About TB Alt-Trader
Features
Trading Items
TB Alt-Trader enables the use of ALT-clicking in any situation where you would want to "trade" items:
- To trade items with other players (can be used to initiate trade as well).
- At the bank.
- At the guild vault.
- To post auctions.
- To attach items to a letter.
- To sell items to a vendor.
The above work in both directions; in other words; you may alt-click items to return them to your inventory.
The default Blizzard UI already supports right-clicking, which only works for some of those cases. Thus, you cannot right-click to initiate a trade with someone (right-clicking uses the item, so you need to open trade first). In this respect, TB Alt-Trader provides one consistent way to "trade" items.
Buying Full Stacks
Thanks to TB Alt-Trader it is also possible to purchase an entire stack simply by alt-clicking it from the merchant.
Purchasing Limits
TB Alt-Trader allows you to purchase up to 999 of any item at a time, by shift-clicking or shift-right-clicking an item sold by a vendor. The default Blizzard UI only allows the purchase of up to one stack at a time.
Any third-party script or add-on that invokes the BuyMerchantItem() function will automatically take advantage of this feature.
Alternate Currencies
TB Alt-Trader extends stack-purchasing to items that require alternate currencies (such as Honor Points). Under the default UI, only items purchasable purely with gold are eligible.
Mouse Wheel Scrolling
TB Alt-Trader adds support for mouse wheel scrolling to the merchant frame. Scrolling down will advance to the next page, whereas scrolling up will return to the previous page. Holding shift will scroll all the way, while holding control will scroll to the halfway point relative to your position and your scrolling direction.

About the Author
I am a professional software engineer who plays World of WarCraft way too much and develops add-ons as a hobby (crazy, I know!). I have played the same character since the release of World of WarCraft, a hunter called Valana, in the Ridiculously Beautiful guild on the Magtheridon realm. I raid some, but my primary focus in this game is PvP.

Do you have any other addons which might be blocking this functionality, like another mail or auction addon? I've just tried with all my other addons disabled, and it was working correctly. I re-enabled all my addons and it was still working. Please let me know if maybe there is some prior sequence of actions that leads to this. Also please make sure you're running r24-release, as it fixes a bug with the Blizzard API which was causing some alt-clicks not to work after you opened the send-mail frame.
Thanks!
