Exchange very broken

ignoring the search for items with rarity rank filters which does not work from at least an year, theres a bigger problem now: items put on sale do not show at all.
I put up some Superior Tech Cannon and Projectile Upgrades and none show in the search list no matter the search criteria.

Are you viewing them from the same character that put them up for sale?
Please give some love to the exchange.
Granted, the lag kicking off the dailies for R&D, specially on my KDF toon is epic. Took me 5 min to kick off the 5.
Funny enough, seeing Tech Upgrades has never been one of my issues. Click its category and filter by very rare. They appear fine.

I have tried putting anything on exchange today and nothing came up at all....
It is strange that doffs that I put up on sale do show-up.
Affirmative.
Decreasing and increasing orders are reversed.
Descending search gives ascending prices and vice-versa.
Tried again after a few hours, it was the same...no items.
I even retrieved them and reposted them with a different character, no change.
Update: the items appeared after almost 1 day. The ones I re-posted at a lower price, again, don't show.
Same thing here. I've put up Starship Upgrade Requisitions (from the 4 pack) and they're listed in my sell items, but don't see them for sale. I've left them on for minutes and even 18 hours once, and taken them down and re-listed a few times, never show up for sale.
And not to go too much off on a rant, but this exchange system is a disaster. It's unreliable, the filters don't work well, there's no way to narrow results enough, it's limited to 400 items, items sometimes show up under the wrong filters, don't show up under all, or only show up under all, the list goes on and on. I've honestly never seen a more dysfunctional exchange on any other MMO. Granted, I've only played big ones like WoW, SWTOR, EvE, Wildstar, etc. But this is pretty bad.
I hate just ranting off with shallow arguments, but the system needs a complete re-write. Games can make or break off the crafting and auction system. If both are good, a thriving economy keeps people coming. If one fails, it can turn a lot of people off. It needs to get fixed, especially now that the crafting system is so improved.
Edit: Gave one to my alt, still no luck in showing up.
EditEdit: Okay, someone pointed out you can see different items (with drastically lower prices) if you select Lt as the rank. And indeed, it would appear the two I put up for a specific price are showing up there, but not under 'any' rank.
This is absurd. 'Any' rank should show items regardless of rank. Come on!
Yep. Noticed when I put an Omni beam array up on the exchange, it's not listed under 'All', even though there are many others listed there. It is listed under ship weapons, however, with different omni beam arrays along with it.
Can we get someone to fix the database software for the exchange please? I know there's lots of bugs to squash with the new expansion, but the exchange has been pretty borked since launch. Some serious focus on getting these major bugs fixed would be appreciated.
Yes, new content makes more money, but people get fed up with silly bugs that prevent them from enjoying the game, and they quit. That loses you money.
I tried to post a Phased Biomatter rifle on the exchange today, set the price, and left it alone for a few hours. When it didn't sell, I pulled the item off, made a new price, and repeated. I checked to see if the rifle posted... both, before I pulled it off the exchange, and right after I re-posted.
Doesn't seem like a lag issue. Items aren't showing up under the "All" tab. They will show up under the specific item listing ("Personal Weapons," for example), but not "All." Not sure if this is the extent of the issue, but this is all I have encountered... in between Mac client crashes, too.
The "All" category has not worked correctly for a very long time. I always search by specific categories whenever possible.
That's been busted for months--long before Delta Rising went live. I wish it would get fixed already.

Something is very broken.
A few days ago I got a notification mail - items returned from exchange...but no items.
Then the items appeared the second day.
The second time this happened, I got again 2 mails about 2 returned items but this time they were never returned...just empty mails.
Please grab all the issues since I know you do workflows for single bugs.
1) R&D items not filtering where they should (they all get bunched up under Lieutenant)
2) Ship upgrade tokens, salvaged tech, crafting bonuses and upgrade bonuses, etc (other newer items) all need to be filtered somewhere.
3) Reversed decrease/increase filters.
4) Posted items not appearing for some players.
5) The lag, which has gotten better because there seem to be less players, but whenever there is a spike in players using the Exchange, it gets pretty bad.
I brought 90 Tech upgrades instead of 1.
Got me broke.
in one case I put a rare ship up at a low price because I just wanted to sell it then I went to bed. when I woke up I was like "huh, wtf?" because it should have sold. I took the ship down and put it back up at the exact same price, it sold almost instantly.
now, I suppose that could have just been coincidence, but I doubt it. it was one of the new rare ships that people watch like hawks
Could be, if so then many of us are having the exact same coincidence. Put up a bunch of mats 10k below current ask. Leave, come back 12 hrs later and the exchange looks exactly the same and my mats are not showing. Put up two more that the same price (left the old ones). Those two sold immediately, the other ten were not touched. Put up another two, bang, gone. The ten from earlier remain unlisted and unsold.
The problem isn't that it's newly busted. The problem is that something this critical for some people (who enjoy crafting and making money, or just playing the market to make money), shouldn't be this badly broken for any serious length of time. Imagine if weapons didn't fire right for a month, let alone years.
As STO gets more popular (and I believe it will!), major faults like this will get tolerated less. A major bug that lasts too long may tick the less hard-core players off enough to get a mass-exodus and turn it into a ghost town (like Wildstar
With STO, we've gotten very complacent with a product that by the devs' own admission at launch wasn't up to the caliber they wanted. We've put up with bugs and glitches everywhere. It's like Windows; people are used to their computers crashing and needing reboots. Just because we're used to it doesn't make it acceptable.
Now that they have the resources, this stuff needs to get fixed. Don't let bugs like this prevent STO from taking off like it should.
