Every time I sell an item in the trading post my mail carrier activates for each item sold. It seems to only happen when I sell stuff instantly. If I list items that sell later the carrier doesn’t activate.
I’ve also witnessed this happening to other players standing in front of a trading post NPC with 1 mail carrier after the other flying away from them.
It seems to be the send mail animation where the carrier flies away from players as if they are sending multiple mail to other players.

It’s supposed to.
How do you think the stuff gets to the TP? Magic?
Magical mail carriers

I was always under the impression a “mail” carrier was for sending and receiving “mail”. I’m not mailing or receiving mail when selling stuff in the trading post.
It’s all an ArenaNemesisNet Plot I tell you!
Just saiyan.

How is it that you aren’t sending or receiving stuff when you, um, send stuff to the TP or receive it? Admittedly, lore reasons don’t require them to use a carrier for that, too. (Although maybe programming reasons made it a better choice than no carrier.)

Don’t use logic with me. It makes my brain cells ’splode.

Thanks for the heads up.
For those of us who have repetitive motion sickness issues that would be a game ender.
Anet should know better than to use it for the TP – it’s a bank transfer over the ethereal network that has nothing to do with carrier mail – if they want to be genre correct, they need to remove that ridiculous action.
I would never buy something that popped up every time I sold something, hundreds to thousands of times a day.

It might help if you didn’t call it “ridiculous” or claim that it was “genre incorrect.” It’s entirely sufficient to say you find it annoying and diminishes the value of the mail carriers as a premium product.
Although I like the effect, because I happen to love my mail carrier, I agree that it would have been better for the game not to apply carriers to TP transactions. However, I doubt at this point it would be a simple matter for them to separate out the mechanics.

What? The bird is tiny and, more often than not, is not even seen because you’ll have the TP window open as it’s flying off. Motion sickness would not be triggered by this except in a case where the person had already been triggered by something else.

Huh? What genre are you talking about? Mail carriers are obviously part of the GW2 universe, so it’s “genre correct” for the game.
Yeah, pretty much, the TP window is large and always covering my character. I never noticed my mail carrier going off until I managed to get a Raven Mail Carrier from a black lion chest. The only reason why I just noticed this now is because that carrier has a sound effect, like flapping wings and some sort of chime, and saw the bird flying away after closing the window.

News flash: there is a default mail carrier that everybody has and you can’t disable it.
If people get motion sickness from tiny mail carriers slowly floating away from players, they shouldn’t bother playing the game to begin with. Dodge rolling is much more intense and more plausible as something that could cause that. This is the first time I ever heard of any claim that anything in the game could cause motion sickness.
This thread wasn’t to complain about the mail carrier activating when selling stuff in the TP. I thought it was a bug. The consensus is that this is working as intended, and if so, I’m perfectly fine with that.
