I don't know if there's a problem or I'm doing something wrong but I can't sell stolen goods at the Black Market. Earlier when I was half awake and waiting for my T9 Trader to arrive I accepted a bunch of trade missions and after it arrived I loaded the T9 up full with the stuff only to discover they were all surprisingly going to medium pads. It did occur to me that some of it might go to a smaller station but never would have guessed all of it. I've got too much stuff to switch to a smaller ship so my only option was to discard a couple missions, sell the stuff at Black Market and switch over to a smaller ship and complete the rest of the missions once I freed up enough space. But the black market won't buy the stuff, it doesn't say why or anything, I just click to sell and nothing happens. My experience with Black Markets in the past has just been smuggling illegal stuff in, not selling stolen goods that had been mission cargo. I don't know if there's some problem with how I'm doing it or a problem with my game or what. I'd like to find out what's going on because I'm currently stuck in a Type 9 with a bunch of active missions I can't finish until I get rid of some of this cargo and I'd rather sell the stuff than just jettison it but it's starting to look like that's what I might have to do. Did they change it so you couldn't sell stolen mission goods? I knew it was at least possible in the past because I remember reading people getting an achievement for selling Black Market goods that way, though I can see them changing it for that reason although it's an easy enough achievement to earn naturally.

I've got 700 tons of Caddyshack II on VHS, I wouldn't do you like that.
Actually I'm in a Type 9 with a bunch of enemies trying to interdict me so I'll probably just jettison the cargo before doing much travelling around to sell it off. It's not high value stuff, mostly food cartridges and synthetic meat. Not worth evading too many interdictions in this hog for but I hate to just toss the stuff.
Okay this is weird, on a whim I decided to try and sell part of it, like 20 out of the 120 of one of the groups of haulage. I was able to sell it off incrementally like that. Couldn't sell the whole thing, or even half but in small batches I was able to sell it.
Edit: I see what was going on, it was grouping all of one type of cargo together so that if I tried to sell it all it was including active cargo for missions I hadn't abandoned.
