Actually I agree with you, but these suggestions are irrelevant when hundreds of shopping trips on the trade center automatically show "sold" for every item displayed -- no matter the type or the quantity. What I have learned to do is to select any item and hope the seller has other items listed, possibly including the one I want. This works SOME of the time and is still very time consuming but better than the frustration of having no option to buy the item you want.
You would think that with hundreds of players having.so many problems with it EA would have made the changes by now! I am sure thousands have quit and many more will if this is
not improved -- first with the basic trade center, then with healthy suggestions such as yours.
