Right now if you are selling or buying a large quantity of something and want to use immediate orders you might have to use multiple orders to get your transaction done. This can take a significant amount of time. I want a feature that works much like the feature that allows us to sell multiple items from the same window at the same time. But instead it is buying or selling large quantities of the same item.

Not sure what you mean. You can sell large quantities of the same item in one go, granting there are buy orders up for said item. Otherwise it kicks into your market orders.

Your post is confusing and I'm not really sure what you're asking that the new multi-sell market order interface doesn't already do.

If I am selling the following:
10x Item A
And the buy orders are:
1x 5 ISK
5x 4 ISK
3x 3.5 ISK
10X 3.4 ISK

I will have to make four transactions to sell my items, I want to be able to make the four transactions all at once from the same window similar to the way the multi sell window works.

The reason that happens is because the price you list to sell only matches the first buy order. So it fulfills that order and kicks the rest up as sell orders. If you want to sell all 10x Item A then your list price needs to match the 4th buy order price. Now this doesn't help for buy orders separated by huge amounts of isk as there is a loss of profit there, but you can't sell the items otherwise unless your sell price matches the amount of buy orders listed.

Ex:

10x Item A you list at 100 isk.

Buy Orders:
1x 100 isk
5x 99 isk
3x 95 isk
10x 90 isk

List your 10x Item A at 90 isk and all will be sold immediately.

Yes, I understand the mechanics as they are, I'm suggesting that a new mechanic be implemented to allow me to fill multiple orders for the same item the way I can fill multiple orders for different items.

If you understood the mechanics then you would know the way I explained works just fine and that it is not needed for CCP to change something that already does what you are asking.

Lower your sell price to a lower buy order to fulfill them all at once. Problem solved.

Time is money so it is not a waste

Is that my two cents or yours?

Why do you two dislike this feature suggestion? Do you also dislike the multiple sell window?

Wasting isk is inherent with playing on a market run by other players. Without them you wouldn't be selling anything at a decent price because all the buy orders would be stupid cheap.

I love the multiple sell window, it makes selling 50 different items easy. Also, your suggestion is not even such. You are literally asking for an apple to be more like an apple. I really don't think you understand what you are asking because you would see that it can not be implimented since it already exists.

If the buy orders exist, YOU have to match their price to quick sell items. If not, then it becomes a sell order. There is no way around it because if the buy orders do not exist, then you can't even sell the item to begin with. It's really not hard to understand.

For 90 ISK each! That's kind of stupid, plus in some situations you pay extra fees to NPC that you would not pay filling the orders manually!

I want to be able to open a sell window for my 10 items and sell for a total of 1060 ISK in the same number of clicks as if I was filling one buy order.
