Can't Sell at Market or Dumpster Dive

I am having the same issue with the market in my neighborhood. The townies claimed all the tables on the first day I went and the game will not let my Sim clear the table. Therefore, he is unable to sell his items in the market.

You have to wait a bit for the dumpsters to fill up before you can use them. I took to using the dumpsters around my neighborhood as opposed to the one on the community space because there weren't always townies dumpster diving in them. Every time you leave to go to a different lot it seems that the timer resets on the dumpsters and you need to wait for them to refill again. I also took to chatting to whichever townie was dumpster diving so that they would stop then cancelling the interaction so my Sim could use the dumpster.

Hope that makes sense.

I had the same issue with the flea market tables way back in CL. I had to start carrying one in my Sim's inventory and place them around town in common spaces so my Sim could sell stuff. I think this must work the same way. The best place was in an area across from my Sim's house, no one ever used that one but her since she bought it to sell stuff.

I found a solution. You have to carry your own sale table. Place it in the market and then you would be able to transfer your goods to the table, otherwise you cannot sell produce.

I think the dumpster diving needs tuning (I’d take a mod too), but I think it should be tied to traits. I have my wealthy Sims from the penthouse dumpster diving on community lots when I’m playing other households. I think if they kept it to only Sims that have some of the new eco traits (plus slobs), then the problem of it being used all the time (as OP stated) would be reduced. I think it would also fill faster if other Sims were using it more to throw out stuff, instead of diving into it.

I did try that and as soon as I placed it, someone took it. I hope they tweak this a bit. Maybe they should allow your Sim more time to claim a table first then the others can fill up or something.

I did and someone stole my table before I could put my stuff on it.

I never had that issue so I wouldn't know how to fix it!

apparently you can only sell items made new with this expansion in that table?

Then shift click on the sim who used the table => "reset sim", then "clear table" and quickly use the table.

I am unable to put any items onto the tables in the marketplace even when the tables are not occupied. If you can only sell items from the Eco lifestyle that you craft on the new table, that might be the problem? I can't even sell the dyes I've found. The inventory won't accept anything.

Even if I put the tables from City Living on the lot, I can't put any items on those, either. I was thinking we could also sell items we garden or find, but I guess not. If not, that would be a real disappointment. Could it be marketplace is only for fabricated items? If so, I guess we need to put fabricators on the market lots for Sims that can't afford them at home?

On the same save I was able to sell at the Flee Market but not on the marketplace lot, or community lot before it became a market.
