Scrap the marketplace system please

Some sellers are just not privy to the bulk sellers markets and don't realise they are shooting themselves in the foot by trying to undercut a person who is selling 99 at 500g with 10 at 300g.

Going to sell small stacks, price them higher than those selling big stacks.

That's what I do, I put larger numbers at a lower price than the lower numbers. It's the old "buying in bulk" mentality. You want to save a few gil? Buy 100 of them. I find that if I put smaller numbers together, I can get a better price. Let's take Karakka root for example. A lot people might have sets of 50 or more on the board for 2500. I can charge more and sell them in packs of 5, because the initial cost is lower (though the per root price is higher) and people can buy what they need at the moment. Most people are buying for their own chocobo, so 50 @ 2500 becomes 125,000 where 5 @ 2750 becomes 13,750, a number people don't mind parting with. Works, I sell everything every day. I do this with Carbonized Material and soil as well. I don't ever have any left overs the following day. Yes, I have to employ all 20 slots of 4 retainers, but it works.

We need to bring back the Market Wards, buy orders and sell orders through Retainers, and all that other wonderful market-based stuff that used to be.
