Dear CCP,

It just came to my attention that when you're selling something using advanced window to the existing buy-order, you're still paying Broker's fee (for setting up the sell order which then immediately executes) but when using simple window, only sales tax is paid.

It's a quite subtle difference and not easily noticeable. Advanced window provides more finctionality while making illusion that it can also substitute all Simple window features, which is not the case and is never explicitly explained via warnings etc., so it's natural to think that you won't ever need Simple window.

Could you please address this somehow? E.g., remove broker fee when there's a buy order available to immediately execute sell order about to be set up.

You need to set the duration to "immediate" under advanced and the broker's fee will go away.

The game does not check to see if an order already exists and assumes the broker's fee must be charged for an order with a length of time greater than zero.
