It should all be in game just like the credit trading system, just have an olive tab....

I´m disagree with you shorty
I prefer to continue to trade via www, this is much more comfortable

sounds good.. maybe some sailors will pop up on the over priced trade board then lol..

But as a suggestion to working out tweeks and such.
There should be a CANCEL option..

As an example of why: When I first messed around on the olive trade board, I accedently bought a sailor due to the lack of experiance, and the lack of a guide. I did not want the sailor, and sought a way of canceling it.
I attempted to put 50 sailors out so the GMS couldnt place the sailor and would cancel the trade, but they placed it anyways and drove it to 51 sailors in wait. So I was stuck with a sailor I didn't want... Now I sold it back on the board for a similar price to what I got it for, But there should be a way to cancel so that doesnt happen.
------------------------------------------

If the system where to be made into an automatic movement, there should be a window of time to cancel the trade. Now if the trade where to be canceled, the offer should go back to normal. The seller's offer should not be canceled just because the player buying it canceled the trade.

This would be an example of what would happen if the buyer canceled the trade.(in stemps listed with #):
1: Some one chooses to buy something. 2: The confermation notice is sent to both players. 3: the buyer cancels the trade. 4: A message is sent to both conferming a cancel. 5: The seller's trade should then be moved from pending status back to selling status.
-----------------------------------------

Also, I would suggest actually putting a guide about how to use the olive trade board (as the first topic on the olive board), and what happens when you make a trade. This should also explain the cancelations, what the total's mean, what happens if it expires, how the trade process works, and so on...
------------------------------------------
I would also suggest lowering the minumum sell price. Because if you have an elite level 12 classed into a nation, you have to bundle it with more than one sailor, because the 1 elite is not worth 100 olives. It's in-fact 80 olives in the store. So the minumum should be about 30 olives or so. Or at the vary least, the minumum should be about 50 olives.

I hope these tree suggestions of mine are actually thought about, and applied during the re-working of the premium trade system :)

bump! to be in top again

two days left, for premium trade.

The date has come and gone, and from the OP the way I understand it is that you could post a new trade offer before last night's deadline, however you guys were going to allow them to "run their course".

Doesn't run their course mean that we could still purchase them?

If not, then you should have been more clear, and if that is what you meant then when is the maintenance going to be over so we can purchase the trades that have to "Run their course"?
