OFFICIAL Problems with Buying/Selling Trading

My first question is that on my Farmer Squeak account, I'm supposed to sell at a Super Facility Trading Marketplace. I know I can't use that one because I don't have any Super Facilities in that account, but if I did, I assume I'd - what - would I have to start the Super Facilities products in my Trading Warehouse and then go to the Trading Marketplace to try to sell them?

Second question is that Farmer Squeak ALSO has one to sell products (regular, I guess) in my Trading Warehouse. I thought I MIGHT be able to start those. But when I open my Trading Warehouse, I only see options for selling super facility products to neighbors or sell super facility products at the Trading Market place. How would I start a thing so I can sell regular products to neighbors who visit my warehouse?

Thanks!

Hi Susan,
For your first question, yes you would have to start/update a super facility. And load it in your facility manager to get some products for it.However the text in the explanation when you hover over it is to sell directly to someone so you would not put them in your trading warehouse as those would not count. You need to pay attention to the text when you hover over the goal.


For the second question, those would also have to be super facility products and in this case they need to be added to your trading warehouse. You can not sell regular products through the trading warehouse. You would add them to both parts for strangers and your neighbors to be able to buy. You need to be at the trading market for the strangers to be able to buy from you. As this one is a seasonal goal it may take you a few days to complete it.

So I would start/update a super facility. I get that. Then - not sure what you mean by loading it into the facility manager? Do you mean the Trading Warehouse? I got what you said about the Trading Warehouse ONLY being used for Super Facility products, but is it also true that I can't sell those products at the Trading Marketplace? How would the person I'm selling to realize it's a Trade as opposed to just a regular Sell at the Marketplace?

Hi Susan,
You have to start products in the facility of that type through you facility manager to be able to get products in the super facility manager. Then you can add those to your trading warehouse. This is all explained in the Game Guide chapter 13:

Trade is a generic term for buy or sell. The goal tells you which you have to do and how it has to be done.

Susan you have to open your Super facility (in your toolbox under the green Trading Warehouse building on the left side) and click the facility at the top left of the window that pops up .. that will show you what products you will have available to add to your trading warehouse, once you've started your facs and services in the facility manager, you then go to the trading warehouse to add the super facilities products for that specific facility, 1 tab is for your neighbors and 1 is for selling at the trading market place and the other tab is for buying basic ingredients from your neighbors. once you add the products to the trading warehouse, go to the trading market place and players there will be able to buy those items directly from your trading warehouse, if you have to sell a product directly to a farmer then click on an avatar and scroll down the menu and click the sell directly link then chose whatever you need to sell, the amount you want to sell and for how much over /under market price, at market price or free, then click the green check and the avatar will get a buy request on their screen.

So in Farm Pass 2 there are tasks related to Trading Warehouses and Super Facilities. I do not use either of those features and don't intend to. When looking through my 100 neighbors, 6 at most has active warehouse items for sale. My question is how frequent will these features be part of Farm Pass 2? I may skip it all together. TY

Hi Auntie Al,
The goals are chosen randomly so you will have just as many chances to get one of those as you will any of the other goals.

i have a problem on this account but also several of my others
when i go to trade marketplace and try to sell something to an avatar and that avatar says cannot buy more for x amount of time,,,, every avatar i then click on after that has the exact same message,,, refreshing game doesn't get rid of message and neither does memcache,,, i just have to wait it out and try again later ....... there no way that many players have to wait the exact same amount of time before they can buy again

Hi JNelson,
I tried and can not duplicate this.

I had another thread going where Taz had replied that I must have missed the update for midnight Monday. I can't find that post to reply directly so am hoping I can ask here. It's only 11 am Monday my time. So does that mean I can start a sell thing with my new Turbo Spice facility after midnight tonight?
