A few reasons:

• The person concerned does not answer your messages on Guildwar shop (Give him a little of time however : around 10 days)
• He doesn’t come to agreed time for the exchange. (contact him again)
• He doesn’t have the item that you bought from him.
• He doesn’t have money to pay you the item you sold him.

In the case you will have to declare the buyer: "insolvent" Thru you link of "Sold items". Afterward give him a negative feedback (stay polite) then after put again your item for sale that will be asked in that same page.

Someone left a negative feedback, but I did not deserve it.

At first you should try to establish the contact with the person who left you the negative feedback, with the intention that he explains you his point of view. If it proves that he made an error, contact us and explain us, we will fix it. But if he gives you good reasons, it is incumbent to you to be itemive, and to accept what succeeds to you and to make sure that it does not happened again.

I left a negative feedback to a bad seller, and he left me a negative also while I did not deserve it, what can I do?

This type of attitude of revenge can lead others to doubt you. To avoid this, we recommend you to keep a maximum of proof of your good faith, as exchanges of messages on the site or even from screenshots of doubtful transaction during game (very easy, just print screen towards top and right of your keyboard). Then contact us.

I can’t give feedback, why?

Many possible reasons:
- If it’s a bidding sale, is the reserve price is reached? If not, you did not win the item. If on the opposite reserve price is reached and that sale has just ended today, wait the following day. You will be able to your feedback (it is necessary to wait that sales are updated by the system carried out at midnight by the site).
- If it’s a direct sale, transaction has to be agreed by the seller (into "Manage my sales"> Transaction in waiting)

The forum is there to help you but don’t forget that other persons already ask the same questions. Think of consulting archives. Here is a Tutorial helping you there.

I would like to know with which software I could make a picture for my signature.

For the software which it is necessary to have, it is a question of feeling, they all require a minimum of "workmanship" before getting to some good results. Here is some of the existent software to modify pictures:

• (Not free) Photoshop
• (Not free) Paint Shop
• (Not free) PhotoImpact XL
• (Not free) Fireworks
• (Free) Paint.NET
• (Free) The Gimp

Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro are among the most powerful and the most complete, but they risk putting you off at the beginning. We rather recommend you Paint.NET, who is easier and free.

When updates of Guild Wars will come into the world, Guild Wars Shop will evolve to allow the sale of the new items?

Yes, we update the site, and will make all small necessary modifications to allow the sale of all new items which will bring add-on.

I’m banished, and now?

Nothing. Banishment is applied to the account, but also to its owner, what means that a second account of the same person (and with a different pseudo) will be also banished.

I was banished without warning, it’s not fair!

We consider that a registered member agrees to follow the rules of Guild Wars Shop. Going against one and it’s… the door. However, the team of Guild Wars Shop sometimes informs the members during little offences, and then the accused member has chances to straighten the bar. But if he commits a second offence, bye!

I was banished but they didn’t give me reason!

If, in all honesty, you have no idea of reason for which you were banished, send us a mail to ask.

I wish unregister from the site (destruction of your account and its information linked to it)

Make a request here admin alert.
