I just got Business II and put about 5 things up for premium auction. It didn't seem to do anything other than cost me 100 credits instead of 20...

Anyone else seeing this? I'd love to be able to get my goods onto the first screen, but right now everything I make goes on the third or fourth screen...

This has always been broken and has never worked. Would be nice if it did tho.. mebbe separate the serious sellers from the morons that put 3 units if ore on the market for 500 credits.

Actually what it seems to do is the following (while it seems broken it isn't - but it doesn't work as we would expect it) -->
=======
Premium Auction (100cr per bazaar line item):
This places a higher 'sort order' on the item itself such that it has a more likely chance to be listed on the first page(s) when the bazaar item list goes to multiple pages for that catagory.
It does not 'highlight', color, nor make any other differentiation of the item so it appears as if your 100cr went to nothing when in reality it did.....but only if that list is multiple pages!
======
Note: "more likely chance" means that it marks it as a premium item - if everyone were to enter 2000 premium items your chance to be on the first couple of page lists is back to random.......perhaps one day the developers will add your Merchant skill ranking to this sorting factor in conjunction with it.....and maybe they won't....sigh

Highlighted?? Can you describe how it was highlighted?
Interesting....anyone else confirm or deny this?
Mine were not working two days ago - I'll have to go check again to see if it was fixed...
Thanks.
