy now option. But bitter truth is seller not getting that amount which he/she looking for. That’s how they made this system. 

I hate to tell you Ahsan; I-told-you-so.



off topic:
Who comes up with this logic? And under what circumstances do they see these practices being business ethical?  





I'm given the false impression to have 2 options as a seller when really I only have one defined option, "sell now" to receive the stated amount. Anything else is all speculation and pending what the "1st" bidder decides to do. 


Something really smells fishy here.... oh yea.... the underground deception aim only to iGP's benefit and not to any of the managers involved(seller or buyer). 
Yes, it's the same for everyone.....that doesn't make it right and most certainly not fair by a long shot. 

The auctioneer(iGP) deserves(without a doubt) a % of the total $ paid buy the buyer. Equally, the seller is the rightful owner of the remaining proceeds without prejudice.  There's nothing Igp or anyone here can say that would make this last statement false. 

Set said auctioneer fees and let's move on with a sensible system that we can all make sense of it.
