I haven't heard one way or another, but I assume the Devs have some plan. There are a few ways they can handle this. They can prevent you from switching sides while you have stuff in transaction slots. This is the easy solution, and the most likely one IMHO. They can just transfer all of your transaction slots from one market to the other. This has the disadvantage of allowing you to transfer hundreds of recipes (10 per transaction slot) between Markets, and I don't think they want that. Or they can leave your transaction slots alone, and you can't access them unless you switch back. This is almost like losing everything in your slots, and I don't think they'd do that.
Goodbye and thanks for all the fish.
I've moved on to Diablo 3, TopDoc-1304

Second would bring up issues of allowing hte markets to merge. If the plan is to merge them, then that will be the way they do it.
Third is the easiest I think and is already programed for if you think about it, since items and inf no longer get removed after 60 days.

especially as they've made a point of saying you can switch back and forth between factions however many times you like.

I'm going to bet that, once you switch sides, you can't make any new transactions on your previous faction's market. But any old bids and for-sales you still have will still be there and remain there until they are either fufilled or cancelled. Anything new you put up or bid for will, of course, be on the market of your new faction.
The old bids and sales will still take up your auction slots, the same slots they had before you switched. And you'll be able to access them when you click on the market rep for your new faction. They will still be linked to your previous market, and once they are fullfilled or cancelled, you'll no longer have any connection to your old market.
That's what I am betting will happen, anyway.
I'm assuming the answer is that we don't know yet, but just wanted to check.
