I'm sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong section, if a dev or moderator feels that another forum will be better feel free to move it.
Now, my question is how come we cannot sell loot on the market? We have escrow that allows us to do this very thing. Why not just modify the market to allow loot to be sold? It doesnÆt even have to show up on the normal browse, just search.
Now onto escrow, when I'm trying to look for a certain item on escrow, if someone has 100+ things of crap they are trying to sell, a lot of other items are going to be blocked out unless I go to another station or region. Why not replace the global view of every item with a search, and you simply just type whatever youÆre looking for? This way, clients donÆt need to download the items all the time, and you would effectively be able to see escrows from across the universe, because it will only showing you what youÆre interested in.
Of course, this could be totally avoided if we could sell loot on the market, which I still do not understand why itÆs not allowed.
If escrow is to be fixed, a nice option would be to not show the escrows of players that you blocked (could be optional too). This way when you open the escrow window you have a way to remove the 10000000+ scams some moron is spamming the list with.
Just a few suggestions.

Think about it. You know how long it takes to load the market? Well there are maybe 6 mods to each type of item out there. Your market will take 4x as long to load, and 4x longer to find the bit you want. It would be a royal pain and theres just too many items. I like it better this way.

I know it can take ages for the market to load  .

Yes but problem is how to sell loot? If we can't use escrow or regular market, then what we will do? Yell on trade channel then I find usually that if I have to sell around 200 modules I can't advertise them all on trade channel without owning and mass spamming that channel?
As it is now there are a couple mayor problems with trade channel and selling loot:
1st distance buyer and seller are often too far to make deal (no one want fly for one gun over 40 jumps)
2nd time frame I can't yell 23h/7d on trade channel
3rd I can't be on trade channel everyday and thus it's ineffective
Game need effective way how to sell even named modules/guns/mods. Game is so big. Player base is really huge we live in one universe so it's necessary have effective way for marketing.
It not need to be like is current market, but need to be searchable may even pay service from game. Like when I want sell named module I will be charged and when customer want to search for module he should be charged based on how wide is his search.
Something similar. I think as is market now is bugged because it's only region wide and 75% modules can't be buy/sold thru it.

Make a global market...
but only for loot. No regular mods. How about that?

Your ideas would improve the situation very much, Voogru, and I see no downside. The market would not take longer to load since those items would only appear in search and not in the list.
Especially the global escrow search option would be a blessing. Too bad CCP doesn't seem to like search options very much. *cough* forums *cough* |

Not a bad idea for an interim step. Personally, I would like to see an EveBay complete with auctions and shops. If we could also introduce feedback even better, though this is not really necessary.

to further add to that idea, maybe just have the normal market with the ablity to enable named items in the search bar (or navigation bar which lags more) but also be an option to disable the normal basic, T1, T2 items. Then it'd also just be the players that add stuff to the market, not npc's.
how does that sound

I would prefer a "Wide Area Trading"-skill. ;) I.E. at lvl1 you see the prices from the region you are currently in + one region thats directly connected to this region. At Lvl2 current + 2 directly connceted Regions...etc. pp.
