Items from the same sell order selling at different prices.

Sorry if this has been posted before but I haven't been able to find an answer.

When I set up a sell order and another player buys from it, the wallet reports that I have received different amounts for each item.

For example, one guy bought several units of the same item over a few minutes. One went for 270000, the next for 235000 and the next two for 230000.

This is all from the same sell order at the same price, bought with the same guy within a few minutes so both me and him had the same skills over this period.




So why the hell do I get credited with different amounts for each item?


Many thanks,

Cad

If a person tries to buy something using advanced buy order option and tries to buy it for a higher price than the lowest sell order, he will buy that lowest sell order for the price he input.
That's how market works.

Once I had a mining turret up for 30,000 ISK and someone accidentally bought it for 40,000,000 isk.
Then he immediately raged me in an eve mail and put a bounty on me before I even came online lol

I cause this a lot cause I'm lazy and end up right clicking on the second or third from lowest sell order of an item.
