Vendors don't always pay up

Recently I started to collect

Gold for some gambling fun, and noticed that our dear town vendors don't always pay!

It doesn't happen that often, but once in a while after dropping an item into the window, I could hear the sound of coins being deposited, but then when I checked my stash and my backpack, the 35k are no where to be found. o.O

Meanwhile the said vendor just stood there pretending nothing was wrong ... how could they do such things after claiming to be my friends and all that?

Anyone noticed this before?

Hahahah, haven't really paid enough attention to confirm or deny this, but your post made me laugh

Is your character full on

Gold perhaps?

Gold never automatically moves to your stash, it moves to your character. If the character is full (or close to it), it fills the character to the limit and everything left over drops to the Ground next to you. I.e. you then need to manually drop your character's

Gold into your stash and run back to pick up the

Gold on the Ground.

Haven't observed any other "non-payment" myself.

Nope there wasn't any overflow issue for the

Gold. Of that I am sure.

The reason I mentioned checking both my backpack and stash is that both

Gold amount are displayed when the vendor window is open. When the non-payment events happened, I knew for sure that my backpack didn't receive any

Gold. And then, just in case some weird thing happened such as the

Gold was directly deposited into my stash, I also made sure to check my stash amount as well.

Ever since I started doing more

Travincal runs, I have been hauling back some junk blue items to vendor frequently. During this period I have seen the vendor not paying issue quite a few times, so it's not too rare of a glitch. Maybe they had my in-game routing/account number wrong? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Maybe stealing player

Gold is how Blizzard helps to finance server costs. At least I think that's how these things work.

Did it happen from a single sale or after selling lots of stuff? Maybe there's a hidden ceiling to NPC

Gold that can go out?

Where are you playing from? Did you get banned from SWIFT?

Apologies if you are aware of this OP, but if you are able to wear Wealth armor and/or other

Gold find gear during trav runs you fill up on

Gold pretty fast without needing to bother with selling blues.
