The shops section of the marketplace works just fine.

i was wondering why so many people have been posting one-off trades in Marketplace > Shops

If you post your trade topic somewhere you have permissions for, I can move it to Marketplace for you. You could also spend some time reading posts to get TL1 (exact requirements here).
But like nuclear said, the restriction is intentional because there was a bunch of bad trade offers being made by new users.

Access to Marketplace should be restricted for new users

So, first of all, I’ve been always trying to make this post be noticed by newer forum users, to avoid posting in said category. My reason to make that post was already explained there: it simply isn’t a smart decision to make your first post at marketplace because there are better places to make your forum start on and it floods the category in case it’s a bad trade. Still, most people ignore it, which is expectable, since I’m not bumping the thread over and over again that much times. Howeve…

I don’t really have any strong opinions on if the rule is a good idea, but if we’re keeping it we should probably extend the restriction to include Marketplace > Shops.
