The current implementation and interface is simply stating – less than bare bones.

Here are a few of my suggestions:

- send a mail to the player informing about each item sold, stating the name, price, posting fee, tax, and time of the transaction. This is simply a necessity, you can’t just dump all the gold on one pile with no information whatsoever what was sold!

- remove the Filters tab, instead place all filters above and below the search panel, so people can use them without opening clumsy tabs and windows. More advanced option such as AND/OR filters can go to an advanced tab)

- add the filter to search for medium/light/heavy armors

- add the filter to search for items that have a certain +stat on them

- add the ability to drag drop items from anywhere onto the Search field, instead of having to manually type in the sometimes awfully long names

- add a Find on TP option for all item popup menus (bank, inventory, collections, character page – AND chat)

- when you offer an item for sale, you should see not only that 1 person is selling it already for x gold, but also see the other 99 people who sell it at a higher price. Just like on the Buy screen. Otherwise you may be led to believe there is only 1 item available, which is misleading.

- remove the ability to post from anywhere. It destroys the market, people who farm events dump everything on the market using it as a omnipresent vendor. They do so even if it would be more profitable selling it at a vendor, because they don’t want to run all the way there, since staying and farming is more profitable still.
