All 4 of these complaints deal with selling items from the inventory in the trading post:

1: All the items are displayed in one long list. Items used to be displayed in multiple pages. I could check them a page at a time, keeping up with my progress. With my sometimes 80 items displayed in the trading post (I have one invisible bag), it becomes extremely difficult to keep track of where I am when checking the selling prices, because

2: The prices displayed in that panel are set at “highest buying price” and cannot be changed to “lowest selling price”, which is the price I use when deciding to sell, salvage or merch.

3: When I sell an item, if it is low enough on the displayed list, the scroller on the side moves on its own to a random spot, needlessly complicating this entire process, making me lose progress.

4: The items in this list are displayed out of order: I always keeps rares and exotics in the bottom of my inventory, with greens, blues, and whites at the top. Without fail, one of those rarities is displayed in the bottom of the list.

For a better overview of your inventory in the sell item UI, you can click each bag individually on the left side of the UI, so it only shows up to 20 items.

You can also enable Gnashblade mode, just type in the search panel of the TP:
I am Evon Gnashblade

This will flatten the height of the item icons to the height of the description, so you get about 2 times more items displayed without scrolling.

@Knighthonor

because if you play the game on 1280*720 the letters would be extremely small?

I play at 1600×900 and i have no problem.
This feature actually doesnt do anything to the letter size, it only shrinks the icons to the height of the letters.

  1. what they said about clicking on a bag to see that “page.”
  2. look to the lower-right box when trying to sell, there is what you seek, right at the top
  3. Actually, it refreshes the entire list whenever you change your inventory even slightly. I hate it, too, especially if I deposit crafting stuff with the TP UI open.
  4. never seen that, so can’t help you. Are you 100% sure you didn’t miss one? Or running into the #3 problem?

Clicking on the bags helps tremendously fellas. It was just a function that I’d never noticed and never used.

As to what Rognik said on no.2, all I’ve seen is a toggle to arrange items in ascending or descending order. I haven’t seen anything to change displayed price. Thanks for the help.

When you select the item you want, a new window will pop up. This will mostly apply to selling items as I rarely buy them, but it functions pretty close. The pop-up window will have a slider for how many of the item you want to sell, the price per unit you will sell it at, and the two windows below: one for buy orders and one for listed items. For selling, buy orders are on the left, with the highest buy order at the top; on the other side, the lowest listing price is at the top and increases down the list. That 2nd window is what I’m talking about.

If you want to know the lowest selling price is, but don’t want to accidentally list it on the market (for whatever reason), it should be listed in the main window when you seek to buy that item. Could be wrong here, though.

Ah, I see what you’re saying now. But what I meant was we shouldn’t have to click on the item to see what we can sell it for.

When you enter the TP, and click “sell items” at the top, everything in your inventory will be displayed with a price, although some will have nothing. The price that is displayed is the highest buying order. I’d like to be able to change that to the lowest selling price. Hopefully, I explained that ok.

I want to be able to match my own sell listings.

1) Yes it’s annoying if you have a lot of items to scroll through if you don’t select by bag.

2) Yes certainly can, just not set it as default. That’s a lack of settings problem since for a short time it did select lowest sell price and there was a cry out to change it back.

3) Likely it’s a pain to keep track of and it’s a side effect of removing the item from the list. I haven’t had this problem probably because I sell sequentially from the top down.

4) Never seen that. The initial sort order is bag/position in bag, left to right, top to bottom.

Oh, I understand now. Again, the lack of persistent settings for the TP.

Because it’s beta code. If the TP crashes or does funny things, you brought in on yourself for using a beta mode.
