How Do Guild Stores Work?

From what I can gather it's something similar to how auction houses function in other games? Every time I go up to a guild store vendor though, I scroll through every category of item and nothing shows up.
Do you need to be a member of a guild to purchase from a guild store?

✭✭No, anyone can purchase from a guild store. You have to run a search for items to appear. You can just hit "R" to see everything, or you can select a category first. Or, if you are looking for something specific, enter text into the search box first.0 -

You'd be better off avoiding them. They usually have ridiculous prices, so you already need to have a lot of gold to be able to buy anything.1 -

Prices are high due to the lack of gold sinks in the game, but new players can benefit from this too. Just spent an hour harvesting and sell the raw mats and you have just as much "buying power" as someone who did the same thing 3 years ago.GM of Gold Coast Corsairs - PCNA1 -

I was looking for Provisioning recipes and found the prices to be fairly resasonable vs. the amount of work I'd have to do to have gotten them all myself.
I can see that for other things some of them are pretty outrageous though.1 -
LikiLoki✭✭✭✭This is the most common question from beginners. The thing is that the store's interface is terrible1 -

✭✭I recall it took rather long for me before I realised the reason I found only empty guild stores was me not pressing 'r'.1 -

The whole guild store system is terrible. Why Zenimax won't entertain an auction house, despite the fact that it would make buying and selling much easier, is beyond. Only the minority making fat profits from the guild store system, have anything to lose, whilst the majority of players would benefit.2 -

To this I say, shop around, you can find some great deals this way. Usually prices in the markets in the major hubs will be higher but going outside of those major hubs and you will find some great deals.Everyone is going in one direction, I'm going the other direction1 -

and here we go again ---- went almost two weeks without an auction house suggestion.
it would be lore breaking
the minority would control it whereas now they cant
the majority of players would not benefit.
the guild system is fine as it is --- if there was a central auction house -- rich peeps like me would definitely
control it - you'd be putting cheap stuff all in the same place for us to buy up and then control the market on it whereas
now you have hundreds of guild traders so the market cannot be cornered3 -
ZOS_IcymodGreetings,
This thread has been moved to the Players Helping Players section, as it is better suited there.
Thank you for your understanding.
