A while ago i sold many items on my market, but now everything i anounce always gets stuck so i can't sell anything anymore.

The problem I'm facing is that the trade depot doesnt seem to work at times or maybe doesn't work anymore.It worked perfectly well at the beginning and I was selling everything I put in the depot at a fixed price. And since a message telling me there was a maintenance the problems started.After the end of the maintenance and while I'm always keeping the same low selling price, I couldn't sell anything for a very long period of time.Then what I did is that I deleted an item I'm selling in the depot with 1 SimCash and then put another one, that triggered the market and I sold everything that has been listed for a long time in minutes. It's really weird, it's as if my items weren't listed in the Trade HQ, but they were there for very long hours and they were all advertised.So yesterday I couldn't sell any item the whole evening, I removed an item during the night and sold everything in minutes ! In the morning it worked fine, I was selling the items very quickly, and then all of a sudden the problem started again and I couldn't sell anything (always using the same fixed low prices, or lowering the prices even more to an absurd amount (1 coin) for very expensive items).So I tried again today what I did last night, losing 1 SimCash to delete an item and then adding another one but this time it didn't work. Still nothing sold for the whole day.This is really annoying. Anyone facing this? Any solution?Do you think that there is a maximal amount for coins earnings through the depot per day?Is there any developer that can read our messages at least ?I was waiting for SimCity on iOS for a very very long time. I really want this to be fixed or at least have an explanation.

Hi wereldhandel,Where is this auction house? Is it the Global Trade HQ.

Same problem here. If not solves soon, I'll stop playing ,this is no fun playing without sales, not able to expand my city properly.

Well I solved it by another friend opend acc. and bought my stuff, and I bought it back. Then I droped have full shop. And insted have 70% of all slots full. It solved some of my issues by this whay. Not sure whay this help, or maby the game just glitch/ stuck on some whay If we fill the shop to much...

Have the same problem for a couple of days now. With almost 20k in value at the market, I am not too comfortable in just removing the items from the market. I tried removing one of the items and it did not solve the problem. Buying something on the global market also did not solve it...

I was just as frustrated as you all were. For now, things have been selling for me. List items at a good price. Do not advertise them all. Post a sapling for like $299-399 and advertise that. When I do that all my good prices inventory is bought.

Just do not advertise everything. You only need one or two advertised to get the people in the door.

I will keep reading this thread and will respond if anything changes.

My name is Mark, I'm 38 and addicted to this game.

I don't see any advantage not to advertise everything. More advertising means more people coming to your store since not everyone might be interessted in what you advertised, but they might be in stuff you didn't.
Anyway, just be patient, they will get sold eventually.

I've tried everything. Several times. I've had 15 slots for a while, so I've settled for just not putting anything on sale except batches of 10 high value items. These take a bit of time to get, so by the time I've filled all my slots, Daniel has started to empty some. It's not ideal, but the trade system (both buying and selling) is a complete joke, so there's little real alternative right now. Not even trading between friends... as most of the time the items don't even show up then, either.

might sound odd, but i think things started when i started trying to sell the new disaster items.. (glove, battery, remote) after that nothing else sold.. i removed those items an suddenly everything got sold in minutes again..
ive just put som disaster stuff in the que to be sold, and everything seems to stop again and the other items dont get sold..

is this just me?! or do you guys notice the same?

On the topic of not advertising everything, consider this; if you advertise everything right away, you run out of attempts to put your shop in the public eye. If things are moving slowly, consider spacing your "advertise" attempts out every twenty minutes or so. There is currently a glitch in the system that causes items to simply not be sold. The only ways I've seen to fix the glitch is to either add another slot, or spend simcash and forfeit the item. If you keep a few items not advertised, you at least have a glimmer of hope in the market working at that very moment, and you'll be seen and visited. Just a theory, of course, but as of yet EA has yet to chime in on this thread, so for now I'm calling it the truth.

If EA means to do this to push us spending our simcash, I think there is no point to continue to play this game, because it is an awful design.

I also having the same problem, been 3 days my market trade never sold even I am sure all stuffs sale at very low price. I tried 2 times to emptying my bix by losing $2 but still the same result. None of my selling stuffs sold. Perhaps this issue can be an attention for the builder of this game.

I have had to stop playing the game, it's gone from all market items selling in seconds to nothing sells at all. After a day or two of nothing selling game is locked up. It's never worked well it's impossible to buy anything from trade shop either always says items have sold. It's a shame as it was a good game but with two major parts of the game not working and no fix appearing on the horrizon, I will have to leave this game alone for now! Good luck with it hope someone tries to fix it soon, none of the other games I play are this bad.
