Wth is with people who don't know what they want?

For the HP that T2 potions are able to give back, they're just not worth anywhere near as much as the raw materials that go into them sell for to most people.

Compare the materials to make one T2 HP potion:

3 Tough Meat, 2 Spirit's Fruit (MQ), 2 Sign of Trace, 1 Geranium

to the materials needed to make one T3 HP potion:

3 Tender Meat, 2 Spirit's Fruit (MQ), 3 Sign of Trace, 1 Violet

Both tough and tender meats are very common, and Geraniums and Violets are easy to acquire as you run around and harvest, but Signs of Trace and Spirit Fruit are hard to find in large quantities, yet both recipes have similar requirements.

Considering that Spirit Fruit and Signs of Trace both sell to NPC merchants for 100c, that means that players hoping to buy them from other players will generally start their buy prices around 150c each and go up from there. So, just in terms of Spirit Fruits and Signs of Trace you're looking at around 750c minimum per potion in market value of Spirit Fruit and Signs of trace for a T2 potion, but only 150c more for those two ingredients for a T3 potion. Since, as I already stated, the difference between tough and tender meats is negligible since they drop so often, and the plant components are both fairly easy to get, what this really means is that the T2 potion production costs are way out of whack in comparison to what the potions are capable of healing when compared to the T3 ones which are similar.

The bottom line is that it's almost not even worth trying to skill up on and sell T2 potions because very few players will want to spend what they're worth in terms of materials, when it's likely that a HP stone will give just as many HP back at a cost of well under 100c. Don't be mad at the players for a condition which is the fault of the game's designers. If the T2 potions only required one Spirit Fruit and Sign of Trace each, then maybe they'd be worth it to more players. As it stands, I would suggest grinding up on T1 potions (use decomposition to break down the T2 raws into T1 and knock yourself out!) until you're able to make the T3 ones, because players will be more likely to want to buy the T3 ones for 1.5s each or more since they perform better than stones do for most players.
