Black Tiger hides, of which I have sold a lot of them lately, are not showing up under my character listing when sold.

The first two I sold showed up under my name, the next 5 I sold did not, the next 5 after that did, and then finally the last 4 I sold did not show either.

Thing is the other items I sell seem to be fine, but it seems to only be this item. Also my character name is not showing up under the last 25 sold even if they sold within the posted time frame. Any ideas?

FFXIAH.com can only update so fast, if you go buy 20 say Spider Webs it won't show all of them, Just the price history. I'm not 100% sure of how it works, but seems like to me it just checks the Price history.

Our system does not scan every auction house continually. It goes extremely fast, processing tens of thousands of items per minute, but there's only so fast we can go without bringing SE down on us like a ton of bricks for denial-of-service attacking them.

This means that there is a few minute delay between the time our system scans an item's history, then finishes scanning every other item, on every other server, and comes back to that item again. Over the years we have optimized this operation from a delay of over an hour, to just a few minutes, although sometimes there'll be a log jam in the data and it'll take the parser a few additional minutes to work through its backlog.

If the item is a very high-traffic item, and the transaction entry has fallen off the bottom of the in-game AH history by the time our parser gets around to it again, it will be "lost" and our site will fail to record it. As you pointed out, this is relatively rare and only effects a few items.
