My items don't show up on the Exchange

Exactly what the thread says. Yesterday, after noticing Radiogenic Particle prices were back up, I placed 10 of them on sale in the Exchange. Like I usually do, I checked the prices again to make sure I wasn't being undercut by a huge amount, and I did not see any of my Radiogenics on the Exchange.

I figured it was lag, went and played an STF, came back and my items still weren't showing up.

I switched to my other toon, played a while, searched the Exchange again, and my items still weren't showing up in the Exchange.

Today, I logged in, and saw my items were still listed among my items for sale, but they are still not showing up in the Exchange.

(I know for sure because I listed them at 169,995 each and each time I searched the Exchange, there were no Radiogenics listed at that price despite the fact that the Exchange clearly showed them on my "sell" tab.)

This is NOT the first time this has happened to me. Does anyone know what's going on? Did Cryptic introduce some new cash-sink where you have to buy an "upgrade" for 500 Zen so your stuff will show up on the Exchange? Has anyone else has this problem?

    Forgive me if this is obvious to you, but I have found that if I list items on the exchange and then later search for them under the ALL category, not all the items currently available for sale by that name appear.

    Were you by any odd chance searching with the ALL category selected by default? If so, try again in the specific category (is it called "R&D Materials"?) and see if they show up there.

    This caught me up until I figured it out and confirmed it with others.

    Thanks for the suggestion, but nope, they weren't showing up at all. I'm aware of the quirks of the Exchange system, and if they haven't been addressed in five years, they never will be.

    But anyway, my suspicions weren't only confirmed by my searches -- I saw Radiogenic Particles priced higher than mine that were selling, so my items weren't seen by other buyers either.

    Between this, and the lag issues, and the fact that the anniversary giveaways happened when the game was near-unplayable, I'm really not happy with this game right now.

    Yeah it sounds like good old fashioned submission lag, and you're right its one of the age old issues that's plagued the exchange.
