Not receiving gold for sold auctions

This morning I found that my baked-potato was sold and AH was going to send me money in 55 mins.
However, for the whole day, no income was send to me. Items were sold, money was gone.
This was the first time I noticed this. Probably this had already happened. Really dont know how much I lost.

It’s been happening today, I don’t know if it’s specific people or what but I’ve lost about 9k to this bug. Not selling on AH til I know it’s fixed.

The downtime only seems to have made things worse in AH land. I listed a number of flasks before the recent server.

  • Two sold before reset and the money disappeared off both the AH and never appeared in my mail after an hour had passed after reset.
  • Twenty two sold after reset and never arrived at all in the mail despite having the pending payment status.
  • Now another two have sold and I don’t have high hopes for that appearing in the mailbox when none of the others have either.

So much for fixing the AH. Now gold isn’t even showing up after sales. Has anyone else had the problem of phantom sales?

Yep, I lost a dozen bags. I submitted a ticket but the response was they could see three of the sales, which I received none of the gold. No word on the other nine and I’m not sure how I’d prove they existed…it’s not like I screenshot every listing.

I just lost another five flasks where the gold never arrived.

When this happened before to me they checked the logs in whether or not I looted the gold from the mailbox. In this case I don’t see how they can have logs on something that literally never appeared in the mailbox in the first place.

I’m going to delist everything for the next week or two until they fix this and go farm old raids for raw gold. Can’t trust the AH as far as I can throw it.

Edit: Just sold 17k worth of stuff and I’m afraid that it’s not gonna turn up either.

I think I’ve lost a few auctions as well. I remember seeing some augment runes and a Kraken’s eye sold, but don’t remember seeing any gold from those auctions.

I’ve lost TENS OF THOUSANDS of gold that I got for selling my Anchor Weed. The AH said it was sold but the gold never arrived. Someone at Blizzard is sitting there cackling with my damn gold in their pocket.

I am having the same issue with gold not showing up after sells. Around 5k and probably counting.

Not only did people quit, they laid off 800 employees as well. It is nothing but a money grab now.

I’ve delisted everything I have on every character. How something like this got through QA is insane. How the hell is the raid meant to release next week when the AH isn’t even delivering gold properly?

I’m hoping they’re just going to say oh boi our bad sorry about the lost gold and use this as a gold sink

Maybe the gold is being sent back to the buyer.

I lost a thousand gold or so to this same problem. Not a real big issue on the loss, but I can’t trust the system. Everything is delisted until some serious error corrections are done. Even then it’s going to be a real fear putting up large auctions.

I didn’t really think the AH needed messing with beforehand, but it is what it is I guess.

Not looking forward to the chaos that will ensue with the level squish after this AH debacle.

They’ve tried to automate too many systems and in turn have broken all of them. Making money was the just about the only thing I really enjoyed this expansion and even that’s gone now because they broke it while trying to increase the query speed.

I just watched an auction end for a bunch of ore. No mail flag came on. Checked the mailbox anyways. Nothing. I’m out at least 20k today because of this as well. I’m cancelling the rest of my auctions. Worst thing that could happen is everything sells :frowning:

I had stuff selling even as I was furiously cancelling auctions. Feels bad and so much time wasted gathering it all in the first place.

I think this has happened to enough people at this point for Blizzard to at least recognise that it’s a problem that needs fixing. They had downtime and made this problem so much worse.

It seems like this problem is not happening to everybody so Blizzard may just repair it behind the scenes and not bother to return people’s gold.

I’ve already sent a ticket in for all my missing gold. For me, this started happening with the emergency maintenance they just completed. I can’t even think of what they would have broken to manage it.

This is just n’zoth corruption. You THINK your auctions are selling. Are you sure you even posted anything?

Delisted everything I can but the WoW token is stuck in limbo. This is getting out of hand.

I feel for you on the token. That sucks. A lot more than I lost today.
