Stop posting so many singles of stackable items on the exchange!!!

It really grinds my gears when I go to buy or sell a stack of something and some jackass has filled the first 6 pages with singles. I mean, really? A few singles is ok but even if someone takes the time to buy all of them, you're still making chump change so stop wasting everyone's time! (including your own...at least post small stacks)
This applies to items that can stack in 100, 250 or more, especially upgrades.
Really, how much ec did you make for the 10 minutes you spent posting that 50 Jevonite one at a time? And don't even get me started on Contraband!
P.S. Off topic but everyone should know the new episode of Rick and Morty was the best episode ever!

You've just given me a great idea.
if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.
I'll stop doing it for 499 million EC.

Single upgrades are more likely to sell faster than bulk because people typically only want to get what they need at the moment.

it's possible, if the system implemented a non-refundable posting fee per item... fixed at 5% of sell price. frankly i think this is needed due to folks using exchange as bank space.
if you want to spam the exchange with a number of items and it ends up costing you, i think most folks would stop.
I can only surmise you have no clue how the exchange works. Frankly claiming posting one item at a time is "wasting everyones time" is kind of funny but sad as a bigger waste of your time was coming onto the forums and blasting everyone in a tantrum. So OP Go Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo Yankee Oscar Uniform Romeo Sierra Echol Lima Foxtrot.
A better solution is reduce the time an item is on the exchange and how many postings per account a day can be made. It's far to late in the games life span to impose a fee like this. If they had placed a fee years ago at the start of STO yes but now it would collapse one of the games major economies.
Not sure I have time to participate in this Forum event.

Not everyone can afford to buy a stack of 999 R&D mats or indeed want to have that many so they're willing to pay a minimal increase for the convenience of buying only as many as needed.
Unrelated but I must take notice of your signature image... holy crossover batman, Sonic the hedgehog coming out of a Stargate with the GDI emblem nearby..
"He shall be my finest warrior, this generic man who was forced upon me.
Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."
Its an OLD forum sig I made for another forum. Nothing related to what I was playing. Need to get a more up to date STO sig, but... I'm being lazy. So I just went with an old personal one.

Yeah, that.
(Also, it's really annoying when I just want two or three Rep Mark or Fleet Credit Boosts, and the first page is all 100+ stacks. So yeah, small stacks are fine.)
Every time. Go ahead with those settings and search Contraband. Tell me how many pages you have to scroll through before you find a stack of more than one.
How many weapons have you ever upgraded? It takes like 50+ upgrades to get a weapon to gold....and I only upgrade on bonus weekends.

If you're going to try to make any kind of real money you're going to need to sell a LOT of items. You really mean to tell me you'd waste the time it takes to sell a stack individually? I wouldn't even waste the time it takes to post that many items individually nevermind waiting for them to sell if they sell at all. And I'm one of the grindiest people in the game.
It takes hundreds of millions to buy anything really worth saving for on the exchange..why nickel and dime?
I'm not against single items but really? Pages and pages before you get to a stack is excessive. And who needs to buy just one Jevonite? What are you gonna do with one Contraband? That single upgrade gonna get your item to the next level? Sure occasionally you want one item. But most of the time, you don't go to the exchange because you're looking to buy one or two of something (stackable items).
In summary:
Every time I have gone to sell contraband in the last few months, the first stack has been so far from the front page that I felt I'd have to sell for a ridiculously low price for my stack to even be seen.
