This is a list of issues/concerns I've both read about and experienced myself.
1) Searching (Feature Request)
When you search for something and go to another category, the "search_for" query string value should be removed. Or, you should provide a way for the user to clear the search, or persist the query string value in the search_for text box allowing for people to clear it out and run an empty search which accomplishes the same effect. Not all users are tech/web savvy, so you can't expect them to know to look in the URL and delete from the ampersand to the end of their search term.
2) Item Grouping (Feature Request)
When you display items, items with the same name, attributes, cost and owner should be grouped together. When you click "Buy" a flyout should pop up and you should be able to enter a quantity and click "Buy."
Example: I have 10 Brutality potions I want to sell for 2 points per potion. I put them all up on the treasury. Currently, all 10 take up one row individually consuming a lot of screen real estate and making it more of a hassle to players not looking for my potions. Placing all these on one line will address two issues: 1) display space and 2) user annoyance for those either not looking to purchase from me or those looking for other items entirely.
They display would be something as simple as this:
Rarity | Level | Seller | Quantity | Cost
Brutality Potion | 10 | me :) | 10 | 2.00 |
3) [b]Pants/Orbs (Feature Request)
When you search under the Gear > Legs, Specialty > Skill Orbs, Specialty > Augments and (maybe) Specialty > Crew Stones categories, it should search also within the contents of each item instead of just the name of the item. It is not useful to go to the Skill Orbs category and search for "Skill Orb." If you go there and search for "forcefield" now, you will not get any results.
4) Display Vendor Items (Feature Request)
With the myriad of items in the treasury, it is a hassle to get to Vendor-only items. Adding a button or link that filters out player owned items for the current category would address this.
5) Search by Price Range (Feature Request)
Allow players to search by a minimum/maximum price range. Right now I have 40 points left and it would help a lot time wise if I could search for items between the cost of 30.00 points to 40.00 points.
