- armor filter by armor class
- option to display only items usable by current character.
- repeat last order.
- remember last input amount.
- ability to buy/sell larger than 250. say 1000
- buy/sell history graphs with prices and dates.
- outbid notification mails.
- sell posting fee 50% return when removing item from sell listings.
- +10% posting fee if undercutting highest seller by less than 5% of current prize. original idea by Romek.4201 just a bit more expanded

most of those I can agree with – armor filter by weight / profession (and able to search for back and breather), repeat, remember, higher buy amounts (1,000 isn’t high enough; no limit is the only limit I can see a good reason to have)
some I think should not be added – buy/sell history: you may want to know how well dusk (for example) has sold in the past, but if everyone had better than 20/20 vision, that would be the new norm and you doing research would give you no advantage over anyone. This would only minimize all potentials for profit.
a few I would hate – outbid notification would also necessitate a spam filter in the mail, higher posting fee on some listings is overly complicated

I would add:
- listing and buy price can only have 3 significant digits with as many trailing zeroes as you want. So 3s12c and 3s13c would be fine. 30s12c would get turned into 30s10c. 342g12s99c would get turned into 342g0s0c. I believe this does the same purpose as your complicated last suggestion without any people yelling at their screen about hidden fees and conspiracies.
- when selling an item, have it show the buy and sell listings currently listed (maybe 20 or so) and not just the highest and lowest offers.

Romek: 99.99% of TP listings are undercutting. if someone is selling ectos for 90s, you are undercutting them when you sell for 30s. I’ve had the honor of placing a few non-undercutting listings once in a while. This only happens when there are Zero (with a capital Z) sell listings on that item. What’s the point of adding a tax that is used in all but 0.01% of situations? It would be easier to just add it all the time, as that 0.01% would not be noticeable. It would be like doubling the tax you pay on buying a car (IRR) for everyone except the person that buys the first one of that model that was produced (serial number 000000001)

There is nothing wrong with undercutting by <5%

Adding a penalty fee for lowering prices is based on the idea that the TP exists for the benefit of the seller, not the benefit of everyone.

You don’t have a right to sell at the price you want, only the right to post for what you want – if someone else is willing to take less money, then they clearly want the sale more than you do and they are providing a better value to the buyer.

Would you impose an additional 5-10% fee on a buyer who “overcut” the highest bidder? Why not? This buyer is raising the price for everyone and should be discouraged for acting against the interests of other buyers – right?

Corporatist tendencies aside, what I would like to see added is the number of unique sellers of an item at a given price point. If there are 10,000 vanilla beans for a single price, I would like to know if that is 2 or 3 sellers or 20-30 sellers. Of course they still remain anonymous…
