"Item Specified for Sell is not Valid"

That's what the game is telling me whenever I try to use the multi-selling feature on two or more items that are spread across two or more stations in the same region I am in.

Note:

I can handle up to 305 active buy/sell orders at any given time and I have a region-wide reach when it comes to remotely selling items. The only trade skills I haven't maxed out so far are Corporation Contracting which is at level 4 and Visibility which I haven't even started training yet. Every other trade skill has been completely maxed out so I shouldn't really be having this problem.

What's happening here is that I first open up the Personal Assets window to see how much stuff I have within the same region I'm in. I even made sure that the view option is set to Current. I see that I have a bunch of stuff spread across the entire region so I try to select multiple items across a few stations in the region -- keeping it small like 6 different items -- and then clicked on "Sell Items (6)" which then brings up the multi-sell window. I individually check the sell value of each item and adjust prices accordingly. Finally I hit "sell".

But then this message comes up.

"Item Specified for Sell is not Valid"

I was a bit dumbstruck when I saw this. So I did a limited test on it by selling two items in two different stations within the same system that I'm in right now. I try to sell and then the message popped up again. I can still sell multiple items at once within the same station, but it doesn't seem to let me do the same across multiple stations or systems even though I can technically establish remote sell orders across an entire region but only one station at a time.

Is this a bug or is it working as intended?

Working as intended.

This feature was hastily botched in to a release using some of CCP Punkturis' copious spare time. As a result it is pretty bereft of functionality and the UI is only half finished. When it was first released it was so bad that the fields weren't even big enough to display the numbers... so at least it's improving.

Soooooooooooo... multi-selling is just an incomplete feature?

Yep.

I'm not sure how CCP expects us to interpret these situations, where they hype up their release features for weeks using dev blogs and video streams but then release them unfinished.

This is exactly the kind of thing I was hoping the faster development cycle would stop.

I hope they fix it then. It would be most convenient to be able to sell of all this junk I have in one go rather than having to remotely sell one item at a time across an entire region.
