Didn't receive gold for item sold!!
I sumbitted a ticket about this, i had listed a lemongrass poultry soup recipe on TP and didn’t receive the gold when it was sold.
Is this a somewhat common occurance that is actionable by ANet?
Are you sure it isn’t still listed in your “Items I’m Selling” list?

yes i’ve checked, also checked history and it clearly says “sold” next to it.
If you submitted a ticket, there is nothing to do but wait for a reply. Nothing, really, forum-users can do for you.
Good luck.

This wasn’t what i asked, what i was asking is if this is a common occurrence that ANet is able to take action against.

No, it’s not common. It’s never happened to me. And if it was common, you’d see a LOT more posts like this on the forum.
It’s the first time i have heard about it (and believe me, if it happened more, there would be tons of people screaming about it everywhere), so it’s likely an extremely rare, one of a kind occurence. Or a (still rare) bug introduced in last patch.
Actions, not words.

It is not common, but I’ve had this happen to me 2 or 3 times since launch… and why I would not trust using the TP as a bank to hide gold like some people like to do.

It is in all probability an extraordinarily rare occurrence compared to how frequent people believe it to be, and should be actionable on the off chance that the problem does not exist between the keyboard and the chair.
sold and buy well over 1m items and never happens to me.
I’ve never had this happen to me, and the rare times I’ve seen people say it happened it was a case of misunderstanding (either they didn’t actually sell the item, they already picked up the gold without realizing, or similar things). So yeah, it’s quite rare.
I don’t think it’s happened to me but really I wouldn’t notice as I flood the thing with random knick knacks I pick up. Can you be sure in a million sales that it’s never happened? Or can you only say you haven’t noticed it happen?

I don’t believe it ever happens. On occasion, for various reasons, the TP history on your browser can lag what’s going on, but as far as I’ve been able to tell, items and money never “disappear” from the TP — if you listed something, you’ll either get the item back or the coin. At worst, you might have to wait a bit.
I can’t definitely “prove” that goods/gold are never lost, but in all the time I’ve been reading reports about this (forums, reddit, guild chat), it has always turned out that “missing” items or gold were merely misplaced. Poster forgot (or didn’t realize) that they cancelled the listing, they took the gold at 2 am and forgot, etc.
I’m meticulous about my TP management and yet I’ve certainly borked a listing or 3 myself, in one case grabbing items from the TP using a toon that never talks to the NPC, so when I couldn’t find the item later, it never occurred to me to look there.
tl;dr I’m confident that you’ll either see the item/gold next time you check the TP or be able to see what happened in the TP history or discover you still have the recipe in an unexpected place.
Good luck and please let us know what you find out. (Especially if it turns out that the recipe really did get sold without you getting your coin.)
