It would be great for you to make a window/screen, like the contract screen, for us to advertise our products, because only way right now is to make a contract and cost money to make it so other people can see what we have for sale/trade. Secondly, as well if we do sell order, we have to pay money, and it might not sell, so wasted funds.

I think the screen would help, it would work with search, just as the contract screen, but no contract will show up, only the products/stuff that a person puts they want to sell/trade, with information they may type/a note, that tells if it is for sale/trade/any thoughts like sell price is negotiable etc., to potential buyers/fellow traders.

This would avoid wasting money every time to make a contract/remake a contract if the product did not sell and/or when using the the sell order in stations.

so you want the contract system, only for free.

contract and market fees are fairly minor, yes they can add up, which is why tax havens are nice.
but if the 1000 or so isk for a contract is destroying your profit margin, you need to get better at the market game.

These services are supposed to cost money, they're some of the major ISK sinks in the game keeping the economy healthy. If you put something up and it doesn't sell then that's on you, you can adjust your order if someone undercuts your price, but that requires time and effort on your part.

In short you're asking CCP to replace or remove something that isn't only completely intentional but necessary to the economic health of the game.

If you have something valuable to sell there's a forum for that.

If you want to sell stuff quickly with no risk of them not selling there are other people's buy orders for that.

You don't need to say "to the developers". That's literally the point of this section of the forums.

As already mentioned, you can always use sell orders on the forums to sell high value or interesting items. Likewise, you can use the bulk trade and wholesale trade mailing lists to sell lots of stuff at once.

If you just want to sell small amounts of low value items? Just throw them on the market. The fees are tiny in such an instance.
