After running around my storage, I got the idea to start selling building blocks that I have extra of now that my build is mostly finished. I don't think that the current expiration time on the market is reasonable especially for low-priced items.
My suggestion is to increase the base expiration time and decrease this time as an item becomes more expensive. This is to prevent using the market as a safe deposit for items although I think most towns now are safe enough for this to not be a huge issue.
Building materials going for 4-8 shards a block is a reasonable price for the more exotic/expensive blocks and typically aren't the quickest to fly off the shelves when priced reasonably. Having the constantly relist a mass amount of blocks is a major pain and an overall hurt for the market economy.
As for escrow, I do not believe there's a "relist" option for expired sales. All duplicates of expired items (ex: 100 stacks of spruce logs) should combine into one slot in the escrow, prompting you to shift-click to relist or left-click to remove from the market and let you choose to drop or raise the price by a shard/percentage amount when in the menu.
TLDR:
Make expensive items (ex: lore swords) expire quickly (prevent secure storage of items)
Make cheap items (ex: building materials and restricted resources) expire slowly (promote the sale of cheap items)
Make Expired sales of the same type stack in escrow to not take up the whole menu.
Add Escrow relist option for expired sales with the option to raise/lower the price before relisting.
