Various Restrictions Eased in Coming Update

 Hate how much gil you have to shell out in order to put an item up on the Auction House? Fed up with how much experience points you lose when that monster turned around and defeated you in one hit? Square Enix has you covered, for in the upcoming version update, these restrictions and many others will be reduced or eliminated entirely! In addition to the elimination of Auction House fees and reduction of experience points lost, fame requirements for various quests around the world will be reduced, certain battlefields will see the minimum player requirement reduced to one, homepoints will be adjusted, and much more!

Let us know what you think of the upcoming restriction changes over on the ZAM forums!

You will see a growth in bazaars now, but not necessarily in AH use.

To drive up AH listings, which is what I'm assuming you are trying to do, you still need to:
Raise the 7 item selling limit on AH items significantly (40 items?)
Remove the ability to bazaar items that can't be sold on AH, or make them salable on both (been a while since I played, but many pop items or odd 'ra're items were seemingly broken in this way)
