Another answer has an additional answers. First, making goods in the ”traditional” way, like you are, sucks. Lots of time consumed leading to your difficulties. Like everyone said, only Friends, guildies and your neighborhood can see your listing. If everyone had to make goods traditionally and had to post to get the additional goods from their age, it would be busy and easy. But many strive to make goods via GBs and/or event buildings. That’s why you most frequently see big, bulk offers, but very little “small change”. Research and follow some methods to make goods without so much effort (event building, GBs) and you can enjoy the game at a higher level. Second, learn to hustle in several ways. Better friends and guild, if half of those people aren’t active, you have half the access. Pester people via mass messages. I just title the message “stymie the merchant” or something snappy, and plop out a limited amount of deals. Then follow up with more when they’re gone, too many can be overwhelming or a nuisance. And don’t forget currency, FPs specifically. Pay a big kid well (ask for one’s attention in Global chat), you can get a dream’s amount of dream goods. Purchase a higher or much higher age of goods and trade down. Not enough FPs to buy goods (100,200,300+ FPs)? Politely snipe everything not nailed down, duh.
