[investigating] Phantom Returns From the Auction

The auction is harassing me, again - only this time by telling me that such and such has expired (this is still new to me but I'll try to do these links right for you)

This one should be of the homepage:

And this one is from my profile page:

And some newer ones:

The sauces and veggies are some of the things that went POOF when I broke the auction during last test ...they were not bought by anyone nor did they ever get returned to me...they just disappeared  - like a ton of my stuff did
Now it's saying that they've expired but still aren't in my inventory

(hoping I linked them right - if not, they are on my desktop and I can e-mail them to where ever you need me to)

  • Query: Is your inventory full already?

  • Nope...I have quite a few empty bags.

  • Do things get returned to inventory while the game is closed?  I thought they only got returned when the game reopened.

  • Items that you've put on auction and have either expired or that you've canceled, have always been returned to my inventory when the game is down (in fact I have the ones from after the game closed that I'd had on auction returned to my inventory earlier.

    These that are being referred to in my links are from when my auction was broken for a couple of days and, after being fixed, went POOF - not bought and not returned to me at the time.
    My problem is that I am now getting notices that they have expired (altho they are several days late for that) and yet still not showing up in my inventory

    Items that I buy from someone else while the game is down, go into my mailbox :)

  • I just noticed that stuff i bought recently is not shown on "Stuff you've bought" list in auctions. List shows items from 20 days ago atm. and changes with every refresh. Still my currants are not changed.

    I suppose only list is acting funky. I'm sure list was fine hours ago.

    edit: ooh data reorganization. :D

  • sgjo, you're a special case :)

    I'm currently doing some pretty major surgery on the data stores behind auctions. Once that's done I'll be able to look at you specifically, and get those items returned one way or another.

    ...although I suspect that's gonna mean that your nice, clean empty bags will end up chock-full of stuffs.

  • Aww...hitherto, ty. Most peeps would have put "basket" in place of  "special" - so you still luvs me, huh?
    As far as returning all of my stuffeths (72 pages worth) - no worries...just as long as I know that the auction data stores that you're working on doesn't mean guard dogs and barbed wire to keep me out :D :P
