Since today’s (6 Dec) server reset, the auction house has become bugged for me, insofar as when I either filter search for a specific item (e.g. Vorpal) or just filter by rarity (e.g. Epic), I only get one or two results shown, when I know these are for searches that normally yield hundreds of results.

From mentions on Reddit, all items posted prior to maintenance are now hidden, which dramatically reduces the pool of items available to find in a search. The seller has to pull down their stuff and repost, losing fees if they are subject to them. Items with lowball bids will ultimately sell for the current offer, since no more bids will be placed on an invisible auction. There is a related issue where unsold items stay lodged on the AH unable to be removed, and transactions are not completed, until maintenance when everything dislodges and everyone gets their items or AD.
This has been an off and on problem on all platforms for... I'd say at least the last 6 months (through a couple of PC module releases or major updates). PC players had been able to work around the stuck unsold item bug via Gateway, at least until we lost that.

If all my bids are going to be low ended now or I lose my posting fee & take it down....then have to pay it twice....
That's pretty lame
Reposted the ones I could pull & have had a few sales since...seeing as how now the items show up to others on the auction house. What a waste of AD & (more importantly for me) time....arc should pull the posting fee; its waived anyway for a certain level of VIP & since their bugs are adversely effecting the auction house I believe it's the least the can do until they get things sorted so customers don't have to pay twice to list an item so its actually visible if an items auction house "stay" in the auction house exceeds the time frame when weekly routine maintenance occurs.
I've pulled & reposted all of my sales I could. I have little free time as-is & I'd rather be playing than making tickets...so I just ate the AD loss.
They keep up at this rate & I'll be playing something else until when/if they get their act/code together.
For now my advice is to not list an item for any longer than a few days & at specific time frames so it's either sold or returned to you for claim prior to every Tuesday when the routine maintenance that seems to cause as many issues as it fixes, occurs.
