Platinum Auction House bugged?

Both I and a guildmate were trying to find a piece of armor in the AH last night. We both had enough plat to purchase an item but it wouldn't let either of us buy or bid on any items.

Once I went to the bank and added more plat to my inventory the option to buy items appeared.

Is there an issue with how the AH calculates how much plat is in your inventory?

I know it adds a (seemingly random) amount to the last bid automatically, and if you don't have at least that much on you it won't let you bid. I can only imagine it wouldn't let you buy an item outright if it left you at 0 plat as well.

Not random, a 5% increase, rounded down.

As to OP, did you have enough plat in inventory, not just in bank vault?

I often have to remember to re-click an item I am buying and keep the cursor more to the right side of the line item in order to activate the bid or buyout buttons. If I click toward the center of the line item, it highlights the line item, but doesn't activate the buttons. It has a similar effect to what you described.

Yea -the UI is broken -has been for years. Click around on other items, then click back on the one you want. The buy button will eventually light up.

The item I was trying to purchase was only ~15,000 plat and I had well over 150k plat so ....

We both did that several times.
The only resolution was to put another 100k plat in my inventory.

(the item was ~15k plat and I had over 150k on me at the time)
