Can't sell my loot.

[myshiatsu]

When I interact with a merchant, I can converse and purchase items. However, I cannot reverse the interaction to SELL said items. Am I missing something painfully obvious?

[ralphtobybob]

Down at the bottom of the merchant screen, you'll see the merchant's name on the left, and your character's name on the right. When you click on your character's name your inventory should be displayed.

Is that not happening?

[myshiatsu]

My screen has a large dark square on the left side with all the categories of items. At the bottom is the name of the merchant on the left, mine on the right. I can go through the items across the top, then down to select and purchase. I cannot gain access to my name to switch the direction of transaction.

certain merchants only buy certain things by default

[hd_panik]

Try Pressing ALT in the vendor window to change to your inventory, on controller it should be Select/Back

[Draufen]

angel is right, unless you get a perk allowing you to sell anything to anyone, some people buy only something

[myshiatsu]

I keep testing myself on the game and the transaction thing that won't work. I can't sell to a merchant (anything) and if I need to trade with Lydia, I can only TAKE from her. Oddly enough, if I drop something, I can tell her to pick it up. No problem.

are you running any mods if you are one of them might be in conflict causing no sell item bug. please let us know if are running mod/s and which ones and what order

[MentalRaptors]

At the risk of sounding stupid but here goes: Have you tried different merchants? They have a limited amount of gold to buy your stuff unless you buy equally, merchant's gold will replenish over a few game days.

Other than that I too suspect a mod conflict. You should at least check the order in which they are applied, provided you are running any.

No suggestion is stupid. I have been checking my mods, and I suspect it IS something to do with them. From Adrianne to Carlotta. I just can't sell anything. Also, if I get into a treasure chest, I SHOULD be able to put something back in it. No go. I recently uninstalled Skyrim SE and Vortex/ NMM. I reinstalled both. I now have $MCM on my game, but I can't get it to do anything or show any choices or function. I'm wondering if I've a mod designed for the Anniversary Edition when I have the Skyrim SE.

its plausible . i have skyrim se and use the creation club mods only (mainly since i cant figure out the others online) plus its on skyrim se when you are on steam and it loads up and is pretty simple. it doesnt have alot other mods that are neat and cool but ive only had 2 mods in 10+ yr that didnt work so im ok with less + quality over more mods and ightmare to figure which ones do not work or are conflicting. ik some here will say its garbage but idk they work on my games but i also dont add 50+ mods in a game just like 20 or less- the free ones plus a few others like where vamps and werewolves can loot pick lock open doors ect loot bodies and chest because if playing rp or as those ina dungeon nothings dumber then having to change once day then going back and some bodies do disapear . ect

There is no technological difference between Skyrim SE and Skyrim AE; both use the identical SkyrimSE.exe (currently SkyrimSE.exe v. 1.6.1170/skse version 2.2.6). Skse and mods that depend on skse only version check against this main exe. It is possible that you have a mod version mismatch someplace in your load order.

"Anniversary Edition" will only be relevant to your modding if the mod in question modifies records from one of these Creation Club items https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Creation_Club

For what should be a base game mechanic like your merchant situation, if you use USSEP it might be worthwhile to see if you are using the correct version for whatever exe you are running (and as side comment, if you aren't good at sorting through skse compatibility issues you should stick to the most up-to-date game version so the community can help you more effectively).

actually there ar some mods that state specfically they work with one not the other so i disagree with you. why would mod creator say this if untrue and its more then one mod creator has stated this

There's a technically inaccurate convention where some players and mod authors use Special Edition for game version 1.5.97 and Anniversary Edition for game versions 1.6+.

The Steam store page defines Anniversary Edition as Skyrim Special Edition + Anniversary Upgrade (which is the Creation Club all-in-one deal); Anniversary Edition and Special Edition are the same game under the hood, the only difference being the optional content of the Upgrade. "Anniversary Edition" as such is used so ambiguously as to not be helpful for diagnosing help topics.

The wisest approach to mod versions is to start with the game executable number and then take into account any other prerequisites.

ok i didnt know that my apologies for being incoorect with info i had at hand. i did wonder for a time because i have skyrim orignal and then got se and was given ae with creatio9n club free mods so always wondered why mine on steam only says skyrim or skyrim se though i have all 3 only 2 show up even when searching store says i have it installed . so does this mean in essence the mod creators saying their mods work for one or other is incorrect or mainly that one is older version not updated to current so to speak . sorry ik off to side of Op's question a bit. thanks for teaching me someing i didnt know correctly better be informed then informed wrong and think in the know of things

Just a question, what resolution are you playing on. Some higher ones are known to cause all sorts of problems.
