Guild Wars 2

When selling items in the trading post, I often run into " error attempting to sell " Am I doing something wrong when selling items on the trading post to cause this ? Is there a way around this error ?

Thanks.

In recent occurrences it has been due to the TP server being overwhelmed.

You are not doing anything wrong. Though it is hard to get my finger round this fully, it looks like it has to do with your auction house account is doing something else. Mostly this happens when you have many popular things on sale (I have a garage sale on my collectibles from time to time, putting everything i dont use on the tp for sale), and I see it intensifying when i put more stuff on, and getting it when new money is there to pick up.

Ahhhh okay. Appreciate the replies.

I consider GW2 in fault here.
in a failed attempt to fight botting, they implemented a ~10 items/minute limit on TP sales, and if you go over that, it says “error” instead of “you reached your selling limit”.
So many things about this I would change… I posted suggestions that have gone ignored.
As it currently is, the only thing you can do about it is sit there staring at the screen for 10-20 seconds then try again. oh, and after you try again, you’ll likely have to sit there staring at the screen for another 10 seconds.
please +1 my suggestion to have this changed to 500 items/day: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Do-away-with-Error-attempting-to-sell/first#post2049248
