Trading on ethereum - no tokens in tokens tab but transactions exist?

[tumis]

 Recently I wanted to sell a token at a good price but I didn't manage it. However, someone else who has an ethereum address and is not a bot warned me.

The strange thing is that in the tab tokens I do not have a single transfer.

Only in the transactions tab are swaps and quite often. How is it and why does it work like this. For the first time I noticed something like this.

The guy sells tokens and maybe I buy them but I only see swaps, you can not see that he owns tokens at all. Can someone explain what it is and how it works?

What's the wallet you are using?
What's the platform you are using for trading?
Without knowing the answers to above questions is impossible to understand what's the issue you are talking about.

I guess you are trying to sell an ERC20 token on decentralized exchange? Right?
And what do you mean by not seeing tokens? Do you mean an address has a token but it's not shown on block explorers?

No.

It's about etherscan website itself

I noticed an address that trades tokens but does not have them as usual in the tokens tab and generally does not show that it has them

Sometimes, etherscan was facing bug but im not sure about that. Did your tx becomes successful? i meant your transaction was making your balance disappear.

The question is, did your balance already decreased after the tx for the swap already appeared? If that's not yet deducted from your wallet and then it could be a bug. You can also check it with another explorer to make sure whether the tokens already delivered in your wallet or not. You must need to double check your wallet. I hope that's just a bug that can be solved.

Can you share the address? (If you don't mind about your privacy leak, of course)

Note that even if a bug causing your tokens to not show in a block explorer like etherscan, there is nothing to worry about.
What matters is that if the tokens are shown in your wallet or in the decentralized exchange you connect your wallet to. You may need to add the token details manually.

That could be bug that makes the token not to show in the wallet. Or are you the one trying to send out the token? What is the response you get when you trying doing the sending?

You can make a screenshot of your challenge so it be easy for solution to you on that.

Use other tracker to verify if there's really no visible tokens on that address that you use. That might be a bug if there's a transaction that has existed yet the tokens were not there.
