Global Trade Market...questions...concerns...complants!!!

The problems I have with it....

1. It is constantly crashing and sending me back to home screen.

2. Every item I want to buy it sold before I FINALLY get to it! 

3. The loading time and travel times are crazy long, even on high speed! 

I agree with a lot of players....have a different system....

A search by item....

A search by price...

Why travel to another city to buy? It takes too long! Add a buy button to buy when in the market! 

Sometimes I experience that I can not scroll horizontally through the items in the trade center immediately.

Then it often happens that I am sent to a neighbour city without intending to do so.

It seems that you can avoid this unwanted journey if you keep in touch with the screen untill you can scroll through the items. 

If you have problems doing this, I would advice to produce a tube of glue in advance. :-)

Awesome game soured by a poorly implemented, or at the very least untested global trade market.

Click. Wait. Not listed.

or

Click. Wait. Buy. No longer available.

or

Click. wait. Buy item. Item not available but coins deducted !

And if these items are flying off the shelves so fat, how come my own seem not to? 

Entirely frustrating and a waste of game time.

And implement a search please. I am buying specific items. I am not going to randomly buy any donuts.

Thank you

As a player of SimCity BuildIt;

I would like to filter items available for sale in the Global HQ so that I can find only the items I would like to purchase rather than a random assortment of items.

I would like to purchase items directly from the Global HQ so that I do not have to go to another user's city unless I want to after I purchase an item.

I would like the inventory to provide live updates so I see only items that are currently available so that I am not wasting time trying to purchase items that are no longer available.

I would like to be able to edit the number of items I am selling in the Global HQ so that I can add or remove ites to the list that are currently listed for sale.

I would like to sort items available for sale according to price so that I can find the cheapest options available.

I would like to sort by the number of same items for sale so that I can easily purchase X number of items in one transaction.

I have placed a few items in the Trade Depot to sell at very low prices, they have been there for about 12 hours, in the past they have always sold at the same prices within a few minutes.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Also, if i have too many items and my storage is almost full and i can't sell them because my Trade Depot does not work, how do i get rid of items that i no longer have a use for?

Thanks for any input.

This has happened to me as well. When I put things up for sale, I do not advertise all the items...I will save one to go back to advertise later and I try to leave one open slot to use later. It has taken me up to 24 hours to sell things at a LOW price. Its just the way it works...it really needs some improvements!! 

I have just timed how long it takes from selecting a product I want to buy up 'til the moment when I reach the trade depot and the item is either available or it's already sold : 10,3 seconds on my Nexus 7 with excellent internet connection. 

This does not include loading the global Tade HQ and searching for the item, neither does it include traveling back to my city and entering the HQ again. 

I also ran another test where I wanted to buy bricks (any amount, any price). I quit after exactly ten minutes of constantly refreshing the Trade HQ and searching for bricks. During those ten minutes, I visited 5 cities (the only 5 selling bricks out of numerous HQ refreshs), but I was always too late. 
This just demonstrates how useless the trade center is. 

I hope EA addresses the elephant in the room and will announce a trade center update very soon!
