Can i set how many days i put my items in trading guild for sale?

Pcgamer · May 26

Hi,
I joined a trading guild and hardly sold anything but im stuck there with no vendor anymore and still wks of my items being in the guild store. I joined another guild in a better higher teaffic area and sold lots of my items.
Why is it that if a guild lose their trader we are still stuck with our items in the guild store without a trader. It doesnt seem fair for 2 reasons; 1. You are not goung to sell as many if any items without a trader cos most of your guildies are also trying to sell rather than buy items.
2. When we join a trading guild we dont get a chance to test out if we can sell in it or even if we like the guild. Unfair to get stuck for weeks cos i dont want to lose my tax gold when i put on some quality items on there.

You can get back the goods you're selling at any moment.

Though it would be horrible if the goods were returned to you once the guild lost a trader bid. Setting them for sale is not free.

Hi @Pcgamer

Sometimes a trade guild will lose their bid on a trade kiosk - it happens. For the period of time the guild is without a trade kiosk, guild members can still buy from the store (accessed via any banker). Most GMs will encourage members to do exactly that, to keep goods moving and bring in a little revenue. On that basis, it doesn't make sense to "cancel" every listing when a kiosk is lost - an action that would also hurt the guild when it bids and wins next week.

If items aren't selling - for any reason - you can always cancel the listing and either re-list at a lower price point, or with a different guild.

In case you didn't know, you can really improve your experience of trading with a few addons.

Tamriel Trade Centre does two things - it shows you what items have been listed for, and if you install the app too, it posts your lists to the internet site. Then, everyone on your sever searching for that item can see where it's listed, and at what price. Really useful!

Master Merchant or Arkadius Trade Tools gives you some cool sales tracking capabilities, including maintaining a database of the price that items actually sell for - note, TTC above shows you what they're LISTED for, but MM and ATT show you what they ACTUALLY SOLD for. There could - and often is - a difference based on the location of your trader, and the popularity of your item, and the availability.

Awesome Guild Store is, in my option, an absolute must for traders. It changes the trader interface for the better and provides lots of helpful gadgets to track your sales.

Looks like you're on PC, so if you haven't done so google Minion for ESO, as Minion is the easiest way to manage your addons for ESO.

Hope that helps

Note, even the best Trading Guild will lose it's Kiosk once in a while. So, I would hold tight, check the MOTD Banner for any messages about the Trader Situation. If it goes a couple of weeks, then think about pulling the items back.
