That works for PC. Not so for Playstation (and the original poster specifically said PS4).People don't always realise you can type the details of the item you are trying to sell directly into the TTC website to get a price- you don't need an add-on to use Tamriel Trade Centre
Dues are much more common on console than PC as they don't have the tools for getting sales data from members.Guilds with weekly "dues" are a red flag. There are plenty of trading guilds with well placed store NPCs that don't have any weekly requirements other than just weekly login activity.
Also, don't confuse trading guilds with regular multipurpose friendly guilds.Some are fine but others are virtually asocial entities there only to access guild stores and sell stuff.
Just look carefully next time into the guild you're thinking of joining. There are more good ones than bad ones if you know what to look for and what to avoid.

Once again guilds have left me with a bad taste in my mouth and have soured me on even playing this game as a mmo and simply doing solo quests and content, I am a 60 yr old veteran and family man. I have a 33 yr old autistic son who has 2 master's degrees and teaches middle school science. I am a supervisor for a very well known company and have been for over 7 yrs. My game time is my relaxation time and no I don't always know what stuff is worth, what the mechanics of a dungeon is or where to locate things at times.
I play this game sporadically at best but one thing I have always done was if I was unsure or if I needed something I would ask for "help" be it in zone, guild chats or whatever. Tonight I simply asked for some Mud crab Chitin for a writ and I was more then wiling to pay for this. I was then accused of scamming cause I had asked before for something in zone and guild. Now true i am learning alchemy and enchanting as well as jewel crafting so I don't know all the mats and what they are worth and I had asked. All they had to say was hey man np how much you need and then tell me what it would cost and thats end of story.
No they didn't instead they proceed to bash me in open guild chat and talk to me like im some sort of criminal, finally i said ok fine whatever I pulled all my items from their store and since I had only been there a little over a week and had not really sold much I requested my donation of 8k back. Course they refused but I was not really expecting them to do it I was just being as obtuse as they were being at this point. Long story short they kick me and some dude pays me 16k which I did not ask for I only asked for my original 8k donation...My point here is simple..I am DONE with these big guilds who think they can control everything in a video game cause at the end of the day its a video game end of story.
I am on the ps4 na server and from now on if I need something I will simply get it.....IF I decide to sell something I will sell it at cost for little or no profit or goodness forbid I WILL PROBABLY SIMPLY GIVE IT AWAY...keep your trading guilds and your so called friendly social guilds I don't need them! It is my honest opinion that guilds as a whole are the main reason MMO's get such a lousy reputation.....oh and PS to the guild that kicked me tonight thanks for the extra cash I'm sure me and my 7 maxed characters will put it too good use by actually helping someone who deserves it. Have a nice day!!!!

2.) to strengthen your position, you bring personal references like being a veteran, but this is completely irrelevant for the issue
The game offers many guilds, use 2-3 non-trading guilds to get started as "social" guilds (helping each other with mats/quests), and 2-3 for trading only.
Don't forget there are real people running the guilds, so if someone overreacts, it can happen - they are human. Don't generalize it, move on, join another.
As a general rule of thumbs, don't put trading requests in larger trading guilds, they expect you to use the guildstore.as they must pay millions each week to secure a good trading location, so depend on the housecut.

I'm not sure we are talking about the same thing.
I'm playing on PC EU and the trading guilding is deadly and not forgiving competition.
I'm member of two from three trading guilds which are able to sell 1Billion golds per week on regulalar basis.
Even members around 300th position are selling 1million golds per week so we are perfectly fine with the weekly quota 500k
as the guild has the best spot in the game, best guildhouse in the game and we don't worry that somebody else dares to outbid us for too long as this is declaratrion of guildwar and they can't win against us.
Why ? Because guilds without strong players and owners are not able to pay 100millions golds bills every week for hired NPC.
There was one crisis, when folks were buying cheapo crowns in Latin America, possibly laudering money from stolen credit cards and selling crownstore items for PC EU players but thankfully these people were mostly banned and competition is more or less clear now.
So the guy who laments about his 8k donation and asking for mudcrab chitin in guildchat is absolutely unaware what is going on.
I was running small trading guild myself and wasted 30millions golds on that just in couple of months, not speaking about wasted time so I know what I'm talking about.
As the in-game economy is really NOT FORGIVING and people running top trading guilds are really dedicated to their guilds and they are wasting a lot of time and real currency (we are talking about USD 150 every week which must be covered by ingame donations or by guild owners) they really CAN'T allow a single underperforming slot in the trading guild with hired NPC in some better location then outlaw refuge or in the middle of nowhere .
It is simply not possible , at least on PC platform.
