Barter item prices are so out of date with today's silver income, it really needs a rework in pricing with the amount of time you spend on it. Please update the prices so they are competitive.
Well I have ask for this many time over the year and as you see nothing has been done and I asked support as well and have been told they give the information to the right people and nothing happens
During the Calpheon Ball they did say they're working on Barter changes, where they're adding two new tiers of goods and adjusting the weight on some of the existing goods..

That being said, they didn't mention adjusting the pricing of lower tier items, so let's see if the new tiers are enough of a buff.

it say There will also be new level 6 and 7 barter goods added, which will be traded in Towns or Cities, but for these goods you cannot transport them using storage.you will not be able to trade them with your ship is what it looks like. Sound more like they trying to bring trading back on land that they kill before.
What was needed was more level 4 to 5 barter and more bay water barter not out to sea and there never should be only 3 level 4 to 5 barter on a reset and have this number of times. Right now you might make 1.5 billion for 5 hours and that the why no one Barters. But they do not get it I ased many time and nothing get fix. What they are doing now does not sound like the fix.
Adding L6 and L7 items will not fix the issue because right now you are not only limited by weight, you are also limited in barter refresh and parley. The amount of restrictions for bartering is insane for the silvers you get. I can understand if you can make 2 Billion an hour but that is not the case here. Bartering is still semi active and it should at least net you 1 Billion/Hour in my opinion to make it an alternative to grinding.

I'm not sure this is the correct interpretation, especially not since Trading (Land) and Bartering (Sea) are intentionally separate. What the "Cannot transport them using the storage system" likely means is that you won't be able to use the transport wagons to move them from storage to storage. This should not prevent you from depositing it into or pulling it from your storage through the Wharf Manager.
I will say though, if it IS the case that you can't deposit them into your storage, it would go directly against the current Barter "ruleset" and it would definitely raise some eyebrows, from myself included.

Could you please add all the links for the suggestions you have made?
Last time i did barter in 2021. Like what a point of bartering if i can grind 3b+ per hour? When barter was released i was doing 1b for 3h barter every day, when grinding was 300m per hour, so it was good alternative. And i had to do it active to finish 3 round for 3h, it was not afk. With current income barter should give 10-15b for 3 rounds, otherwise no sense to do it at all. I am pretty sure barter is still on the same level 1-1.5b for 3 rounds, devs even didnt try to buff it, just QoL changes for dead life skill, good job. But devs nerf dead classes and buff broken classes, so there is not even a chance to get money for barter that would reward your time and you didnt feel like you waste your time.
Barter items need to also be all stackable. There is no reason level 5 items don't stack and with level-6-7 coming out, you would need to storage sites and have to go back and forth.
Not being able to transport barter items is gonna make this insanely more annoying. You saved so much time that way. This is an extremely bad decision. At least Hakoven barter not being a thing anymore will mean i can bring all these items to ilya from Ancado, but when i do a margoria run for CC i bring a couple of each barter items cause i dont know what ill need when i refresh and then the leftovers are put in storiage at nampo which i then send back to ilya for when ill barter the next day. Now i'll have to actually bring all of it back to ilya. That's time costly. I was looking forward to the bartering buff but if we can't transport items anymore, i might actually just stop doing it....
