Q:
Trading Post - losing money - or delays
Not sure if this is your issue since you lost over a gold, but remember that the tp takes a cut when you post (listing fee), then when you pickup, you get the total minus tp taxes.

Also, make sure you are actually entering that amount and not actually selling it instantly for the buying offers which are usually insanely lw compared to current listing. (Hopefully that makes sense) I did this once myself by accident, somehow, the wrong option was ticked.
That’s definitely not the issue, since I understand the 5% + 10% fee when selling items via the tp.
My issue is that I can see that the items were sold for 3 gold in the sold tab in the tp but not seeing the gold in the collect tab.
Thanks for your input anyways
