I have been in your position. I had about 4 million Gil. Spent all but my last 25K on my crafters (master book components, materia and such).
I took half that money and crafted a bunch of low cost / in demand / high profit items. For me, that was i28 and i38 jewellery. Each item costed me about 300 Gil to make and sold for approximately 12K on average. Within about a week, I was back up nearly a 1 million Gil again. I have done this for jewellery, other low leveling gear and Glamour Prisms.
If you keep your retainers full of stuff to sell and adjust prices at least twice per day of play (logon and before log-off), you will do just fine and join the rest of us with reasonably fat wallets.

Oh, I've never honestly cared much about gil. I mean, it's nice and all but it's not a main thing I play for. If I have enough to teleport than I'm happy. ^_^ It's never come to the point that I can't afford teleports so it's not an issue to me. LOL

Because of this system in place, I have decided to stop making items from every class. Tired of being stuck with 80 uraeus leather, or 20 silver ingots, or 14 woolen cloth... it just goes on and on. All the materials im carrying have value, im not just hoarding all the bat wings and bone chips. Two retainers cannot handle it, especially if half of 1 retainer is already holding various pieces of glamour that I like, for example all the primal weapons or my pvp animal armor set.

Instead I decided that my only option for someone that doesnt have 8 retainers is to deal with only 1 class. I picked armorer (and blacksmith). Specialization came out and well, maybe this was intended all along. For everyone to be able to do everything, but realistically, do 1 thing.

I like folks that sell 99 stacks because it gives me my market for smaller bundles...

There isn't really any need to hold onto materials that you aren't actively using in crafts even if they have value. In my case, I don't have any need for uraeus leather, silver ingots, or woolen cloth so I'd simply sell or discard them. If I ever need to use those materials in the future, I can easily buy the materials then (I usually just use what I need and then resell the rest).

Similarly, there's absolutely no need to go gather every material you use for your crafts even when leveling. It's really a simple process of raising the gil to buy the materials you need and you don't have to even do a lot of work. For example, crystals are in constant demand and with aetherial reduction, it's possible to get up to 1000 crystals within 15 min. All you'd need to do is then sell them and buy your required materials. You can also craft and sell HQ items as you're leveling your class.

Your hundreds of likes on this OP make me glad that this cannot happen, because no matter how many likes you get, it should not.

Youre missing the point. I cant sell them fast enough, because I only have 40 slots to sell in. Not sure if you read the post fully.

Ill state it again: the issue is I need either a) more then 40 slots to sell items or b) the ability to sell parts from the stack to give me the ability to have more types of items up on the MB
Im not accepting the canned response that I should "buy more retainers to sell more items". I have a subscription.

Im not asking for more retainer space. I simply want my right to sell items to people in the desired amount that they want.

Side note: Ive tried selling items through partyfinder, doesnt work. Ive offered to exchange hq versions of the crafted material at no charge, for the equivalent amount of raw material, or just simply craft what they want by handing me their nq stuff for hq finished product. Ive shouted this in multiple towns for hours on several occasions. Know what the response was? Nothing. Absolutly nothing at all. Had one person trying to scam me.
