Guild Wars 2

Having an issue with the trading post where I can’t purchase anything. I can search for items usually… the odd time it doesn’t seem to want to find anything on it. Sometimes it won’t show my items for sale, other times it will… NEVER has it let me make a purchase.

New to the game, enjoying it thus far but this glitch with the trading post strikes me as a fairly big flaw in the game. I’ve been told this has been an ongoing issue since release… Any ideas as to when this might be corrected?

It’s not an ongoing issue — it affects only certain people and your best bet for resolving it is to contact support: https://en.support.guildwars2.com/app/ask.

The trading post runs as a web application and can be affected by many of the same issues that affect them. There are some common solutions posted in the tech section of the forums, including ensuring that your anti-malware software isn’t interfering with it and that your GW2 folder has admin rights (there are stickies about both those issues).

There are some less common issues, too. Near as I can tell, anyone asking support for help is able to resolve these, ending up with the same 99.99% up time for the TP that most of us enjoy.

Good luck.
