auction house bug

if you search for something specifically. and then try and buy it out after you've bought about four things it cuts you off for half a minute? is this as intended? it's a pia? I've never had it happen before

    For some reason it is re-searching after each buy. It use to do it only after too many searched too quickly, but not buys.

    Since the release of MOD 14 on XBOX ONE, the auction house does not work as intended. Every time you purchase something, it prompts a "search" which ends up making the game think you're searching the item again every single time you purchase something in the same list. This makes it unbearably long to purchase items in a row, especially when you have to purchase a lot of items that people sometimes put in sets of 1 at a time. If you have items posted in the auction house and want to remove them from the auction house, it will also prompt a "supposed" search and make it impossible to take the items off quickly in succession without waiting for time to pass on the "search cooldown" even though nothing was actually searched.

    Long story short, the auction house is no longer working as intended. I thought the maintenance that was scheduled for today was to fix this, but it was not. I have spoken to many people and every single person I have spoken to is irate about this.

    Please get on this one immediately, as it is a huge issue for the community as a whole. It also results in the opposite of what was intended by limiting the AD to 100,000 rough ad per account per day, since people won't be able to spend it as easily and lose 10% cut. Due to this, less AD will be removed from the game, which is in complete opposition to the reasoning set forth by the developers as to why the change was made to the AD in the first place. So, this is actually quite important that the auction house works the way it always has and was intended to work. Please forward this information directly to the developers as URGENT.

    Thank you very much for your time!

    Buy 4 items? You must have some good luck. This morning it was:
    Buy 1 item....wait 8 seconds
    Buy 1 item....wait 8 seconds
    Buy 1 item....wait 8 seconds

    Fun times. Time-gated auction house purchases.

    This morning I got on and first thing I had was a 5 second wait. Guess they counted the search from the night before.

    I believe it's due to a hug of death type issue.

    I finally got it working again but shutting off my machine for about 10 minutes as recommended to me by someone else who had that problem.

    Try switching tabs. That seems to stop the "searching..." for me.

    I tried everything yesterday. nothing worked except logging out and off my console for five minutes. whether it would have resolved on it's own had I waited or not I don't know.. but I tried everything.
