I have not experienced this lately. There was a period a few weeks ago when I could hardly use the market at all because of lag. My one tip is to watch the chat messages from the market. While the GUI is often completely wrong, the chat messages seem to be much more accurate. I don't think I've ever seen them be wrong. It might look like you just got an item from the market. You can see it sitting in your inventory. But if the chat message doesn't say you got it, then you don't have it. Eventually it will rubberband back into the market.

This has been happening to me on Guardian (but not on Virtue), too.
Interesting. I am on Guardian as well. Perhaps this is a good time to avail myself of a free server transfer to use a different server's market, then return to Guardian...
Thanks for the input, folks.

Debt barely slows down levelling these days. It's just a little bar that measures how much Awesome you've generated recently. (If you're not getting debt, you're just not trying to generate Awesome hard enough.) -Kelenar
The market is cross server, but I do wonder if Guardian (or any other specific server) may be having issues communicating to the market server ?
I am an ebil markeeter and will steal your moneiz ...correction stole your moneiz. I support keeping the poor down because it is impossible to make moneiz in this game.
Which antivirus program do you use ?
I had the same problem and several others that I traced back to AVG, and an update to it that caused it to put a bigger hit on the system than normal
i havent had any bad market lag on victory server, the only lag i get with the market at all is when im opening the market interface up.
Been happening to me on protector since Friday evening. Even putting things in and taking them out of the market has become very difficult.
