Quick win here: please limit the buy or sell quantity from a town, to correspond to the number of vans at the town. This prevents unfulfillable orders from being generated. Here's why: I see offers (6 just today!) of more than 210,000 of something, from a town. It's impossible for anyone to fulfil these orders.
It's likely that the players making these orders forgot to select their Trade Hub, or were allowed to enter an impossible quantity. They're likely to be unaware of the error, until someone (like me) taps them gently on the shoulder to explain what might have happened. A validation of town-based orders would prevent unfulfillable orders from being generated. -------------  |

Someone brought up this very same issue a few days ago (I think it was Yeesha). It is impossible to fulfill town buy orders over 210,000. However, I just tried to create a sell order of basic res for 290,000 units and a message came up saying I need 90 caravans in order to place the sell order. It seems like the limit already exist for sell orders but it definitely should be set in place for buy orders. -------------
