I have a whole bunch of oversized 8th & 9th toppers and promos, Phyrexian Arena for example. So many people added the oversized one, to a trade thinking it was a normal one. I pointed out it was an oversized promo, trade cancelled. I had to take it off. It clearly says "Oversized" in the text when adding the card, but still people don't seem to pay attention.
All oversized cards should have a different symbol from other promos. Somethings as simple as a different colour then the standard red symbol for promos.

Adding the feature to automatically change the price for the condition is an excellent feature.

1. Other change I would like to see added is if the set symbol, grade or language is missing from the card, that price is not added to the trade value.
There are a few users out there that don't use these same of these details, and they should need to. And most times it's talked about in the chat.
It always feels like the grade is going to be poor, or the wrong set or language.
2. I would also like a more detail information about how to grade the cards. Star City games has the most details on how to grade cards at
https://help.starcitygames.com/card-conditions-grading
Complete with pictures for many situations. But none for Lightly Played (LP) category.
3. If a cards version is foil only like O-Kagachi, Vengeful Kami from Commander 2017 for example, it should automatically be added as foil, not changeable.
Tatyova, Steward of Tides comes in x3 versions in Dominaria United, unless you have the card telling the different between the Textured Foil or Showcase can be easily mixed up.

I think, When using the "Trading Opportunities" one of the sort categories is "User Last Logged In" The most you could relax is "Last 3 Months" So if they have not log in the last 3 months, I think it just ignores them from the trading pool.

I agree a bit with the potential trades numbers, Most of the bulk cards is just ignored in the trade engine. I think it starts around .25ish. I'm not really sure exactly where it starts. I think a better way to do this is to let every user set the minimum level what it wants to ignore individual. This would work better for me too collecting sets. It's on your wish list why is some of the stuff getting ignored?

When you add a card in a trade you have in your inventory, but not listed for trade the (# for trade) box lights up pink/red. My idea is when you have a card in multiple trades, I would like the (# for trade) light up a different color. Maybe yellow or violet. Keeping track of multiple trades can be hard for both cards trading to and from you. I had a card with plans to trade it to one user and forgot I had it in a trade, and traded it to someone else. sad

I think this is a great idea from FastTadpole. I think this gives the best of both ways, which ever you want yourself. But if you do want to be an auto-seller, you should not be able to just cancel an order without consequents.

Nothing worse than having to negotiate with a seller for the listed price. I feel it would destroy DeckBox as a sales platform if people couldn't just load up a cart and buy straight away in real time. Sometimes a lot of time is put into finding the best prices on a lot and it's a real slap in the face when the order can't be fulfilled as listed. I've got a feel for some sellers and know what to expect from some those sellers and reading profiles goes a long way but it isn't as streamlined as it could be.

Nothing worse for a casual seller or one juggling their entire stock over multiple platforms or to have someone snipe a playset of a card that just spiked 900% if the seller doesn't or can't check prices often enough; feels like theft sometimes when the only card a buyer gets from the seller and it's tops on the list of MTG GFish's Mover's and Shakers. Auto pricing is a bit of a mess because the name parsing likely omits a goodly portion of cards, doesn't account for conditions and there is some lag with getting a TCG price into DeckBox - it really takes a feel and a deep knowledge and all the new variants are making prices a tad obfuscated.

Solution
Toggle a switch for sellers and clearly indicate with an icon or a column on the marketplace / card listing page indicating what type of seller they/we are.

A) A real time seller that sells as priced tagged as is all the time every time.
OR
B) A discuss before you buy/check with me first type of seller.

You could even implement a toggle when searching for cards to filter sellers based on their seller type (A or B) to search the marketplace for buyers.

I'm a buyer, seller and trader. Lovin' the churn. In the here and now I'd fall into the A) seller slot but it would be super sweet to flip a toggle to convert to a B) seller to force a discussion like a trade workflow --- as an option when life gets busy or I'm wheeling cards at my LGS rather than have to go to full vacation mode and close up shop.

I'm not a buyer or seller on here. I have read in some user profiles serving the right to cancel and order because of spikes. It's also possible inventory is not 100% correct, and a card is already gone, or now a different grade and there inventory was not updated. I think most users would well come that change. It would solve problems, before they become problems.
