Black Lion Trading Post: Difficulty selling [Merged]

[Sleepwalker.1398]

I been listing a few things to sell and they list but the green window that comes afterwards to say successfully listed takes so long.I have tried to delete the temp folder and tried again but still doing the same thing.

Same experience last night. Haven't been on today yet.

[Sarpan.9074]

Yep. I'm seeing it, too.

I experience the same problem as well. I am using the TP a lot and this lag since a few days is not normal and it is rather annoying.

[Gudy.3607]

This has been happening, on the EU side at least, since before the last patch - long waiting times before the green confirmation window pops up after a sell listing, sell listings giving the red error popup for no discernible reason then working smoothly when trying again immediately afterwards.

[Jukens.1693]

It often lags when selling an item and often doesnt. Also gives an error when selling with no apparent reason, failing the selling of the item.

The error comes from the previous transaction lagging so long it still hadn't finished. When you actually get the item/money from the previous one, it doesn't give you any errors.

Also have the same problem.

Preblem is also trending on reddit:

I tried to sell some items a few days ago and they disappeared. I pressed Sell and waited a long time, then got an error message about can't get access to the login server. When I looked at my inventory, the items were gone, but they weren't in the Trading Post's Current Transactions and History tabs

I never got money for them

Since the new patch, I've had trouble selling things on the black lion trading post. It takes FOREVER to sell 1 item to get the Green Success Box. My drivers are up to date. This is the only issue I have in the game. Is anyone else having this same issue. It takes FOREVER to sell 1 item.

[Jura.2170]

It happens to me too

[kathy.8291]

I wish Anet would fix this; ever since the last patch it is very slow and frustrating

[romainette.2369]

same to me

[kharmin.7683]

Yes, sometimes I can sell a few things in a row and then hit a hard lag spike.

[Sleepwalker.1398]

Had also posted about this but seems its not really that important for someone to look at. It just seems to be getting worse.https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/60214/tp-selling-an-item-takes-very-long-and-kinda-lags#latest

I'm have the same issue... The response times can be slow, and sometimes stall out... I have to manually close the trade windows at times for the transaction to complete, or register.

Not sure if there is a lot more traffic causing issues, but something is going on.

[Wanze.8410]

Any update on this issue?

Just like everybody else, I sometimes (more often than not) have to wait up to 5s until the green confirmation screen pops up again after i listed something on the tp.

Its definately happening every single time when I am selling something and at the same time, a buy order fills or another listing sells. So if I send a listing or gold towards the trading post and at the same time, the trading post sends something to me, doesnt seem to handle 2 way traffic really well.

I have had this happen so many times since the sigil update that im really cautious selling expensive items on the trading post now.

[kathy.8291]

I feel the same.. something is going on. the response time is extremely slow that I had to close it out. I wish anet would fix it

[Davion Roth.6709]

This is ridiculously annoying and needs to be fixed. I'd say on average only about 1 of every 10 transactions I make on the trading post goes through smoothly. 9 out of 10, horrible lag spike taking forever to get the success window.

[Sylvari.2953]

Selling stuff takes forever these days. I don't have ping issues, gameplay is smooth but the trading post is really slow. :(

[Dying Oblivion.8296]

Problem still exists. I cant believe its taken them longer then a month to get to the bottom of this. the previous update kinda worked it was still laggy but a great improvement over the update that changed all the things with sigils or runes. Now its almost back to the same level. I just waiting for 5 seconds for items to be placed on the market every time i put something up.

[Dying Oblivion.8296]

Almost a full month with no feedback from any of the mods or devs. I guess making skins and other useless items to sell for real money on BLTC must be more important and taking up most of their time.
