See the item listed, try to buy it and I get something like "an unexpected error has occurred" or something along those lines.

Can you provide a screenshot? Also, does that occur every time you try to buy something?

I think the owner of the tradepost has to give you rights/permission to access/use it. Not sure though, i'm just assuming so.

I don't know if this effects everyone or just a few, but it is a very real issue. If you would like to fully understand the extend of this I encourage you to contact me privately. Even better I suggest having your lead programmer contact me as this is either a small UI error where text boxes are not showing up for people because of a layer (sorting) issue, or even a bigger problem. Either way this needs to be handled.

It is interesting to know is there any plans/discussions regarding such features?

That already exists. Place a work order on the trade forum with what you are looking for and what you are offering in exchange and see if a guild is willing to do business with you. The trading post itself is a nice feature, but direct commerce will always be the best way to move large quantities of materials.
SoilWorm wrote:Yes, but that is not the same at all. And I am talking more about small but numerous orders from/for small groups.
The problem with placing/searching possible trade contracts on forum is that there contracts are represented in free (not standartized) form (often can miss information about quantity, quality, location, time etc.) and in many many topics. So it would take a lot of time to browse all these topics.
Then, if you found suitable contract you have to contact another part and organize an appointment/delivery. Again, on forum what means more time spent. That all makes this approach really slow and ineffective.
What I want as a manufacturer/seller is to see a united list of demand: what, how many, where, for what price I can sell. Preferably in-game. This is a main idea.
As additional feature, I could be able to 'accept' an order that would (another feature:) give me a certain time to fulfill a contract. And if I don't (another feature) I lose some money or aligment. And so on...
I think that absence of picture of demand on the market makes the whole trade posts functionality work not on its full potential. And implementation of such features could bring it on a new level.
