Issues with the trading post: please post here [MERGED]
I can’t purchase items from the gem store. I have the gems but clicking confirm does nothing. I am trying to purchase transmutation stones.
I’m having the issue many people seem to be having with every page of the BLTC window just showing as a blank grey with nothing in it. It worked for one afternoon during the Halloween content but hasn’t worked again since. I’ve tried deleting the dat file and the windows update several times but to no avail.
Obviously a lot of people have fixed their problem because this thread has slowed down a lot but it’s not working for everyone yet. Please halp! =)
hello, I just bought the 3 spooky Halloween pets for 500 gems and they are not in my mail or bank or in my inventory can anyone help me ? Please tell me where to get it ?
I got it last night as well…. said “Error: Invalid Authorization” or something close to that. I was able to retrieve my gold and something I had bought the day before but not buy or sell anything.
I’m getting this also. It’s odd, as the TP was initially working for me. I ran to the crafting station, attempted to list some stuff I’d crafted, and then I was getting ‘Error: Invalid Authorization’ on every tab except the pick up tab.
edit Logging out completely and logging back in did fix this for me.
I have purchased crafting booster and key, but they did not show up at my inventory too…
Clear out your mail people, there’s 10 mail maximum.
Something must be done to adress the issue that is simply eating the items you wish to sell. This appears to happen from time to time when I wish to sell something.
I select what I wan’t to sell and then when I press the sell button the TP starts to load. Nothing happens for a few seconds then I get a message saying “Error while attempting to sell”. The problem is the items are gone from my inventory and no items were put on sale.
Also checked to see if the items were refunded in the pick up tab but they were not. This issue is causeing me to loose money when attempting to trade.
Either the gem store is broken, it’s extremely slow or it’s just not intuitive enough for me.
Whichever tab (out of the eight) along the top I click on, nothing happens except the name of that tab appearing in the window below. Nothing else changes. What on earth am I supposed to do with this thing? Is there some secret to using it that I haven’t discovered yet?
lunawisp was my peacebringer on City of Heroes – she lives on in memory as my gaming id.
I bought gems so that I can get more character slots, the tabs on the trading company are greyed out and it does nothing when I click on them. Any idea’s?
Like many others the gem store is broken for me.
It shows the front page, but clicking on any tab such as Promotions, simply changes the title to Promotions and does nothing else.
Search is not working either.
I can purchase Recent Purchases from the right hand column.
The pages are not changing in response to clicking the tabs.
Hi there,
I just solved my trading post problem where an empty screen appears, no buying no selling, no gems, nothing.
A few week ago I set a proxy server in the internet explorer browser settings to work at a customer. It seems that GW2 uses those settings to communicate while using the trade post.
I’ve remove the proxy settings in IE and trade post works again!!!
Cheers and good luck

I sold 167 orichalcum Greatsword baldes, and should have received a littel over 28g.
All the items are gone from my inventory and I only received 85 Silver.
Dont know why my previous post was deleted.
I thought this would be important
Looks like I got my commission back maybe…
But all the Items are gone
Hi,
I just attempted to trade approx 1g57s for 200 gems – i adjusted the copper value so it gave exactly 200 gems. On clicking Trade, ‘Failure’ written in red and ‘199’ popped up but the trade appeared to complete as my gold went down and I appeared to have 200 gems. I went to purchace 5 Fine transmutation stones with the 200 gems – clicked to comfirm, the 200 gems went to 0, but I have no sign of the Transmutation stones, and I’ve lost the gold. Is this just a slow delivery of the stones or was this a bug in the exchange? The stones are not in my recent purchases list. Can I get my gold back..?
i bought 10 mystic forge stone with 450 gems, it has been 2 hours so far and it hasn’t arrived in my mail box. My mail box only have one old mail. what can i do?
Hi,
i got same problem like other people i cant buy anything the icon stay blank grey and also i cant sell anything what should i do ?
I am having the same problem too. When I try to buy anything, the option is greyed out and can’t click on it. When I try to sell, the window pops up, starts to load, but then nothing appears. What is happening with the Black Lion Trading Co, and what should I do?
Still having the same problem… I can not sell on the TP.
Which is kinda stupid. All my bags are full (on all 5 characters), bank is full too. I’m just waiting for this stupid “patch”, so I can sell the stuff on the TP and not loose a ton of cash.
It’s been over 2 weeks since I post here, still nothing. Hello, is someone from Anet even reading this?
Same problems here… can’t sell to TP, can’t buy from TP, not all items show up in TP search, equipment in TP does not show comparison tooltip properly. Seems like the system needs a reboot.
Is Gem purchasing still unavailable? I know there was maintenance due today but by my watch it should have been back up by now, anyone else having this problem or is it just me?
I have been able to place purchases and receive items in my pick-up when I buy mini pets, bags, and accessories, but recently when I tried placing a purchase for some exotic armor, my pick-up remains empty even though it shows that I paid. I lost a LOT of gold, unfortunately.
I read the above posts, but I am not sure, even though explained, how to repair the game. Is it a modifier or patch type of thing? And can you delete the repair short cut afterwards if you desire (and won’t affect the game if you do so)?
Thanks.
just another repeat sell still doesnt work just an fyi

But I guess it’s no wonder he went broke later on.
This made me LOL SO HARD
On the flipside, someone is 3,800 G richer.
What in the hell…why do i never see something like this

Lemons are account bound, someones just showing off.
Gratz on your 3800 gold now.
Edit: nvm someone just said they are account bound.
lemons are untradeable, so noone will get the 3800g. On the wierd side, someone wasted 190g for listing fees. Next time give the money to me.
I’ll laugh so hard if they make a way to acquire non-account bound lemons.

Only applies to sell listings. If you you post a buy listing you get all your money back when you cancel it.
People using belittling wording like whining/qqing" are not taken seriously by me
Same for people posting only to tell others not to post (“deal with it”-posts)
That’s a buy order isn’t it ? so no 190g wasted ?

You dont pay anything to make orders and there is no one selling lemons on TP
Well I know what I’m doing with a lemon when ANet makes them TP-able.
I just found out in my question that lemons are acct-bound.. which to me is confusing. It’s a LEMON for heavens sakes LOL
I need a lemon, just in case :P
Seriously? How can someone have all that gold? lol
Buy gems -> convert into gold? That’s what the majority of people do.
Not the majority. I bought gems before and did not get to much gold back. The majority are buying from goldsellers do to the fact of getting more gold back then what the same price of gems vs gold go.
Last I checked was before the hallowen event If I bought 35$ worth of gems then trade the gems for gold I would get 15 gold back. If I spend 35$ for gold from a seller. I don’t know because I never buy gold from sellers, I more or less would get more gold back for the same price of what I would use to buy gems.
So why would I spend the same amount of money and get less gold back from trading gems vs a goldseller? You wonder why there are SO MANY BOTS in game? If it was the Majority of players buying gems and trading for gold there would be less and less bots. Alls I see are more and more bots.
3800g is not much for a trader. In my guild are 3 traders with over 2500g each. They make about 100g profit a day by manipulating the market.
Some arenanet employee should make a non-account-bound lemon and sell it to this guy
Hey I got my lemon for $60……
Hey I got my lemon for $60……
ouch you actually bought MOP, sorry dude
It’s probably chinese farmers trading gold through the Trading Post. They do a similar thing in WoW. It helps to stop them from being detected as easily
Looks like a trust fund baby showing off how much gold he bought on daddy’s credit card.
You know what they say… When life gives you lemons, make lemonade
