Into a 12 hour account and store maintenance. Obviously broken something else. But its crown store related so being addressed. Says a lot.

I work in Software development and I know that if we get a 'critical' bug from the client - we literally have days to turn it round and issue a fix.
Fair enough if it gets fixed in the next scheduled maintenance - but if it doesn't I will really have to consider cancelling my ESO Plus membership so that I can at least carry on playing. There isn't even a work around as far as I know?
And as others have said - the silence from ZOS is deafening.

Work arounds exist.

The "work around" is incredibly annoying it's not a solution nor is it a reason to consider this state of affairs acceptable.
This company has made quite a bit of money off us over the years with their $100 houses and $40 mounts and gambling crates it's not unreasonable to expect some of this put back into the game to deal with the ongoing issue's and continued decline in performance.

No... I would not wish on anyone the work around for the inability to see what you are posting in the guild trader, or what you are selecting in the crafting bag. That is ugly, even if it does work. People are doing it, though, and I have done it myself.
The bug never should have seen the light of day. Now that it has, ZOS finds themselves in the rather unenviable position of being between a rock and a hard place. Maybe this will be what it takes for them to start taking quality more seriously than they are.
Whether it will actually be fixed in June, I can hope, but honestly, it's a crapshoot.
The workaround for the vendor selling bug is not that bad, once you know about it.

I know - I initially tried to do the workaround that Jessica suggested but couldn't get it to work. Also the 'Search' does not work at all on my console. In addition I have 'lost' several items somehow, which may be related to this or may be a different 'bug'.
After a bit of messing around I did manage to get a workaround that works for me on Xbox console so I will detail it here.
From Inventory tap RB to get to Craft Bag and note the item selected. Using the Left Thumbstick you can 'move down' the list but the UI will not change. So - say your item is 4 items down from the selected item - if you move your thumbstick down 4 times then LB back to Inventory and then RB back to Craft Bag your item should then be 'selected' and you should be able to retireve it.
It's very fiddly and quite frustrating. Does anyone know what happens to the items in your craft bag if you cancel your ESO Plus sub? Do they just get put back in your bank (although I guess you'd need enough space in your bank to hold them all?)

Yes, population is down in all guilds I'm a member of on PS4 NA. Especially sad to see on our auction night - we're down at least 20-25 people from the norm and that's always been one of our most heavily populated nights as a guild. I've even had 2 long-term guild members leave permanently to start over on PC recently due to all this. The sad part is, that hurts my guild on console but ZOS won't give a fig since they are still getting their player count/money from them... just on a different platform.
Thanks, ZOS. Makes running a console guild feel so rewarding.

I see no reason to stop ESO Plus or cancel pre-orders based on this one thing. The game has been on console for many times longer than this bug will be.
The reason to do that is the accumulation of things, not just one thing. Some may be there, but I am not.
Compared to PC + Addons, the UI on the consoles is pretty primitive and seems designed to be more frustrating than useful. That has probably shifted my tolerance of crazy stuff, which includes the current bugs.
