The effect of an active listing alert
Also in the marketplace is the ability to set alerts that will notify you when there a listing has been posted to sell credits below a predetermined price, or a listing to buy credits above a predetermined price. Alerts can be set for both buying and selling simultaneously. When a listing is created that meets the player's specifications, an alert will appear at the top of the players screen.

Clicking the orange "CREDITS" will take the player to the marketplace, where the listings can then be purchased if desired. Alerts can be turned off by navigating to the marketplace, and clicking the "Remove Alert" button.

An example of each listing colour
While the market is anonymous by not releasing your name to buyers/sellers, the marketplace does differentiate between listings posted by those in your family, your home city, your own and by those who do not match any of those groups.

Listings posted by members of your crew will appear in a bold green, listings by members of your home city will be in green, listings made by unrelated players will be in black, and listings made by you will be shown in a bold gray.
