Wentworth's: ~75% chance clicking does nothing

I don't have any idea what might be the cause of this, but on all my characters (at least on Virtue, where I play most), clicking on "post" or "get" or dragging salvage to the storage tab at Wentworth's seems to have about a 1 in 4 chance of actually working. Most of the time, it appears to work, and then reverts about 2-5 seconds later. I do not get any message in my chat log except for the normal one when it actually works.

Anybody know what's up with this?

It's some kind of user interface lag. From my experience it's tied to server load and/or the number of player characters in your surrounding. It might help a bit to monitor the market messages in the chat window and to wait a bit between clicking buttons. However, I still had it happen that I bought multiple items instead of the single one I wanted or getting my buttons greyed out when I clicked multiple times to retrive a single item from WW. Generally I try to avoid the market during peak hours now.
