Hello -
The following is how I believe the new vendor search option on the bazaar should work in order to promote a user friendly interface and also give a competitive edge tothose who have invested the skill points in master merchant -
Just as a merchant obtains the skill to register their vendor(s) on the planetary map at advertising 3, the master merchant box should give the merchant the ability to register their vendor(s) on the galaxywide bazaar. Instead of the enitre contents of all vendors just filling up page after page under any given tab (eg armor), when a customer clicks on the armor tab, all the vendors registered under this tab appear in a list in the bazaar option. From there the customer can then click on each individual vendor name and an entire list of all the items for sale on that particular vendor becomes available.
This system would be much more user friendly as at the moment one is forced to naviagte through thousands and thousands of disorganised items in order to find what it is that they are after. Furthermore, it also provides a viable incentive for going master merchant.
I also think it would be good if customers could purchase items off of registered vendors from the bazaar where they might have to pay some kind of brokerage fee (eg 10 or 15%), however, I am not sure if this option is remotely possible or not.

I think this would be a great idea 10-15% is on the high side though: think about buying a 100k stack of unobtanium copper @20cpu 2mil*10%= too much. I think a flat fee or a gated fee based on the price of the item would be more in order, it would serve to do SOEs self-appointed job of removing more cash from the ecconomy too.
