Massive support on this one. I'd also love to be able to link it to certain groups.
This might be way out-there, but I was thinking about having a group where it's "x:1 swaps" and if you have a hoard you can be like, "I'll x:1 swap any pet in group y for z pet". And so when someone makes an offer of Z Pet for X amount of pets in Group Y, the trade auto-completes.
Let's say I'm hoarding a specific 2023 Common Pet. And so I put a bunch of other 2023 Commons in a group, I could link that group to the GE and say "I'll 1:1 Swap any pet in this group for this 2023 Common"

I'd also love if the GE would Auto-Match trades.
For example, someone says they're looking for a 2020 Rare Dog for their specific 2020 Rare Deer Pet.
If someone puts up a trade for their 2020 Rare Dog and specifically asks for a 2020 Rare Deer, or that 2020 rare deer exactly, then the GE would match those two people together automatically and complete the trade.
And if there were multiple people who had the deer who wanted a dog, then the GE would pick chronologically- the first person who posted that they wanted the dog for the deer, would get the dog.

Another cool thing would be being able to put up C$.
You put up an amount of C$ (rather than a pet) and say "I want this pet, and this is the amount of C$ I am prepared to offer for it."
If somebody puts up that pet for that amount (or less) C$, the GE auto-completes the offer, averages the amount of C$, and returns the extra to you.
I.E. You say you're willing to offer 500 C$ for a pet, someone puts one up for 300 C$, the GE auto-averages the amount of C$ so that you only pay 400 C$ for the pet, paying less than you bargained for, and the person who put the pet up gets 400 C$, getting more than they bargained for out of it. This way, both sides of the trade feel like they got more out of the trade than they initially expected, and walk away happier than they would have been otherwise.
This prevents somebody putting up a pet for C$ and then realizing they could have sold it to someone else for more being too disappointed in their action. They didn't look, and got averaged out. It's fair game, and they did get more than they were looking for initially.
It also prevents somebody who put up a C$ amount for a pet feeling sad or ripped off by the fact they could have gotten it for less if they just looked first. They still paid less than they put up, so it's alright.
The alternative methods of either:
Paying the amount that the person offering the pet put down.
or
Paying the amount that the person offering the C$ put down.
Leaves one person benefitting more than the other. If someone offers 500 C$ and pays 500 C$, but the other person only asked for 300 C$, that's 'ripping off' the person who paid 500 C$ because they only asked for 300.
If it's the other way around, where the person who offered the C$ only pays 300 C$ and gets the other 200 C$ back, it's 'ripping off' the person who put up the pet for the C$.
An averaging method makes it so that nobody is discourged to put up C$ amounts for pets, or pets for C$.
