Hi guys,

I was wondering if someone could explain why, once in a while, when somebody buys from my sell order, he pays a bit more per unit than what I put on the order.

ie: 3798,99 instead of 3780

Thanks

Found the answer in the FAQ:

Somebody tried to buy from the second best order, and I got the sale with the difference,

That or he sorted by something else than "price" and tried to buy from the first order.

It's usually lazy people wanting to buy in bulk, say they need 25 items and that's spread over 10 sell orders, it's quicker to target the order fulfilling his 25 item needs, and then buying all at that price. Instead of buying them order by order.











Either way free isk YAAAY!

Ah...was wondering where a few extra ISK on some transactions came from, thought there must be some decade old rounding error or something (I'm new so I would have no idea).

One of the classics is someone pricing a crappy item ridiculously high to buy it with one of their other characters as a way to transfer ISK (often trying to get around the trial restrictions). Then they are incredibly sad when they realize they just paid someone 15m ISK for a civilian gatling gun or some such.
