Maybe this was discussed in the sticky topic, but it has so many replies it would take forever to go through, and I dont want to necro bump old topics.. but does anyone else get this CONSTANTLY in game? I mean, every time I go and sell more than 10+ different items, it is guaranteed to happen.

For example, lets so I’m leveling a character up by crafting. After getting done with a few tiers (for example again, 75 – 100) and I go to sell my crafted items on the TP, after selling 4 or 5 armors I will start to get “Error attemping to sell.” The ONLY way to get past this is to either spamm the Sell button 20 times, change the sell price down by 1 copper (even tho it will still sell it at the highest profit…??), or exit out of TP and go back in.

This is really frustrating for me, it happens all the time, and has been doing this since I started playing a month and a half or so ago. Another example would be if I’m on my level 80, spend the night rampaging through Orr, and before I go to bed I try to sell my spoils… again, after selling some things on TP this error pops up.

Any suggestions, or am I / we stuck with this until ANet finds a fix?

**Note: I thought maybe it was because the item had only 1 order from 1 person and that person’s order was already recieved. However I notice it happens on just about anything, could be an order for 1 piece of armor, or 1000 orders for mithril ore.

Thank you and sorry for the long post!

TL:DR version: TP constantly gives me “Error attempting to sell.” after selling a few items on it.

its a bad thing added to prevent bots.

So basically bots have to wait 10 seconds between buys and sells. It doesn’t make any sense but somebody at anet thought it was a good idea.

I see. Same with the mail system? I tried sending some mithril boxes to friends as Christmas presents but after 3 mails it said something about not able to send more. I guess the mail thing makes more sense, but I wish they’d increase it to at least 5, same as a party!

Thanks for the reply!
