When you're looking at the Current Listings in the Market, there's little indication of which listings are your own. You either have to look at the seller, or notice the lack of the "Buy" button.

I personally find this somewhat confusing at times - it would be helpful if there were a clearer demarcation between your listings and ones you might actually buy. A different color, perhaps.

My second suggestion is to list the time each listing was posted. This would be quite valuable to judge the state of the market, as you could distinguish "lots of listings because there's a lot going on" from "lots of listings because nobody wants to buy."

I do like your second suggestion, it'll make it easier to follow market trends, which is important when you can't be online all the time.

Now about your first suggestion, there's a little link just below the total price and list fee fields named "My Listings". There you can see all your selling options.

Still, I agree that, if you could color your offers at the market, it would be easier to compare prices. But there's another mechanism there in which lower prices are always on top, so if you don't see your name on the upper part of the list, it's because someone's beat your own.

Yes, I'm aware of that. My concern is that "Current Listings" is confusing, regardless of where else the information is.
