I don’t think it’s that simple – at the moment the button does stay greyed out after being clicked when hit by this delay…
Sorry, I did not know it actually does it. For me it didn’t, which was the reason to click it more than once ^^ But when you are true this basic solution is already implemented. (Btw. you explained very well why this solution is only basic and not as good as possible )
Those items sold through the night but I have only 9 silver 53 copper in the pick up tab. Where is the rest?
I believe there is a listing fee, and a fee on sale but I may be wrong.
The listing fee is consumed from your money instantly (when you put the item for sale), so this fee should not occur again when it is sold successfully (at least nothing in the TP lets me know, that there is a second fee). So I assume this is either a bug (double fee, whatever) or another UI-issue (like not displaying there are multiple fees, being charged at different times)
There is also a delay sometimes on things being listed in the “My Transactions” section of the Trading Post.
Everything you said is spot on. Delays should not happen, but when they do the trading post should say that a transaction has been successfully queued but is not yet complete.
I think the most basic but working solution is to grey the buy-button out uppon clicking (maybe display an alt. text like “processing”) and turn it back on success/failure. This avoids the “click-twice” problem, because the user might be unsure if he clicked correctly
The important part here is the little detail that grey-out is done without any networking involved, it just happens regardless of connectivity and response-time to the TP, while turning-back requires an appropriate answer from the TP.
Hello, I just want to post here so that GM can view my problem. For the last 3-4 days, I lost my 3+ golds in the Trading post. Yesterday, some of it (around 1 gold) got to my pick up, however, the rest ( more than 2gs) is still missing. I’ve waited for a while without any good results. Please trace my records and find out the problems if you may. Thank you.
PS. Today I started trading again with putting on custom orders and I still hope that my missing money will be there whenever I turn on the trading post window.
I “lost” some money by buying to much platinum, after the TP was back online it seemed that i still had neither my money nor there were orders of platinum left (i could not remove those custom buy orders because they were invisible). However throughout the day I received platinum. I believe your money is not lost, but your orders are (invisible for you) still in the system.
