Just wanted to make a public service announcement that the TP is currently broken and that trying to retrieve retracted buy orders will result in a complete loss of your money. Furthermore, items sold in the last 12 hours (based on my experience; could be even further back then that) did not actually provide any money.

Just lost ~5 gold today so wanted others to not make the same mistake with the TP until ANet fixes it or issues a statement.

But I'm sure ArenaNet will restore the lost money... :x

I just played all morning and all  of a sudden getting error 42 when trying to play. I wonder if it's related to whatever they are trying to do.

On a related note, I'm pissed. 2 weeks in a row that I get error 42s making me unable to play during my free time.

error 42ing as well, can't even get past char selection screen.

[TGIFrisbie]

Buying/selling on TP, using Gems on BLTC, etc., all broken.  Avoid til they post it is fixed.

[Chabby]

I've been using TP this morning and I did get my money.... O.o

[Daesu]

I was just about to sell some exotic in the TP then I hit the "can't access game server" error message.  I probably also lost gold in last night's sales.

[Crimsonknith]

I also lost money on the trading post. Bought pile of shimmering dust but did not get the items. When I logged out  and back in I got the error 42. Oddly enough I could log in with all my other toons but my warrior which was using the TP is the only one to receive error 42.  I put in a support ticket then found this thread.

LOL, I hope you're joking.

It's like release day again, can't even use waypoints without error 42. What the hell did they do?

Do you?  Taking Gems and not getting product is outright theft.  I would like to see them try to say they can't compensate, but from past issues like this I am fairly sure the data isn't lost, only the transaction being held up.

[matsif]

now I'm completely locked out of the log in server, can't even get to char select.

[TakumiUsui]

I just bought a Total Makeover Kit and I got it without problems.

What about Buy orders and stuff? Are they effected too? Should we cancel our Buy Orders?

No.  Given previous comments from devs, transactions are queued up and processed in order.  If they are not being processed, they are not lost.  Rather, they will be processed and the items will be distributed when the system is fixed.

I got my gem purchased item now, about 30 mins after I bought, so my personal concern is alleviated.

[Crimsonknith]

Well, I managed to log in with my warrior and my purchase was available to pick up. Hope all of you are having the same luck.

And the sad thing is, they will probably say that they can't give anything back.
Look at all the people who bought halloween costumes and got nothing.

You mean, look at all the people that directly started whining and then later got their costumes?

[Dasryn]

this was an issue on the 3rd of september as well.  the error 42 anyway.  "RB2" put out a message on facebook informing us that error 42's were happening.

so is the error 42 issue a launch issue unresolved?

[LavaSquid]

D: I still have 75 silvers unclaimed on the TP, nuuuuuuu.

[Viesis]

Does this include the Gem Store as well?

[TakumiUsui]

Does anyone still have this problem?
I've sold stuff worth around 1,5g on the TP but never received the money... It says they where sold 2 Days ago. I didn't pick anything up yet...

I can only speak for myself, but I bought and sold around 50 items yesterday and picked up 7 gold. Every sale/purchase went through successfully for me, without delay.
