I am trying to order products on the market using the "fixed price" option. When I check the trade order, it shows it as using the "best price" option instead of the fixed price that I want to use.
Please fix the issue. |

I think it increases the bid over time. I never use this really. |

No, Khome. It gives you the option to set a fixed price with the additional option of raising the price by a % for each month the order isn't filled. This is written on the page - there is no ambiguity.
I am not asking WHAT the fixed price is; I am asking why when I place a fixed price order, the game proceeds to convert it to a "best price" order. This is also written on this very page, with - I thought - very little ambiguity. |

I think this is correct info, hope it answers your question.
If you are a free member it is always Best Price. There's a note at the bottom of the order page.
If orders go unfilled for a while they convert to Best Price.
You cannot sell or buy above or below the fixed max and min prices. |

Damn.. I'll refrain from answering in the future. |

Thanks Johnv |

If you set a fixed price than this is what you want to pay/receive.
The market procedure will try to find a match.
There is no guarantee there is one.
for each and every offer, there must be a counter offer to make a deal.
fixed price ones are harder to execute.
Market offers and requests are matched by sorting them on a first come first serve order.
if there is more supply the price will go down and if there is more demand, the price will go up.
This is the "normal" market working, like in the real auction markets and the stock trading markets.
The complication is in taking quality into account. |
