WHEN are you going to allow us to CTRL-Click multiple items and set them all for an identical price, selling them all at one time??? so sick of selling each item individually. This applies to re-selling items that head back to the stock room after 30 days. I usually have 500-1000 items on my vendor, so obviously not all of them sell in 30 days, and when the time runs out it's disgustingly obnoxious work to have to put 300-500 of them back on my vendor.
No honey this is what we #####NEED####!!!!
Ifitems *have* to be dropped from vendors after 30 days then fine but on
the stockroom page, there should be a button at the bottom along with
'retrieve' & 'sell' called 'back to vendor'. This would place the item back on the
vendor with the original price AND description and this should be made to
work with multi-selections. So you can just go to the stockroom, highlight all
and press the magic button.
Just imagine how much wasted time and effort would this save?

TH, got a question for you, mon frère. When the resource names and quantities return, is it going to slow down the marketplace again? I guess my point is: it's hard to judge the functionality of the bazaar and vendors right now because we don't know how the database is going to respond once it has the full data to deal with again.
As of right now, the response time of bazaar and vendor listings is amazing. If this speed can be maintained once the resource names and quantities are reinstated, you guys will have made me a very happy Wookiee
It should not slow down the market place. The listing data is a small amount of data that wont grind things to a halt. There were other types of "under the hood" commands and functions that were slowing things down.
I'm glad to hear we've made you a happy Wookiee

But in addition to fixing resources on the Bazaar what about the Categories fo everything else?
What I mean is: items like skirts are all in misc. clothing not in skirts under clothing, Wookiee clothing should go under wokiee clothing not misc. clothing. And there are tons of items that should go under other categories.
What I'm saying is: now that the backend hardware is improved it would be nice if you could improve the organiation of items, it would really improve and speed up the process of buying goods. The organization currently is fine, we just need to go through and make sure everything is classified in the right category and is filtered properly in the Bazaar.
Now that the back end is done, we willbe doing a UI revamp which will address these sortsof requests.

PLEASE don't forget to include a search function. Right now browse-only interface is such a pain...

Is there any possibility of getting a "search" function on the Bazaar? I'ld love to just be able to type in "Imperial Plan" and hit search, and find all Imperial Plan discs in the Galaxy..
Or more relevant, search for "Gong Adhesive"

Could you please please please at some point remove the cap from in-game auctions and allow a set buyout price. This would remove the idea of the trade forums altogether as people could then auction thier items in game. I don't mean for normal sales but just the auction side of things. Then also allow it so that if we bid the buyout price we don't have to wait the entire week to get our item.

Is there any plan to allow the bazaar to accept bids for auctions with a 6000cr starting bid?
Perhaps make the maximum starting bid of an auction at 5999cr, or turn any auction thatstarts 6000cr into an instant-buy.
I hate it when people list items that are obviously more valuable than 6000cr but they put it up as an auction with a starting bid of 6000cr.
Since you can't bid 6001cr, it is impossible to actually bid on these items.
I'd like to see an auction capability on vendors. No bidlimit, up to 30 day auction time.

Why don't you send the item owner an email and ask how much he/she wants for it - they are obviously putting it there to advertise the fact that the item is available. If the devs take away that ability, you will never see those types of items listed again and you can spend your daysscouring the Galaxy Trade Forums and the loot vendors on your server.

Start building items with your stores waypoints then... make it your advertisement for your real vendors... use the system... don't let it use you.

Can you PLEASE move the Factory crates out of their own category and list them alongside the actual items they are comprised of?
Right now, that category includes anything and everything crated and serves no purpose other than making it harder to find what we want.

If I could make one suggestiong, instead of a GALAXIE wide request, allow me to select specific planets.
in theory that kind of request would be a shorter result instead of dumping the database to the terminal.

The fix is working fine.
Could you please change the size of the fields of the listings so that the field for the name of the item is larger? The item name is probably the most important field, but it's so narrow, it shows very little of theitem name. Some of the other fields are much wider than needed for the information displayed, so could be made narrower. For example, there is a limit of 6000 credits for bazaar sales, which means only four digits need to be displayed, yet the field for credits is wider than needed to display four digits. Lilkewise, the premium auctions field display only an asterisk, but the field for premium auctions is wider than needed.
It would proably be all right if you truncated the name of the general resource category, or general type of item, since with very long names, it is still possible to figure out what it is. But please make the field for the name of the item as wide as possible.

Why should we have to adjust it every time we log in and pull up the bazaar?

You can adjust it - just hover your house over the category title and slide it left/right...

What I would like to see is when there isn't an item in a certain category available on a Vendor/Bazaar then that category is invisible.
Would save me from looking through empty categories as I like to see what is interesting that may be on a vendor and sometimes spendan hour in front of one looking through it.
